HR, things are going good! My plants definitely seem to be doing better on AN G/M/B.. So I thought I read somewhere about when your res level drops and your ppm's rise slightly? Is it because your plants are using a lot more water? Thanks?

HR, when my water level goes down and my ppm's go up can I just add water to bring the ppm's back down if I'm not filling it back up? Thanks

Yep if your ppm raise to where you dont like how high it is then just add water till its where you want it.
You wont be able to fill the res full, overtime you will have to fill it all the way up and do a add back.

HR, just overnight I went in my room and my ppm's were up to 1450! I added some more water to bring it down since I'll be changing it out tomorrow anyway. Just in that short time I did get a little nute burn on the tips. I'm assuming when I fill it up and do an add back I won't have such a dramatic Swing in ppm's. This is obviously my first time at this stage so any additional advice? Thanks in advance.

Dam you got tip burn at 1450, when you do your add back tomorrow mix it up with less.
not much less just a bit. Can you post a pic or to

Hr on my flood table I'm using 3 gallon smart pots with roots coco which has a lot of perlite but was wondering where I should start my ppm I'm using dyna gro gro and pro tekt? Starting from rooted clone

Im not to into dg yet! Played with it alittle bit. I use this as a rule of thumb,

cloning 150/200 ppm. Non r/o water
rooted clone 400 ppm
one week after running at 400ppm move to 600ppm
last week of veg move to 800ppm

Flush all plants then move to bloom
start to finish 1150/1200

ok great advice so you flush it out just once around not for any given time like 24 hours? and you run 1150-1200 all the way through? u dont think pyrmiding up and down is better? and whats a good sign to flush a couple amber trichs? and how long do you flush for?

As soon as i see a amber or two its time! As for a raising and lowering ppm during bloom no I keep it a level playing
feild, only change sups through bloon at different times!

It dont hurt to do a quick flush between res changes, like cycle some water through then dump before mixing new nutes up.
