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 ๐๐ฑ

Opinions please!! Reviews on Rock Resinator nutrients ?? Anyone used it, does it make a difference to bud density. Iโve been gifted some and have since found out how expensive it is.. Should I believe the hype on this Product? Also heard some rumours itโs bad for you? Any advice?

Canna Coco A
Recommended mix ratio for Canna Coco A & B is 1:1 throughout a grow. Combined NPK is 5:4:3 (A: 4-0-1 & B: 0-4-2). Is it beneficial to change the mix ratio in flowering stage to lower the nitrogen component? (for example; 1 part A & 2 parts B)

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.

My EC is higher then recommended or I'm reading it wrong. I have been told to add water to my reservoir to lower EC, yet with my well water the EC is already high. Can someone help enlighten me? Using a hydroponic circulating system (DWC with a top feed).
