Hey guys,


After some experimentation and some failures I've come to the conclusion that I could be measuring PPM levels completely incorrectly.... My main question being this... should I be checking the PPM levels after the initial veg/bloom nutrient is added and before the others are added (liquid karma, humex, Sweet etc)... The reason being is I am finding extremely hard to keep the PPm levels between 400-500ppm during the early veg stage without severely cutting back on all things I add.. so it's leading me to wonder that I should be adding the food nutrient... checking the PPM level.. getting it right and then adding everything else..

example --

If I use 1/4 strength of everything

Dyngro Veg
Liquid Karma
Sweet
Humex

the total ppm comes out to about 600 with 2.5 gallons of water in my dwc.. However I feel like I could be severely limiting the plant from the Dyna grow supplement due to this..

So should I ...


Add the 2.5 gallons of water, then add the Dyna Grow... take the PPM reading and measure it to about 4-500.. and then add all of the additional additives?

I'm noticing that stuff like sweet is 0-0-0 and liquid karma is .1-.1-.5 however they do raise the overall PPm levels... but they shouldn't be adding any stress the to the plants right? or am I completely wrong here?


Thanks in advance for your responses as I'm truly confused now..
