Ok so I found this info as far as feeding my plants as a Rough guide:
Seedling Stage:
PPM Range: 100-250 PPM (parts per million)
Seedlings are sensitive to strong nutrient solutions, so a mild concentration is appropriate. Start with a lower PPM and gradually increase as the plants develop.
Vegetative Stage:
PPM Range: 300-800 PPM
As the plants enter the vegetative stage and start growing more vigorously, you can increase the nutrient concentration. Again, start on the lower end and adjust based on the plant's response.
Flowering Stage:
PPM Range: 800-1200 PPM
During the flowering stage, cannabis plants generally have increased nutrient demands. Adjust the nutrient concentration accordingly, but be cautious not to exceed levels that could lead to nutrient burn.
My question is this, Is the the PPM of JUST the Ferts, or do these numbers go by the PPM of the water + the Nutes?
Example, the 250 ppm max for seedlings, if your water is 150 ppm does that mean you can only add 100ppm of nutes, or does that mean you can use 250ppm of nutes and Ignore the ppm of the base water?
