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

what is the right method to watering the plant at the beginning? Should I put some water on the top of the net pot? Should I do nothing because there is a kind of capillarity with the clay balls?

TDS
I’m on week 6 today. Is this a good TDS reading or should it be higher/lower? I have the unit set to 500 ppm . I used 5 ml/gallon of tiger bloom, 2 ml/gallon of bud candy & big bud. I also added 1 tbsp of epsom salt to lower the ph in my soil.

Wrong pH! What to do when watering with wrong pH?
Hi you all and TIA, yesterday I watered my girls but after a few hours one of them started to get her leaves down, so I checked pH on my reservoir and it was 7.9!! So my question is what to do now? Do I wait for a few days and then water again with right pH or should I do it now?

Sick leaves, good buds
Some leaves look sick. (Last photos at 8 weeks) Is this an overdose? Do I need to fix this? From fertilizers, I apply only ripen. I plan to give it 2-3 times and then flush and harvest. I know that ripen helps to end life and makes the leaves turn yellow, but not so!

Voodoo juice for the whole grow or 2 weeks only...?
Can anyone tell me if I should use Voodoo juice for the whole grow obviously not at the end for the flush, or should I use it for the first 2 weeks only. If that is the case should i use other nutrients after I stop the Voodoo juice. And if so which nutrients do you recommend?

I’ve been flushing for 2 weeks. At what TDS runoff level do you harvest the plant?
I’ve been flushing my plant with properly pH’ed water for the last 2 weeks. Today the TDS runoff was 530 ppm. What is the appropriate TDS level to reach BEFORE harvesting the plant? What is a good TDS runoff level to determine if it’s good to harvest or not?
