Hi @Bub1972! In hydro setups, the reservoir needs to be fully changed/refreshed every week. Indeed, you can make some daily adjustments (pH up/down to stick in the right pH range) but don't change the water more than once a week, it's going to stress your babies. Now about the nutrients, you can start from week 2, once roots has developed and the seedlings are a few centimeters above the ground. I'd recommend to start with 1/4 or 1/2 of the recommended doses, then you'll see how your plants reacts and you'll be able to increase the nutrients intakes slowly but safely. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Changing the water once a week is what most do, specially if your experience with hydroponics is little to non existant. Follow a tried nute schedule and you will do fine

When growing hydroponics you should change the water and nutrients weekly. Your nutrients should have a feeding schedule for each week or each stage of development. But in hydro you should really be feeding nutrients each week until you are ready to flush before harvesting. Good luck!👍

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?

Since my light has the 3 options for Veg, Bloom or Full spectrum which would be best? Also if my room temp never climbs above 30 do I need to have fans in my grow space if I leave the door open for ten minutes every morning in the room with a small fan to let the air exchange?

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?
