Okay so lets talk about ppms and nutes;

i have a 55 gal res, with an airstone in bottom for veg and flower
I'm running a coco coir system with aeration formula coco coir for faster drain
I'm dipping into res and hand watering everyday when lights go on.
I have res hooked up to my r/o hydrologic with a floater switch. So as I pull water out it auto fills back uup ow I'm having a hell of a time getting a straight answer.

Lets say fresh barrel of r/o water. Now I'm gonna mix in my nutes. Running full strength is 835 ml advanced sensi a&b , the. 400 ml of each additives
once I mix everything in. I'm at 2200 ppm!!! So I take a couple buckets out mix in more water bring down to about 1000-1200 and feed then that.


IS THIS CORRECT?

and everyday as the ppm steadily drops. How do I know when to add more? And what to add more off and how much??
Min so confused and so close to end I do t wanna fk up my crop.

Please help

You need to mix less nutes in. If your dumping buckets out you're wasting $$$. Whatever ratios you're using mix at a lower gallon. Insead of mixing at 55 gal mix at 35 but still use 55 gal of water.

Im a believer in flushing your res weekly. The system you have I don't like. Eventually you're just going to be diluting the nutes. There is no way to tell which nutes are being used and in what amount. There are several theories and grow formulas so you have to experiment and find what works for you.
