Hello all!
After plenty of prodding, I've started testing for TDS to determine appropriate nutrient levels. I test the reservoir of my Waterfarms every morning and night. One plant's TDS is getting lower each test, so this means that it can take more nutrients, right? It's losing between 100-200 ppm per day.
So I can add some more nutrient. What should I add? I'm using the GH Flora Series with all the silly little additives. I am leaning towards adding more Koolbloom, which is 0-15-15 I believe. Advice? The plants look happy, so there is no disorder to adjust for...thanks for the help out!

Sry btw the plant is in mid bloom (week 5 of flower) and is an Indica phenotype called Zensation from Ministry of Cannabis. I hold my pH at 5.8 and environmental factors seem close to the real deal...

does that plant look hungry or different from others? it has been my expirence that plants take water and all the nutes that it holds and not just cherry pick what they want from said h20.. this becomes very evident when you over feed. go easy my friend, one shot of to strong and the whole deal may go haywire on you.

I agree ....."its okay to have limited salt in the curry so that you can add more if required however if there is too much already, there is noway to get a good taste" lol
