Seedling nutrients.

[Jimeeb]

Looking for opinions about using nutes for seedlings.
The water I use is ro that has ec of 0.
Lot of people saying don't use nutes aon so young of a plant, but this water is sooo pure I'm think maybe a VERY LIGHT dose of the solution I have mixed for veg.
Any thoughts? Growing in Rockwool in an aero system.

Thought about that, but I decided to just put some nutes to her. I'm at .1 ec less than 100 ppm, but I have no clue what scale my meter uses, so I just go by ec. And my tap water is at 147ppm. No idea what those parts are though, so kinda apprehensive about using it.

i use 1mL per gallon for starting seeds. dyna gro foliage pro. if it's got leaves, it needs food in hydro.

You could add tap to your RO and add nutes. Nothing . What meter are you using?
Good luck

No leaves yet friend. Just put her in yesterday. Be a day or two I suspect before she makes an appearance. But I added some nutes. I'm at .1 ec. Also growing in Rockwool, so no nutes there to begin with.

my bad. when you said seedling, that usually means some leaves.

i start my seeds with nutes if that helps

My bad. She cracked and put out a tap root yesterday. Was trying to get advice early on.. ounce of prevention and all. Should have made that more clear. I know I'm not the end all be all of growing. I'll take any and all advice I can.
Thanks for the input. Always always ALWAYS welcome and appreciated.
