Is this a okay ppm for my ladies? It's 160-161 ppm. I have them in Fox Farms Ocean forest and Fox farms light warrior 50/50 mix. Is this a good ppm for the water I'm giving to them?

What is your water source? Sort of right on the edge of usable in my opinion so I'd want to know what is in it. If coming from a water softener, it is too high.

Do you have a water quality report on your well? I'd sure be tempted to use it and probably would just run with it if I couldn't find a well report or get a test done. I've heard 150 is sort of the cut off point, but 160 seems pretty darn close.

In what I have read, PPM of straight water can be as high as 250 - 300, for a high side, so I believe you are all good. I think Buyeye is right though, I would want a water quality report to know what solids are in your water.

I assume you have been giving them this well water thus far in their growth and your plants look good.

In looking at your soil, perhaps a little more perlite would have been a good thing..... just sayin.

Good luck and keep us posted.

My water is 200-250 and soil plants love it! Hydro took a bit to dial but still ok. But if you feel the need get a water test but really if the plants are doing fine why worry. And really only if I had a problem with using it would I be tempted to get complete analysis to see if it could be water and rectified. Now if you live in Love Canal area then hmmm maybe a test lol.

If your asking me I cant help, sorry! All I do is hydro now and never ph'd in soil as it was organic and never felt the need. Also my res is sterile so I use chemical ph up and down. Hopefully others will chime in.
