I would start using nutes at this stage. But it depends on your soil mix too. I water every 2 to 3 days. And feed, feed, feed, water, water etc. Or something similar, don't nute them every time though. 🌱👍

Probably time to start notes. I always start using 1/4 to 1/3 the recommended amount. It's easier to add more if you need to.

Is Top-fed DWC schedule ok?
Ive set 5minute schedule topfed DWC to avoid keeping the roots too soggy. My soil is made of 8 rockwool attached together to form a bigger cube and 1 rockwool on top where I placed the initial seed, to protect the roots. What you think? Are roots ok or too small?

Fertilizer conundrum
Should I use fertilizer with every watering or every other? I use biobizz bio-Grow and my girls are close to flowering. Also during flowering I use bio-Grow plus bio-bloom or just bloom? I have auto flowering strains.

Canna Aqua users (Hydro) : What Ec do you start with ?
I usually feed them with "Canna Start" at the beginning and when they are 8-9 days old I use "Canna Aqua" with 0.8 ec (+0.3 tap water) but this time it overfed them. What's your EC when you start nutrition ?

Substrate moisture retention
Worried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?
