Just got my PH meter and TDS meter in the mail today.

Was using the dropper PH kit before and had it pretty close to 6.0. Now with the digital meter got it right at 5.8.

Checked my TDS for the first time to discover it was at 1100 for my little veglings (1st week)! Fuck! I thought they looked a little burned but was waiting for my meter. Anyway I checked my base TDS of my tap water (300 ppm) and added just enough nutes for 600 ppm.

Sounds right; right?

You shouldn't be giving any nutes to your plants if they are only one week old.

They're not a week old, they are a week or two into veg.

The TDS was around 35 and the PH was 50. Find them on Amazon from HMI Digital. I talked to the company and got a lot of really good info.
