When to introduce nutrients?
Would now be the correct time to start adding nutrients to the medium? Just don't want to introduce them too early to avoid burning the plant.

Canna boost and autopots
HI! I have a question regarding Canna Boost and autopots. Do you use it in a reservoir? The ph is rising faster in res since I added it. The nutrient solution in res also got cloudy and trays became slimy. Since I use airdromes the ph also rised too much.
