For a plant this size .... YES. Mine aren't even this big and they need 500 ml of water every other day sometimes every day. They tend to want more water once they start to flower, but as a few weeks pass it will slow down.

Ppm on first feed high!
A bit confused so I’m in week 2 on my 2 plants and I fed them once (half dose each) so it can ease into the feed ! But my ppm is reading 800 already! I read you want 300-450 for first half veg what should I do to bring it down safely or will it fix itself just watering over days?

Liquid Oxygen
Would you all use this in your water when trying to give oxygen to the roots? I’m noticing some really dense, not drying up that quickly soil so it’s making me think that they can’t breath. I don’t know, just making sure every part of the plant is happy & healthy.

Minor compost tea - how long will it keep
I have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasn’t thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.

Why is my run off high?
Coco and clay pebbles run off water reading 7.1 and my water going in is at 5.8. How do I fix it? I water twice a day with at least 20% run off every time. Should I water more often? Or do a flush to bring the pH back down. I know it should be the same going in and out.

runoff PPM elevated, how does this approach sound...
Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input, does this sound like an ok idea?

Watering a seedling
Hey, I learned that when watering you need to water until there ~20% runoff but I watered little at a time during 30 minutes or so and gave about 3-4L of plain water before runoff and even if two leaves have popped I'm worried. Is this normal ?

Canna nutrient growers: Has anyone tried any other brand PK boosters after Canna's prescribed 1 week PK? If so, which brand boosters have you had success or bad experience with? I'm thinking about doing a quick flush+2-3 weeks Atami Bloombastic after the 1 week CannaPK. Thx!

Hydro - Ec stable, Ph dropping - Raise EC instead of lowering it ?
I have the feeling that when there's not a lot of nutes, PH drops but it means I have to add EC, not lower it. I noticed this when I fed them with a very low EC. I added more EC and they ate a lot right away. What did you experience ? Has to do with them eating all cal-mag ? THX

Overfeeding?
Is this the first sign of nutrients burn? Some tips of the leaves are turning yellowish and two leaves are starting to make dark dots...maybe too much nitrogen? 🤔The temperatures in my grow box are a little bit low, but I don't think it's the case. The ph is regular.

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?

How long can I keep a mix in this tank. I must admit it does not smell good. The mixture smells so bad after a day or two and does it affect the plants in any way?
