Low PPM output on feedings

[Mosaicmind9x]

Hey! Got a question about low PPM on feeding output. I’m growing in coco +perlite. She’s a photo in week 6 from sprout. I am using gen hydro flora trio line + cal mag. The feeding schedule from GH is giving me low output, how should I increase the nutes? I already increased the daily feedings to 3x daily.

Could you explain what you mean by "low output?" More than happy to help just want to make sure I know what you're asking.

Sure, according to the chart my ppm output (what passes through after feeding) i should be around 500-700 ppm, but mine is in the 300 range

Generally speaking the PPM / pH of your nutrient solution before you water is most important. Your plants all look really healthy so I don't think the PPM should be an issue. It's funny though, I've heard plenty of people have runoff PPM be much higher than the input, but never lower.

I think I heard of that too, but never in my grows so far

I quit checking runoff, just get good runoff and keep your input nutes low. Use plenty of Cal/Mag and multiple cycles, you should do fine.
