Q regarding ppms and multi feeds a day in coco

[Clem Fandango]

I switched to two feeds a day too. Before each plant was getting 4+lt per day at 7-800 ppm. I switched to two feeds a day as well after reading the same cocoforcannabis article. I keep my ppm at 700 for both feeds; so 2-2.5ltr per plant x2 @ 700-800 ppm per feed. My plants responded very well to this schedule and started looking healthier and more robust.

This is exactly what im talking about brother. Im glad you understand my question. Im thinking of doing it with two other plants I have running. Just lower ppms though. Maybe around 550-600 tops

Would that be nute ppm + starting water ppm per feed? Or 550-600 Total ppm per feed?

I put mine at 7-800 total ppm per feed and just keep an eye out for problems but I'd rather, slightly over feed than under.

It all depends on genetics, plant age and conditions I suppose. But getting it dialled in between 600 and 800 should be a pretty easy process.

My two plants are week one and two in flower. Its in total. My tap water ppms is around 40.

Ok, I am not experienced enough to advise any one in any direction. I'll keep an eye on your results though and see if yours react better to the lower ppm.

Are u using advanced nutrients? I have had a salt issue with my massive girl... from going over 600 ppms a few times. So i don't want that happening again. Those nutrients are highly concentrated

I'm using GH or TA in Europe. The Flora trio but using the Lucas formula.. 1:2 with additional Calmag intermittently.

Also, my starting water is 400, with already high calcium and magnesium. So the ppm of my nutes is only 400 at most. You're already ahead of me with a 40 ppm starting water and then going to 550- 600 ppm. That's a good 150 ppm more than my mix. So that'd be why I might get away with the 7-800. My mix is still weaker in most things than yours would be.
