I guessed at my nutes over the weekend, in all my DWC buckets....so anyways, I'm booming at 2050 in one set-up and 1900 in the other...alittle higher than I usually go...lol...I follow the chart and should be at about 1400 this week....so far so good, no burning...I just keep topping off the water for now.I had to replace the battery in my meter...shoulda done that 1st!

Depending on the strain 1700-1800 full bloom. It rises a little as it drinks water and is not using the nutes, Then I just top off with water and it comes back down.

Had other strains that wouldn't handle over 1200.

Strain dependent, but if you have to keep adding water without nutes, that means your plants are drinking more of the water than the nutes. Your plants should be taking up the same amount of nutes and water. Lower your nutes. At least that's the take I've gotten.

Depends what the temps are and what the ph is doing. If the ph is dropping definitely lower the ppm.
