No need to add it unless signs occur. I'm not sure why ghe would recommend not to use it, their products must contain it already then🌱👍

if so, why over 70-80% of growers add it? (of course growers who use ghe tripart)

More soak for more runoff for bigger pots?
I'm watering with 2l of RO/nutes every 48-72 hours, depending on moisture of soil. Estimate about 10-15% of this is runoff. I notice vigorous growth almost immediately after watering but then little more until after the next feed. Is this normal or should I be soaking heavier?

I’m still really new and get quite panicky when it comes to over/under watering my plants. Advice appreciated.
When do I add more water, currently when i poke my moisture meter in it reads dry for the first 2-3 inches, and then “moist” towards the bottom half of the pot, do I let the bottom half get dryer before adding? Using 5 gallon fabric pots with about 10” of soil in them.

soil takes 7 days to dry
soil takes 7 days to dry out.. on last feeding I tried using lower amount of water, I also drilled few holes to one flower once already.. is there something I can do about it? I think low temperatures might be reason for this and lack of perlite

When to water in coco/perlite?
How do we know when the plants need more water when grown in coco? Do I wait until the coco is completely dry up to my knuckle? (as in dig entire finger into coco up to my knuckle) or should I be watering when only the first inch or so of coco is dry?
