When should I starting to use nutrients?
thymewandererstarted grow question 4 years ago
I just put the her into the soil. When should I start to use the nutrient? I fear I might overdose the nutrients and accidentally murder my own daughter due the soil are already rich with nutrients (tested TDS 700 PPM with 200 PPM water that oozed out of the bottom of the pot.

I would hold off on nutrients for now, especially if the soil is already rich. I would wait until the plant at least sprouts and you see green. Even then, seedlings don't require a lot of nutrients because they are more focused on developing their roots, and it will get what it needs from the soil. I would only water gently, and then start introducing nutrients once it has at least 2-4 sets of leaves. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Wait till slight yellowing in the leaves. Or wait at least until week 2 after seedling has popped.

If your soil is that rich you might be in for a problem soon. If your soil was not rich normally starting nutrition about day 10 to 14 from sprout. Then it is very very light amounts. Like a few drops. Your ph is important as well. Not just the ppm. Slightly acidic is key. 5.8 for hydro, 6.4 for soil roughly. Each substrate has different requirements. Good luck and happy growing 🍻

Nutrients bottle lid ideas, please?Hey there growers. Could someone recommend an alternative to the terrible bottle lids that nutrient bottles come with?
I use primarily Advanced Nutrients in 1L bottles and every feeding I say to myself I need to find an alternative - they leak no matter how tight I seal them.Feeding. Other

Autoflower PPM Requirements - DWCI have found this plant's water/nutrient intake is equal at 350ppm right now - end week 5. I am beginning to feel after several auto grows that the ppm requirement with GH nutrients is WAY less than what the web serves up? I doubt I can push this one beyond 500ppm? (0ppm water)Week 5

How early do you normally start feeding? Currently growing only autos. Have had great results with my grows so far, but always room for inprovement.I typically wait 4-6 weeks before I start adding any sort of nutrients as I used Fox Farms Happy Frog for my grows. How early do you start feeding? I have Micro, Grow, Bloom, Calnesium, Carbo Blast and all three of the bloom nutes which are irrelevant to my question

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.Feeding. Other

Added to much Calmag on my first feedingDid my first feeding today- of course I fouled it up. I added 3 tsps of CalMag to the gallon of water - rather than the 1/2 a tsp I decided on. I mixed the Calmag with Grow Big and Big Bloom- how bad was this error? Thanks in advance for some feedback.Feeding. Other

EC going up daily during the day - Hydro recirculating systemWould anyone have an idea why the ec in my tank goes up every day of the plant, like 7 or 8 hours after the lights are on ? Evaporation ? The plants eat more at this time of the day ? Overfeeding ? Got a small 20L tank and a tight space. Thx !
