PPM levels

[Tarheelman]

I am currently running a DWC system and have seen conflicting info on what the PPM for TDS should be . What is the optimum level?

This i promise Campesino will answer. He has several guides if you look him up here.

Redwasp you knew I wouldn’t be able to ignore this post!

Tarheelman what nutrient line are you using and what is their recommended range for EC/PPM? we need to start with that and adjust for the particulars of your setup

id say just as a general rule from 1 to 1.5EC would be a safe range to be during the learning curve of your particular nutrients and set up, remember there is no magic recipe and every single strain / pheno can have very different needs. becoming better at growing is mostly learning to read and understand what the plants are telling and asking you for. good luck happy growing

Thank you Redwasp and Campesino for your help! Unfortunately I can't answer the question about the EC/PPM for my nutrient line because I do not have the bottles handy to check. I am handicapped and my grow is on the second floor which I can't get to without my wifes help . I will ask her to get the bottles when she returns from work in a few hours. Tarheelman

No problem Tarheelman
The information is probably online if you know the name/brand. It probably isn’t on the bottles themselves. Let us know the info that you can and we can help find the nutrient schedule.
