Do your self a favor don't mix brands and nutrition. Some stuff don't agree with other stuff. Chemical reactions etc. Equals
Dead plants. So when you mix you gamble basically. So when people use all one brand it's not a loyalty thing it's just there is a science in all the Chemicals good luck 🌱

I would just use the fox farm trio. Its immediately available nutrients to the plants. Just dose lower than recommended. You will usually only need half dose of what the schedule says. I try to keep my feed as simple as possible. The trio is simple and complete. Mixing a lot of different nutrients can cause issues.

Depending on soil you may not need nutrients for a few weeks, top dress with gaia, then in 3-5 weeks start adding the nutrients

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 questionFeeding. Schedule

7,5 and 12,5lt - 2 weeks, max 3 weeks. Thinking of switching to plain water or give overdrive one more week then switch to plain water
12,5 stretched one - 3 weeks. Add nutes for another week, then switch to plain water

Orange leaves getting worseWhat the fuck is going on with this plant? I spotted some nute burn last week so I got advice off here and flushed it out. Once it needed watered again I went with half the recommended nute dosage and now it looks like it’s getting worse. What the hell can I do?Leaves. Curl up

EC - in: 1.15 -> out: 1.27
And now? what this mean?Week 9

When using ffof soil that says it has a pH of 6.3-6.8 is it still necessary to pH my water when using nutrients?This may be a stupid question but w ffof it says the soil is already pH 6.3-6.8 so my question is do I still need to pH my water when using or not using nutrients or is there no need to because the soil is already the correct pH?Setup.
