Indoor Correct nutrient quantities in coco/hydro??

[Pezzer69]

Hi. The Plagron and Dutch pro nutrients I use both come with feeding charts. For example when in flower the plagron chart suggest 35ml of each A+B nutrient and EC levels about 2.3. I use rain water and when I add the recommended quantity of nutrient the EC level is only about 1.6. Should I increase the amount of nutrient until the the recommended EC is achieved or will that be too much nutrient. My EC meter is calibrated. Thank you.....

I'd stick with your 1.6 EC .. 2.3 seems heavy for an auto.

If your leaves start going a pale green - you'll know your under feeding them sligtly and up the feed a bit.
If they crisp up at the ends (start to llok burnt) the nutrient solution was too heavy.

Feeding at 1.6EC shouldn't hurt your plants unless they're seedlings (then i'd stick to around 1.2)

Of course you can stress test the plant by upping the ec by 0.1 each feeding to see where the tip burn occurs and then dial it back down a bit - but that's a pain in the arse.

Just my two cents as a laid back grower

hope it helps
