How To Use Progressive Web App aka PWA On 420 Magazine Forum

I was going by what I read which is keep it between 6.0 and 7.0
Are you going to get a TDS pen to watch the solids ? Plant that size probably 300 ppm .
When on the blue lab site reading about my meter they consider EC a conversation piece. I know of the different scales which I use the Hanna scale 500 . I produce this scale from 420 to help them out so no confusion at all.Hi @Premiumbudzblondie ,
It looks like you're off to a good start, and remember we want you to say "MY Harvests are Maximum Yield Harvests!"
Did you prepare your coco properly with a pH 5.8 flush of Cal-Mag before you planted your seeds?
Doing this is very important!
Yes, please get your pH down to around 5.8 for a coco grow. The pH 6.0 to 7.0 range is for soil.
I would suggest you mix up a 3 gallon bucket of feed at pH 5.8 tonight to correct your medium's pH.
Just an FYI, @Old Salt and I are spearheading a campaign to encourage growers here at 420 to use the universal measurement of EC (Electrical Conductivity) so we can help them better. The ppm measurement is simply way too confusing and makes diagnosing pH issues too complicated. Thanks for your cooperation
ppm
Here's a snippet from an article I recently wrote:
We choose to use an EC [Electrical Conductivity (µS/cm)] value because it is the universally accepted measurement for nutrient strength.
Note: Unfortunately, utilizing a ppm value is too confusing because of the varying scales used by different TDS pen manufacturers:
500 or NaCl (sodium chloride) scale550 or KCl (potassium chloride) scale640 or dimensionless scale for the European market700 or dimensionless scale for the Australian market
Actually, I am just finishing up using my Advanced Nutrients coco products because they are ridiculously expensive, and I am transitioning to MegaCrop.
I would suggest you switch over to Green Leaf Nutrients MegaCrop when you run out of Advanced Nutrients products. You can get a free sample from them online from their website. And there is a great MegaCrop crew here to support you when you do.

Thank you and welcome. The more the merrier because I'm clueless what I'm doingThanks for the add.
I’d like to get @Backlipslide in here for multiple reasons. He’s an excellent coco grower,He’s got a great how to make a signature link in his profile and he’s my buddy lol
@West Hippie has been giving great advice so far as usual.
Wow alot of awesome information thank you, I didnt properly buffer my coco which is probably why I had alot of issues in the beginning, I just made a new water/feed schedule and plan. I'm gonna see how it works over the course of a few weeks. All input and advice is welcome. Thank you for following along and supporting me in my first grow. I will have to look at that line as I was about to switch to technaflora after the AN was gone.When on the blue lab site reading about my meter they consider EC a conversation piece.

That looks very nice , I am anxious to start LST!!!It looks like you can start your LST soon if you want - here's a few great pics from @Preston9mm (he grows in coco too if you want to follow his journal) :
Have you been through the sponsors?I am waiting for my tax return to beable to purchase a good setup and equipment/gadgets. I have a good setup in mind but also open to recommendations and advice.
Thank you and welcome. The more the merrier because I'm clueless what I'm doing
No what's thatHave you been through the sponsors?
I am watching a few, two different techniques but both seem to work very wellHave you found a coco journal here at 420 you can study and learn from yet?
Have one in my signature and at the top of the page the hamburger block on the left .No what's that
