Understanding and Calculating Nutrient PPM

Understanding and Calculating Nutrient PPM PPM (Parts Per Million) can seem like a mystery but it’s actually very simple. Basically the idea is to quantify how much “stuff” is in your water. PPM is commonly measured by a grower using an electronic pen which measures the electrical conductivity...

Nice link @J232. Jhef, I’m not sure if you’re new to growing or not but a lot of newbies tend to over complicate things. The N-P-K values in your grow and bloom formula were formulated with the correct values for specific stages of the plant’s life. It’s not really necessary to calculate the exact values of what each ppm is for each element unless you’re making your own nutes or something. I’m not knocking your chemist approach but I’ve seen beautiful results from plenty growers who don’t break down the ppm of each individual element they’re putting in their plants. Just making a mere suggestion and should be taken as constructive criticism. I am a true believer of keeping things simple and that less is more. Good luck on your grow and peace man :peace:

J232 good link - I've read that before, and a lot of Renfro posts- he is a great resource



"What gets measured gets managed"


My product is quality- my thought is why limit what you can know if you can learn more?
