Advice for bottom feeding please
nicksstarted grow question 4 years ago
Considering switching to bottom feeding, i think that would mitigate surface mold, any one that uses this already have some advice? I think you don't want it to soak in nutes for more than 5-10min? Feed when the pot gets light? flush 1 a week but i risk mold again

If your in fabric planters then it would be a good idea just to make sure the entire medium gets wet. Top feeding leaves dry areas in your fabric planters after they fill with roots. The top mold, algae just rough up the surface a day or two after watering. Cheers friend

I advise against bottomfeeding. May just be me, but I dont trust it. If you're mocking an ebb and flow system, you might get away with it. Too easy to overwater or underwater in my opinion.

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering
