Mine gets yellow/orange once in a while - I attribute it to the amount of iron in my water... nothing to worry about!

It's normal, with the soil and nutrients it starts taking on that color!

You can start applying a little bit of fertilizer to the plant; it needs nutrition.

Is my PPM level good?
I used my TDS meter for the first time today to test the run off from watering my plants. The Bruce plants will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday. The run off came out to 1140 ppm. That’s still good right? I don’t need to start adding any nutes yet do I?

When to water after repotting in coir/pebble mix?
Repotted yesterday, gave them half strength nutrients. Took about 700-800ml before run off appeared. I presume from what I’ve read to wait until they definitely need watering again to give the roots a chance? 60/40 coir pebble mix. I’m guessing bring the nutrients up gradually?

I planted a germinated seed of "sour diesel" in a coconut disc, and the little one is already 4cm tall! Can you tell me if I need to feed it something before transplanting, or is the coconut disc as nutritious as the tofu tablets?

PK 13/14 week 10
What do you think about PK 13/14 from Canna? I will add 1ml/lt water maybe twice, the girls are supposed to be finished within two weeks but as I see they will need at least until the 10th week to be ready, are you agree? Thanks

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.

Flush duration in DWC
Okay, so here's the deal. A lot of people say that flushing should take a week or two. BUT flushing DWC could take only as little as 2 days. Is that true or does the medium really not matter at all? THX :)

DIY fertilizer - Beet and sugar beet.
Beet molasses, has anyone had experience with that beside Biobizz products ? I was thinking to make an experiment with beet, but I can't find the sugar one at my country, so would any other strain be good for that? Any comment about diy fertilizer is welcome !!
