GMSgrowsanswered grow question 2 years ago Water until you see water coming out of the planter. Collect the first bit of water, check the ph and get make sure its at the proper reading for the substrate your using. Also check the ec of the same water and make sure the proper amounts of feed are there for your type of substrate. All I can say when there is no diary to see how you grow and what your providing to the plants. Cheers
