Depends on the soil. Do you use fertilized soil?

I start with half strength fox farm around this time. Quarter strength if you are very worried as others have mentioned.

You can start feeding your plants after the first 14 with a light dose of nutrients ph to specs . Hope that helps and good luck to you

You can start the nutrients but, at the beginning, 1/4 of the recommended dose, then gradually increase according to the reaction of the plant. Good culture ✌️

Will excessively aerating and circulation change the PH?
I have a reservoir which holds my nutrients until they need to be used. Recently I had added in a pump for circulation in addition to my air stone. Since then my solution has been rising to over 7 within a few hours. I adjust back down and it goes back up again? What the heck?

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?

Very old Ata Bloombastic
I own a very old (around 8 years) bottle of Ata Bloombastic. It should not expire, but it looks dark brown and dense (seriously, it looks like liquid s**t but still smells good) but on commercials it appears to be more green than brown. Should I risk it or change it?

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHE
Hi everyone, I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black. I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation. Thanks

Coco grow, runoff EC levels LOWER than input levels. Hungry plants or something more sinister?
Since getting a better light, runoff EC has been dropping steadily, and is now LOWER than input (~ -75 micros below). Not just an anomaly, this has been every feed for 3 days and is predictable. Could my plants be asking for more food in response to the growth from the new light?

Soilless PH window specific peat/coco/perlite mix
Ok I need the nail in the coffin guys. I’m using Fafard Root Factory RF C8. Picture shows ingredients. What is my ideal PH window for this type of mix? I’m also about to transplant. I normally just fill a pot, sprinkle Dynomyco, drop plant, fill in and water. Is this correct?
