Total Dissolved Solids - TDS | Parts Per Million - PPM | How much? When? Orchid Care for Beginners

#TDS #PPM #Orchids
PPM the EASY WAY! I am breaking this subject down, recommending 0 - 300 PPM giving examples depending on root size, growth attributes & seasons. Trust me, I know how overwhelming it can be to delve into the subject of how much fertilizer we should apply to our orchids when we start dosing our nutrient solution using PPM.
Know that, in this video, I speak of 0 PPM of fertilizer. Please know that, it is important for you to measure how many PPM your water has before you add any fertilizer. This video only addresses fertilizers with Calcium and Magnesium as part of their composition. For additional information about supplementation, please refer to this playlist: https://cutt.ly/iQGZImk
