Go slow on how much you give them. Overfeed and your harvest will suffer. A little underfed is always the best way to go for big buds. Cheers

Cal-Mag question
My general hydroponics nutrients have pretty clean & clear instructions, but the cal-mag, I’m unsure how much to use? Still just leaving the seedling stage this week, when I’m using 0.6ml/L of the GH nutrients, how much cal-mag should I use at this stage, and full on veg?

Plant does not drink nutes500ppm runoff
Why the smallest plant does not drink nutes ? The one in the video that I mention is having 500 ppm run off . What shall I do with the nutrition in order for the growth to explode like the other plants? What else I can add in this case and do I need more light for this amount?

Adding DWC nutrients during the week?
I flush & add nutrients once per week, and I can't seem to find specific info on adding additional nutrients during the week. Say I start with my basic ratio for the week, and by mid-week, the water is lower. Do I use the same ratio for 1 more gallon or just one specific nute?

Did I give too much fertilizer??
So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).
