Never tried that or know about it but I do know your vegging NPK ratio is 3-1-2. In flowering your NPK ratio is 1-2-3. This is the basics of npk ratio, and stage of plant. I personally don't use soil. Growth rate is slow, and yield is small compared to other methods. Only advantage is better flavor. Good luck and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Runnoff measuring results are not what I expected.Hello, I have a question. When you look at my diary, I find my runnoff measurments to be concerning. Why do you think my PPM is so high and my pH so low? How do I measure my runnoff correctly? Do I filter it before reading or do I let it wait?

Root Booster Terra Aquatica how to use it?my question is how much to water in ml at these stages with root booster, and is it worth alternating this booster with regular watering? The instructions say to add 2ml per 10 liters of water, or 2 drops per liter of water. and maybe it can be used not twice per grow?

Which fertilizer should be used in the early flowering stage?There is an autoflower plant that has just started to bloom. I water twice a week, one with fertilizer and one without fertilizer. Do you think it should be switched to bloom fertilizer at this stage, or should grow fertilizer be given for another week since it is still growing?

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
