My ppms last week were 750 then last night I bumped it up to like 830 or so. At what intervals with regards to ppms are you thinkin.

I also think I read on here that some like to push the pant(s) max and just burn the very tips on the fan leaves then back off a hair. How long (in hours) would you guestimate you would notice this in the plant?

I think for a plant that size you are doing it about right. Here's my schedule, but remember I figured this out after a couple harvests of experimenting to find the right amount. Yours could be different. Also my well water starts with 260 ppm before I add anything.

week 1-2: Whatever ppm happens when you mix 3 drops of SuperThrive per gallon. I usually leave them in the cloner for 2 weeks, sometimes even more, unless I am in a hurry. In that case maybe 10 days. Sometimes I've even started growing them in the cloner (if I'm busy or something), and start upping the ppm right there.

week 3: At the start of week 3 the plants come out of the cloner and go into the system. I pull the light at least 3 feet back for my 600W, or 2 1/2 feet for my 400 watt (Also decided through experimentation). My ppm goes up to 650. During the few times I grow from seed and in dirt, at week three I go to about 400 instead, and lower the other weeks ppm a little too.

week 4: ppm = 1000

week 5: ppm = 1200

week 6 through harvest: ppm = 1450

Yes, a good way to find out exactly how much food your plants want is to keep increasing slowly, maybe 50 or 100 ppm at a time. Keep doing so until you notice the first signs of nute stress, which is yellowing on the tips and leaf edges, then back it off 50 or 100 ppm. Make sure you take special note of the recipes, so you only have to go through it once. It's kind of a pain.

And Cyclonite is correct. You should start seeing signs of stress in about 24 hours, give or take.

Done correctly, this set up is one of the highest yielders. Let me clarify what I meant about little water. In my opinion the best way to superfast growth and healthy plants is to supply the roots with as much oxygen as possible. This means that no matter what your setup, soil, soilless, hydro or whatever, you do not want your roots sitting in water. MJ is not a marsh or pond Rating: 5
