I've seen people with other hydro systems get up to 2000 so I'm wonderin if aero is really that much lower all the way through...
It completely depends on your strain, in flowering i would say an average is 1600ppms but people can get it higher simply by training the plant to take in more by upping levels slowly over time. U need to figure it out for yourself what ppms your plants like and how to watch for when they are just at the right spot, u will see very nice green leaves with no abnormities, by upping ppms gradually over time u rid of the risk of burnign them becuase u can always back off and lower it with out any stunting of growth. Every system is also different so u need to "get to know" how your system operates, a first grow ussually lets u know how your system is going to preform.
JackdaWack Reviewed by JackdaWack on . Question on Cloning I have never cloned before. As I have read, you have a mother plant which you never take out of the veggie state. If this is true, how do you know it is female, and if not, if it was male, wouldn't you clones also be male? On my next grow, I am thinking I want to make one a mother for clones. Rating: 5
