I ran things to 1600 before and got nervous and dialed it down. In coco some plants take 1400 with just the slightest tip burn and some really hate it.
I really try to stick to 1000 to 1300 for all bloom. RO water to 10
Or if i use tap water i adjust to end up 1000 to 1300.
My problems were....NITROGEN. I am trying different ratios of masterblend now and am taking notes so i end up where i need to.
per 5 gallon bottle (Tomato/Epsom salts/Calnit)
12 6 12 is recomended...comes out at 1200 TDS
18 8 8 is what i tried for week 6 to 7 of flower (lots in that range) and that came out at 1400.
16 8 4 is what i will try next...i think that should be a good bloom formula and stop the corkscrewing foxtailing nitrogin crap. I would guess this will end up around 1100 to1200 tds and should work for almost everything.
For veg...MC for now its working great.
The soil pots...i now just get tap water 50 50 with RO...add 15 ml of dynagrow and use that (800 TDS)
