Understanding PPM

I got a ppm last week and that's how I've been doing mine and it seem to work well. if it drops below 1.2ec I feed them over 2.0 it's just water.

A couple other tid bits I've picked up.

PPM
If your ppm is rising, it means your plants are using more water than nutrients.
If ppm climbs after a flush, it usually means that the medium is holding salts (the plants are not using all the nutes you're giving them).

soil soil soil ! its all about the soil ?

And the choice of nutes we use.

Its like one big combination lock.

once we know the combination, its happy days !

That 's how I see it, in another year or two I'll likely be like the others, never really looking at my meters etc. But until I get to that point, things like a ppm meter help me understand a little more clearly what is going on with my plants.
