Nutrients for soil grows

So i have a question regarding dyna gro. Maybe it's not just me so I figured I would ask and put this put there.
Does anyone else get really low ppm using the feeding recommendations that dynagro gives? Mine is coming put at like 200 when I use 75% of there recommendations. I'm not trying to go full strength due to the chance of burn.

Thanks everyone

I use Dyna Gro with R/O water. I use 1 teaspoon per gallon of Grow and Foliage Pro in veg with the same amount of Protect. I get around 800 to 850 ppm in 3 gallons of water.

I fill the bucket first with R/O water (3 gallons). Then I add the Protekt and stir (1 tablespoon). Then 1 tablespoon of Grow and Foliage Pro, and stir. Then about 1 teaspoon of PH UP gets the water leveled off to about 6.5.

In flower I start adding Bloom to the above mix @ 1/2 teaspoon per gallon after 2 weeks. This gets my ppm to around 950. I increase the bloom after 4 weeks to 1 teaspoon per gallon for 1050 ppm. After 6 weeks I'll throw in 1 teaspoon of Mag Pro into the 3 gallons of water to increase ppm to 1100.

Have you calibrated your pen? Are you using R/O water? Try my method with 3 gallons of water. See what happens. Let me know :blsmoke:

I suppose this was directed towards me. So even with the protekt you still add ph up? I only had strips so far, I have a pen on the way, and I only know dyna gro drops the hell out of it. I dont know the exact number. I'm using my tap water, its comes out at between 20 and 30 ppm.

I keep it simple with great success.
Fox farm ocean w/30% perlite
Fox farm trio
Calmag 5ml per gallon
PH'd to 6.2
Feed twice a week
Flushed every 4 weeks per FF schedule.

That's it folks. Latest haul 1941 grams 4 plants.
Is this outdoors? If not, how big is your grow space and what light are you using?

sorry I meant 1941 was wet.
Nice, man! Sounds like you had a good grow! I use the same stuff as you.

Except I just used some container soil from Lowes that was on sale. Nothing special. I use the Fox Farm ferts too. Plus I add cal/mag and the Open Sesame trio as well. I havent bothered to PH any of my stuff. So far so good!

Yeah I'm too stoned for all that. I keep it simple and usually have seamless grows.

FWIW, I've been using Jack's Classic for the past 17 years. Had other nutrients sent to me over the years, tried them out and always went back to Jack's.

Advanced Nutrients Conneiseur at 50-75% recommended dose. Adding B52, CarboLoad, Roots Accelerator (H&G) and Big Bud. Only using these at half to 75% of what they recommend and loving the results. Curious what other Advanced users are doing..
Will try to get a pic up later - only in week 3 here..
I make my own tea for nutes, I use 1 cup of bat guanao and 1 cup of earth worm droppings and a tablespoom of epsom salts in a 5 gal bucket of rainwater, aerated with 2 aquarium pumps and the effects are outrageous. Happy growing.
