Nutrient Levels from Clone to Veg to Flower

Hi Guys,

New grower here... Just got the hang of the entire process of growing DWG, clones, after numerouz attempts are looking lovely and my PPM pen arrived just in time... I am going with a 25l rez with two clones in each and wanted to know what the PPM levels should looks like from when I introduce the clones to the Rez throughout the Veg cycle to Flower...

I have read up on keeping the levels constant but i am looking for a feeding schedule that is known to show great success... I have a very nice Exodus Cheese strain that has been holding out on my rookie mistakes but now i am more experienced and just need to dig a bit deeper...

I have read that guys like to maintain a PPM level of 700, starting off with the 350 for the clones... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

got any pics

your ppm levels sound about right

350ppm for your clones butt expect there needs to rise fast.. as soon as you see them start to grow increase to 450 to 500ppm maybe with a week

on the top end of growth maybe 700 to 900 ppm it just depends on your brand of meter since different brands give different readings....for that reason I prefer an EC meter of a ppm meter ... EC meters are the same no matter the brand

do you have any pics

what is DWG
did you mean DWC ...deep water culture?

Start low and watch the levels in the days following a refill. My res EC rarely falls but rises just slightly over a week. I dump and refill as required and very rarly top up as I find plants do better. Rarely do I exceed 750-800 ppm unless I get a heavy feeder. Watch your plants, keep a journal, don't write shit in it if high as it never seems to make sense lol.
