So I finally got a TDS meter so I can meter the EC of my solution. I read that for hydroponics peak vegetation, the recommended TDS ppm should be from 800-900 and that for flower it should be around 1000-1100. What would be recommended for a soil fox farm ocean with 1/3 perlite mixture? i just tested the water I've been using to feed my plants (which are in their 4th week of vegging) and it came to 1350, which puts me at about 2.7 EC. Any thoughts or suggestions?
TDS/EC accurate readings.

1350 is a little to high IMO
i grow in soil myself and rely on my PPM meter.
id say depending on the size of your plants in veg that 600-700 is more where you should be. During flower i havent seen anything good from exceeding 1200ppm. i might feed that PPM only ONCE and then back it done to 1000. thats my safe zone.
this is also dependent on nutrient company. what are u using?

Mvoltage: I'm using the three parts system from Advanced Nutrients (Grow, Micro, Bloom) they're specifically for hydroponics but I'm using them in light increments. Right now I'm leaving the PPM between 700-800 as they are in their 4TH week of vegging.
Laced: I mixed up some some sugar with yeast 16OZ sugar, 1 tea spoon yeast...I have 4, 1 gallon bottles I'm a 8x8' area..I haven't checked the ppm in the co2
