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 👍🌱

Hi Growers. I happen to use this product in a kitchen that I run. Its used to preserve palm oil. Do you think this can be used for the plants? It contains magnesium silicate.

Nutrients
I’m using fox farm nutrients. How much do I use & do I pour it in my water? Do I ph balance my water after I’ve added it if so? Can I mist nutrients over the leaves or is it only for the soil ? Last, when do I switch from grow big to the others ?

Does anyone use Holi Moli Juice? I currently use General Hydroponics Flora Series and considering switching. Any considerations I should make before switching? Or perhaps don't fix what isn't broken? lol, let me know 😊👏

AN SensI Grow / Bloom A+B interchangeable?
Looks like I’ll run out of Bloom at some point and I have lots of Grow left so wondering: Since part A is 3-0-0 for grow and bloom, are they interchangeable? Could I almost double up Grow B and get a Bloom B? 1-2-6 vs 2-4-8 I’m feeding at half mix rates anyways. Or bad idea? TIA

Ensuring nutrient solution isn't too strong for coco
Is there a way I can make sure my nutrient solution isn't too strong while I save for an EC meter? Should I just go off CANNA's chart and use the lower values? If anybody could point me in the right direction or show me a good canna coco chart that has worked for them, please do!

How do stop or slow down coco coir pH from rising?
I'm struggling to keep the pH of my coco coir/pumice mix from rising. I always use ph down to get nutrient going in at 5.5, and the run off water is always 6.5+, and leaves start yellowing/dying when pH reaches 6.8. It doesn't swing, always up.

Salt nutrients
Hi folks! I can get my hands on Yara Calcinit 15.5-0-0 and a base salt with 6-18-36+3MgO. Does the MgO make the epsom salt redundant? And what are the NPK ratio's I'm aiming for during veg and flower? I have seen and read so many numbers, not sure what to believe anymore. Thanks!
