So when I flush them should I add the salt or do that when I feed them lightly?

If you talking about like the water residue shit then no I don’t got that I just tested ph of it and it’s at 7.47 so I lowered it down to 6.5 and I’ll flush with that

Hey man quick question. So you see how big she is and like I said she’s probably 3-4 weeks old. How long would you let her go before switching her over?

Hey so I got a cheap meter and this is what it reads.I wait Til it shows sex, preflowers. But some are impatient and flip to early, resulting in smaller yields, but that's just me
38 PPM
80 conductivity

Should be good. Your water starts at 38 so you added about 174 ppms of recharge.
Total ppms for your plant with nutes should be around 500ppms max. til it gets a bit bigger than you can bump it up to around 600-700. Veg.
Ec is basically , double your ppms. @ 0.5 scale.
You can go by ec or ppms , upto you which you prefer to use.

Oh okay see I have no clue about this stuff haha it’s all foreign to me haha I just don’t understand what it’s measuring. Like I here people talking about measuring the run off and stuff like how does this help me by knowing the TDS and stuff ya know?

Tds is Total Dissolved Solids, in a liquid. Same # as ppm.
Its the amt of Salts basically. More stuff you add higher number gets.
Max ppms:
Seedlings or clones...250- 400ppms
Veg 500-700 Ppms
Flower 650-800 Ppms
Run off is if you see an issue you can measure it just to see amt coming out of soil but don't worry about what's coming out just focus on what goes in. Ph and ppms.
Water til you get at least 20% runoff and it will insure no buildup of salt in soil.

Awesome man. You’re the best really good explication of it. That makes sense to me now. Thank you so much for answering my questions and helping me out I appreciate it brother.Tds is Total Dissolved Solids, in a liquid. Same # as ppm.
