DWC Feeding Strategy
infecticidestarted grow question 3 years ago
I'm growing in a DWC setup.
Should the ppm be adjusted daily to keep it in the recommended range or should I feed once per week topping up the water daily instead?

Sounds like I've been massively underfeeding.
I change the res once per week and was adding nutrients then and only then.
Sometimes once more if I thought it was starving.

Top the res every two days at least. If EC has dropped, top with some premixed feed. If EC has risen, top with pH'd water. I've found this to be the best way to keep it at appropriate levels and it also seems to extend the time between total res changes.

You can change your reservoir water for new nutrient-water every one or two weeks, but in the meantime they need to have the reservoir topped off with pH'd nutrient water at 1/4 strength. Gl with the setup

Is this sign of over feeding?Few of my babies in vegetative stage are encountering this problem. Some of the leaves are showing like those in photo. My guess is overfeeding the nutrients. But before I making any decision, I want to hear some professional opinions. Nutrient feed interval is per 4 days.

Do you flush your cannabis plants before harvest?Organic soil. I asked yesterday about something flushing related. Most folks commented and said that flushing did nothing or made no notable difference. If this is the case, does everyone flush since plain water is cheapest? Thanks in advance!Week 12

Hydro - Ec Variations - how do you deal with them ? What the hell is going on in my soup ?I added a little nutes (0.1) at night, Ec went down and then up at mid day, with Ph dropping. When do you start worrying about your EC going up / Ph going down ? When EC varies more than 0.1 in 24h ? When Ph drops from 0.4 in 24h ? (here from 6.20 to 5.75 in 24h). THX !

Canna Aqua users (Hydro) : What Ec do you start with ?I usually feed them with "Canna Start" at the beginning and when they are 8-9 days old I use "Canna Aqua" with 0.8 ec (+0.3 tap water) but this time it overfed them. What's your EC when you start nutrition ?

Is it better to adjust nutrition if using soil from a previous grow?One of my grows is nearing the end and is being flushed this week ready for the chop on Saturday. Do I need to adjust the feed schedule for the next grow to account for any residual nutrients in the soil from the last grow? I am using BioBizz Light-Mix soil & full BioBizz range.

Watering: How much?I am still trying to learn and understand how watering is done optimally. I weighed my pots before watering. Is there a way to determine how much water is too much? I used 1.5lt per pot for the first watering, and I am monitoring to see if it is too little (based on drying).Feeding. Schedule

Earthbox/SIP flower nutrient delivery method7 weeks in plants seem happy. Should I top dress with dry amendments for flower now to be preemptive? Since I do not top water and use a SIP container, does top dressing even make sense when done early - or a waste? Figure they will need some P and K soon. First grow, TIA!

Minor discoloration on seedlings (nitrogen toxicity?)If anyone has advice on the middle plant, I'd hugely appreciate it. I added nutrients last Thursday (7 days ago) and I am pretty sure it was way too early. The middle plant has some discoloration on the leaves. Will avoid any more nutes until I transplant into 5 gallon smartpots.
