Question about ec level? Help a girl out!

Hey guys. Growing in coco outdoor, week 4 flower and decided to switch to synthetic hydro nutes instead of my organic nute I use, which has too much nitrogen for my liking in flower.


I’m currently watering it at 2.6ec, previous watering was 2.4ec, before that I did 2.1 and 1.6. It’s a big plant in a 120l pot, thing is huge. I’m raising it until I see a slight burn, which isn’t happening ? How high Can I go before it’s too much? Thanks xx

You're pushing the limits right now. I personally wouldn't go any higher. I don't know why you want to push it until a slight burn. That can have detrimental effects on the yield and quality. You don't want to induce stress at this stage of flower.

You have early signs of overnuting this can burn the flower sets and decrease yield, many growers grow in a range of 1 to 1.6, I don’t go much over 1.4 indoors. If that was gg4 it would be screwed at 2.6 ime but thanks for posting as yours doesn’t look too gone yet. 360 litres of ec1.2 run through the medium would be my fix

I mean, I previously burnt it with the organics. Was feeding with organics at about 2.1ec, but this was in veg

this photo was today just after 2.6, but have been feeding the last week with 2.4, huge growth

Whatch the plant it will tell ya

But i wouldnt want to push them mich harder they have a good color to em

Better to give it more then too much

^^^^ exactly, let it tell you and at the first signs of slight burn you have found the limit. Let the plant tel you but do it slowly. Isn’t hydro really a method to push the plant to it’s limit but not over lol.
