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

Calculating Proper Runoff Numbers
Before I watered plants today the Ph was 6.0 and 1,000 ppm. I added nutrient solution of 6.2 and 1,000 ppm to each plant until runoff. Runoffs were 1,300 to 1,700 range. Ph was 5.9. Is this in the ballpark. If I add 1,000 ppm to existing 1,000 ppm and get less is that right?

Weekly flushes to reduce EC?
I’m in week 5-6 flower and feeding quite heavily. My hydro shop bloke advised feeding heavy based on the feed chart and then reducing the ec to 1 or less than 1.0 weekly before making changes to the ec based on the chart. Is this plausible?

Friends, help me understand what the problem of the plant is!!
I can not understand that with plants different tips come most people think that the problem is nitrogen! Others say it's zinc or cal-mag! I can't decide how to properly help the plant! I also thought maybe it's too much blowing inside the box!?

First leaves curved ?
On Purple Lemonade and Six Shooter the leaves develop a bit slower, but that's okay I guess. But the first leaves are all curved, is that a problem?

Transitional flush and its effect on beneficial colonies.
If one is growing in Coco, and using bennies (Mammoth P, Great White), would a flush during transition be detrimental to those colonies, or would it be an irrelevant variable? (Sorry, I have 2 questions just sitting here, might as well use them.)

Help me avoid over/underwatering my girls..
Almost done with 1st week, watering my girls 50-60ml each, once a day in 2L pots. It's 28C (80F), humidity around 65. I check the soil (1inch deep) but still feels a little wet even after one day.(despite little water and 80F) Should I still water them as they are still seedling?
