That is correct. I was balancing the PH around 6.5, then read that coco does better at 5.8-6.1...so I corrected to that. Thanks for reminding me though...a lot has happened in the past week and I forget . But I am glad to know that even a fluctuation of .6 can make an impact. Still new to this "science" and how it all relates to one another.

Awesome, don't even know where to begin on that on LOL, but I'll figure it out. I have no problem with homework. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

That's sort of what I was thinking, and hoping.

I had been, through this whole grow up untill feeding them on sunday, using tap water that has a PPM level of 700. So at the time I filled out the form, yes I was using tap, and only used distilled once to feed(sunday), and a small amount mixed with tap on monday. The first flush I read the runoff at 1400, by the end of the second got it in the high 600's to high 700' depending on the plant. So knowing that I will never get the PPM below 600 using tap water, decided to use distilled for feeding only since tap plus nutes would bring the PPM to 1k or more. I still haven't been able to find a recommended PPM level for coco and the nutes I'm using. For all I know 1400 might be ok, and using 700PPM tap with nutes might still be ok. I don't know. I posted a tapwater thread...here...in the indoor growing section and it was suggested that 600 was high for cloning. Well I'm not now and don't plan on cloning. At this point I'm guessing on what the right PPM is for my setup. I know guessing isn't the right way to do it, but I can't find the right way so I'm going off cumulative reports of other growers and their methods. I've read anywhere between 600 and 1100 is good for flowering. Considering their state at the time, I didn't want to blast them with nutes to bring them up to 1k, kinda wanted to ease them back into the feeding if that makes sense.

Sorry for the confusion regarding tap/distilled Phatesh. But yes, I watered with distilled/nutes once on Sunday, and a small amount of the remaining mix with 2gallons of tap on monday night. PPM runoff Monday was 560...I did nothing last night and planning on water with plain tap tonight. I will update the form to state that I am now using tap for normal watering, and distilled with the nute mix(if I can edit that post). Unless I am able to find some solid PPM info.

Hopefully this all makes sense and I'm not annoying anyone too much LOL. If I am, I understand. Trying to keep these questions to a minimum, but am doing research between postings.

Thanks everyone!
