ph levels week 4/5 flowering

i cant edit my post. i did a lot of reading last night and i found out what the ppm does. are you supposed to start low and slowly move it up as the plant gets bigger?

I'm not sure why but you really think about feeding your plants more than anything else. If you want to feed your plants more, don't use Fox Farm Ocean Forest. There is plenty of food in there. The nutrient and grow shop industry has made you think that you need to add so many things or your plants just won't be right. Your soil has 1850 PPM of food in it already without adding anything at all. If you transplant every 2-3 weeks, you won't have to feed anything for 6 weeks. Your VEG nutrients are in your FFOF Soil. Your Bloom nutrients are also in your FFOF Soil. Every nutrient that you need to produce top of the line flowers are already in your FFOF Soil. I've been using this soil since 1999 and have never stopped. I love it. It's so easy as long as you don't think that you have to add nutrients. The only time that you will have to add nutrients is 2 weeks into Flower. Then you add nutrients every 2 weeks and you are all good. There are many forms of PPM meters and they all have different conversions for no good reason. So that means that 700PPM with my meter isn't the same as 700PPM with your meter. It varies by company and conversion that you use. No matter what conversion that you use, you would never go over 1400PPM or 2 EC.

This is a Chem4 x Sour Diesel in a 4 Gallon Pot of FFOF Soil which barely got fed anything the entire grow. There was over 4 ounces on this plant:

okay i understand this a lot more now. but since the ocean forest soil has such a high ppm isnt that bad to use in early stages of veg? if i got a clone and transplanted it into ocean forest wouldnt the ppm be way to high? how would you lower the ppm since i should never go over 1400 and it starts at 1850?

It's different because it is organic. If you read all my posts in your thread you would see that I said that all my rooted clones go into it. You just have to add at least 1 part perlite to 3 parts FFOF. Seeds don't go in FFOF, they go in Fox Farm Light Warrior.

The flavors are amazing when you barely feed. Here's another strain for you in FFOF with barely any nutes:

so for the next grow should i just transplant clones in rockwool to 1 gallon pots to 3 gallon pots? i am going to veg for 1 month then flower, all i have to do is check the run off ph and make sure that there is no nutrient lockouts?

In this thread I am explaining MOMs but it's the same with all stages of growth. This thread explains exactly how I do it:

I have some really good guides. Some of them are in my signature and some of them you have to search for. They usually start with "Snype's Guide To". My cloning guide will really help you.

A little help please

Been trying to get a handle on the whole ph thing. Is it a fact that you can't adjust the ph of your soil with the ph of your water? I have been watering with 6.5 from the beginning and my soil "happy frog" seems to stay at over 7 if I am reading the probe tester I have stuck in the container correctly. I am feeding two times a week with water in between. The end result is good if I don't pay attention to the slight burn on big leaf edges but I am hopefull I can do better. Suggestions?
