Since you're using a soil-less medium, that does have some start-up nutrients in it I would start feeding them after day 10 by then they'll be ready and start with about 1/4 strength.

Depending upon your substrate really. If in coco day 7 to 10. If in soil 2 to 4 weeks. Just Depending on how much is already in it.

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 :)

EC madness!!!!
About EC. Er...confusing eh? So, if I feed with 1200 and it comes out 2000, I need to lower the feed until it comes out 1600? And if I feed at 1200 and it comes out at 1400 I can increase? Right? Is the whole point of this to give the plant as much feed as she can take?

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant? It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better. Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode. I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more. Help??
