ALL COPY AND PASTED FROM THE LAST 2 POSTS IN MY GROW JOURNAL https://www.rollitup.org/t/trying-again-pro-mix-hp-3-purple-pope-seeds-from-night-owl-any-help-appreciated.1087791/page-6#post-17318300. Just checked. PPM is at a low 347. Not really sure why as i followed fastbuds feeding chart for inert soil. Maybe i shoukd go back to the hydro chart but halve the numbers as the PPM was was approximately 1200 at full feeding. I am going to try and get it to be between 750-950 due to fastbuds info as I believe i am still near the beginning of the flowering cycle. These are the webpages i am using https://2fast4buds.com/news/remo-nutrients-feeding-chart-usage-guide feeding charts https://2fast4buds.com/news/how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-plants-in-a-hydroponic-setup suggested PPM and PH levels. I am not really sure if i should trust fastbuds info. I was looking at their PPM suggestion and it is saying it should get higher near the end of flowering. Looking at the hydroponic feeding chart they start to drop the amount of nutrients by week 3 of flowering which is contradictory? It is also weird to me as the inert soil chart says you should increase nutrients like their PPM suggests. Why would there be a difference between the inert soil and hydroponic chart? Also why would the PPM be so low if using the inert soil chart instead of the hydroponic?

Wish I could help ya. I use coco/perlite and Athena in my autopots. Works great, simple feed chart. I was told not to use Promix by autopot reps.

I can see them saying not to use pro mix. Probably not good to have it constantly moist with the dolomite lime i think. This isn’t really a question about promix though. It is about the contradictory suggestions from fastbuds. I can see why you might want to have more nutes in hydro but with them saying the PPM should increase near the end of flowering and then tell people to lower the amount of nutes they are using on their feed chart for hydro. Also the PPM after using the inert soil chart is way too low. I guess i should actually contact fastbuds for the reasoning but just thought someone here might have known.
