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

PPM. 6/6,5 PH waterings or too frequent waterings?
I just had a long ass session in my tent, because of increasingly higher PPM. Coco in 10gal, is every day irrigation too much? Should be said that the pot is nowhere near dry after 24hrs. Or my initial idea, 6,5 PH every other watering being too high leading to lockout? Thankss

Coco grow, runoff EC levels LOWER than input levels. Hungry plants or something more sinister?
Since getting a better light, runoff EC has been dropping steadily, and is now LOWER than input (~ -75 micros below). Not just an anomaly, this has been every feed for 3 days and is predictable. Could my plants be asking for more food in response to the growth from the new light?

Nutrients - Too early for quarter/third strength?
Hi 420 Family. Quick question: Would it be too early to give them quarter/third strength nutes at this stage? About 2.5 weeks old (since they broke soil).

Feed more nutrients or start flushing?
Should I keep feeding bloom nutrients or is this plant close enough to start feeding only regular PH'd water?

Yellowing leaves/slow growth week 1-2
What would you recommend as the course of action for these girls? I need them to recover quick.... My thoughts are some root tonic? Since giving them last round of nutes, I've just been giving water and recovery is so slow, girls are barely moving....

Feeding After Trauma Question
I will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think. Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx 😊

High ppm in organic coco
So I’m growing with organic nutrients blended into the coco. My runoff ppm is over 4500 but plants aren’t showing any signs of lockout. Should I be worried? How can I drop the ppm of the coco runoff?

PH measuring for Organic Growers
If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.

Watering a auto seedling properly.
If you have a seedling 1 week old in a 3 gal pot how do you water I hear watering till run off but wouldn't that be to much as the roots haven't reached the bottom yet? I also se people making a small circle around the seedling or others using spray bottles. I tend to over water.

Ph and ec in batmix??
Most of the people here telling me that i should regulate ph and ec when growing in soil (batmix) But on plagron website: Should I adjust the pH and EC values if I grow with Batmix? No, combined with our 100% NATURAL Grow Style you don't have to regulate the pH and EC value
