Am I right waiting longer until feeding for the first time? I heard overfeeding your soil can be very harmful to the roots.

Now is about the time you'll want to add some base nutes. Always start with the lowest dose or 1/2 strength 👍🌱

Water vs Nutrients
I eventually would like to start adding nutrients to her feedings and wanted to know does it matter what type of water the nutrients are added to, for example: distilled, tap, RO? Or is it just the pH of the water that is important?

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?
Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like. I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c
Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.
And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

FloraKleen during flower
Coco grow. Almost 6 weeks into flower. Plants are healthy. EC of drain last few days has been high: 2.5 to 3.0. I fertigate daily, EC 1.8. Before, EC of runoff was never higher than 2.0. Can I do a small flush with FloraKleen and then fertigate with regular solution? Any Risks?
