xanado18started grow question 5 years ago

feeding great on a really low EC at 0.8, but i see other grows at pushing 1.5 at the same week. im flooding (Oxygen Pot w/ hydroton) every 4 hours, which feels pretty often. are the amount of floods proportionate to the EC? ex. if i flood less then my ec should be set higher?

Flooding every 4 hours seems excessive, I would reduce the frequency to every 6 hours initially and assess the how the plants look at that point with your current EC, Keep in mine even though other grows are at the same week with a higher EC those plants could require different nutrient needs or can even tolerate higher nutrient needs than yours. Overall your plants look healthy and green, they are a little droopy but that might be resolved if you change the water frequency

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?

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm
