Interesting and very newbie discovery for this second year grower.
My TDS meter has a x10 indicator for surpassing 1,000ppm. I’ve used this broad range TDS meter for over 10 years for various things, but mostly seeing my tap water baselines.
I mixed another round of the bloom foliar, same recipe I applied last time, but upped the Potassium sulfate and added humic acid. Taking a measurement because it looked and smelled strong: I saw the x10 for the first time peeking out the edge of the lcd area. It was half hidden by the overlay!!
I froze, then my mind raced.
After changing the TDS meter batteries, I measures RODI, and my tapwater. 02ppm and 90ppm respectively
Then I started measuring dose by dose, ingredient by ingredient.
So what I thought was 600ppm last foliar feed was 6,000ppm
Which is a testament to the Max Sea brand, kelp based and gentle: this is what we foliar feed carnivorous plants. The vine loved it and so did the fruit, thank goodness that mistake wont cost me, so Ill scale back I must be mindful that the high end ppm limit the vine can take is still out there.. waiting to be discovered.
