interesting knight...I had no idea I would get such mixed answers from everyone here on the ppm issue.

My ppm is currently at 500 and 4-5 of them are looking really healthy finally with some new growth. 4-5 is not 20 thou....

some plants look overwatered and wilting while others are a 1/4" higher up, dryer and also wilting. The most healthy plants are lower down, getting saturated and taking advantage of the 4 hour dry time.



I am certian that a large part of my problem is my nutrient solution. I have had much easier experiences growing with the organic version of GH nutes floranova etc. I will stick to this in the future unless I have success with this lucas formula that was brought 2 my attention.

why is it that with the floranova series there is a huge buffer zone which is acceptable to younger plants. I could get away with anything from 250-500 mebe 600 on some young ones with that good ol two part. Is there more available nitrogen for the youngsters?

also do you guys think 500ppm is to much for fresh transfers from clone tray? I believe it is, but the plants with new growth appear to be not yellowing at all. plants are now at least looking alive with waxy leaves with top nodes begining to pop out at an excruciatingly slow pace.

The buffer zone. It's not a buffer zone, it's a range that may work for you, depending on what the plant needs or can handle - which is based on genetics. Some strains or pheno's thrive at very different nute loads and ratios than others.

oh, well i have kept the genetics constant in diff nute types....I think you misunderstood my statement. I dont blame you, my thoughts are often disjointed and or irrelevant. The GH 3 part just wont work for me...
