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🌱👍

Thoughts on providing enough nutrients in the soil for the plant to uptake as needed; rather than feeding while watering? According to Ed Rosenthal if you start with a rich enough medium, you don't have to feed. This is my current method, as I am still a noob. Gracias friends.

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?
Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)

Can you fertigate every other watering in coco coir?
I'm using coco for the first time. One site says to fertigate every watering and to keep the coco wet. On my soil grows I fertigate every other watering. Can I go every other one with coco, why or why not? The reason is these nutrients are kind of expensive and are going fast.
