When do you stop giving nutrients?
Pictures taken 3 weeks into flowering. Its 3.5 weeks now. Started as pretty basic potting soil, most of the nutrients im sure are gone. When do you switch to just pH corrected water to feed? Thinking 1 more week for my yellowing plants, and less for my very green one. Thoughts?

What nutrients to get?
Hi! I want to buy additional nutrients which can be used for both soil+hydro. So far I got my eyes on Ghe's Flora Micro, FloraGro, FloraBloom and Calcium Magnesium. The store also has Hesi Root-complex which I believe is good. Any other important nutrients I'm missing? Thanks!

FOAM in the DWC tank
Hi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank. I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?

Autoflower PPM Requirements - DWC
I have found this plant's water/nutrient intake is equal at 350ppm right now - end week 5. I am beginning to feel after several auto grows that the ppm requirement with GH nutrients is WAY less than what the web serves up? I doubt I can push this one beyond 500ppm? (0ppm water)
