queries on nutrient solution
by: praveen

Dear jason,
I really appreciate what you are doing. This site is a lot of help to people like me (beginners).
I have been experimenting with hydroponics for the last 8 months. Stillhavent got the nutrient solution mix right.
I bought grow/ bloom/ root/ CaNo3/ Mgso4 off the shelf. The recommended dosage for general vegetables was for 30 ltrs of water- 1 Teespoon of Grow / >1.1/4 teespoon of CaNo3 and <3/4 teespoon of MgSo4. The solution works OK but i am not satisfied. When i checked the ppm of my solution after mixing as recommended it is always below 500 ppm. But from what i have read the recommended ppm for tomatoes is 1600-2400ppm. The ppm of my well water is only 85 ppm.
So how muchand in what amount must i add the nutrients to get the desired results. Please advice.
Brgds
