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 ✌️

EC and PH of Runoff still Higher than Solution even after a flush and lowering the ECHi, i still having this problem even after down the concentration of solution for 1/4 that scheduling feeding table says. I have some measurements listed in the week 10. Maybe my media is buffering PH and EC because i used to recycle it over times?5y ago

Efficient Nutrient Mixing?Any suggestions for efficient nutrient measurement/mixing routines? I’m currently making a stinking mess every time I pour nutrients into a cup, pull up with graduated syringe and transfer to my watering container for mixing and pH.

what EC do you feed and how often?I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.5y ago

Plant still green after flushingIt's day 8 of my flush and the plant is still green, did i mess something up? I flushed it with 10L of tap water and 5 L of ph'D water to around 6.3 pH. I measured EC of the run off and it measures the same μS of the water that went in, maybe varies here and there by 0.1μS.5y ago
