I've got a question for you pros out there.
I just got my first ppm meter and tested my well water. It's 580 in the house, 475 from fridge filter, and straight from the hose outside 608! I cannot go RO system with my ghetto grow system so what's a guy to do?
My question is do I compensate for these numbers when adding nutes? Say... if I should have a nute ppm of 1000 am I ending up with 1608 with my hose water? Other additives call for a solution of say 150 ppm. Do I take the previous ppm of 1608 and run it up to 1758 (adding the 150 ppm additive)?
Please help. Common sense is getting in my way.
