Hey all! Just started this girl on nutes a few days ago using RO water and thinking I didn't add enough Calmag (requirement with ro water). I only used 1/4 the recommended dose. Is this a calcium deficiency? If so, should I increase to 1/2 the recommended dose of calmag, or shoot for closer to...

I'm re-reading thru your messages this morning and just noticed you recommended I top off the system with water than add nutes straight to the rez. Do you mean straight nute solution, not mixing the nutes together in a jug of water first then adding to rez?

This is the feeding chart for recirculating dwc (which I have) and if my math is correct it breaks down to about 1.25ml per gallon. The other feed chart is 1.8ml per gallon to reach 200-300ppm nutes. Considering I have rdwc, should I follow the 1.25ml/g and increase if ppm too low? Also the...

Hopefully your generosity (devoting time and effort to help this newbie out) rewarded you with a stringer full of fish!.. I found this feeding chart for the nutes I will be using and the light feeding section appears to mimic the ppm levels you suggested for nutes. It states that 1.8ml gallon of...

300ppm for the nutes or 300 for the combination of calmag and nutes? Sorry for the million questions I just want to make sure to get this right. And should I start at 1/4 the recommended calmag feeding chart or do you suggest I bump that up a bit?

I plan to start at 1/4 of what the feed chart recommends for nutes and calmag. My extra cautious ass will prob add 1/8 the recommended dose tomorrow and monitor the plants for 24 hours before adding the other 1/8. Wondering if I should add the calmag and nutrient mix separately to get an idea of...

Thank you man! I took a screen shot of your message to reference. You've been a huge help!

for reference, this is the feeding schedule. If you look above the mixing chart it has instructions for when using reverse osmosis water and how much calmag to add. The feeding chart for calmag decreases as the other nutrients are increased. That makes me believe my nutrients have cal and mag...

Thank you! And do I add it everytime I add more nutes? I'm running sterile (h202) and plan on only changing out the water when I flip them to flower, unless some issue arises that requires a water change. My plan is to start at 1/4 strength calmag and increase to 1/3. And increase more if plants...

My nutes are designed for hydro but they state to use calmag if using ro water. Everything I've read on using ro water states that calmag is a must unless using nutes that are designed for soft water (ro). Not sure what to think now.

So are stating I should hold off on calmag or start it when I begin nutes?

My concern is that it's required to use calmag or other alternative when using ro water as the water has no calcium or mag. And feeding chart shows that with ro water calmag should be used when starting nutes in the seedling stage. You think it's best I hold off and keep an eye out for...

I'm using reverse osmosis water which is void of calcium and mag. Should I start cal mag at 1/8 to 1/4 of the recommended dose or start with a full dose?

A couple have a few or more roots touching or in the water with more roots poking out the bottom and side of the netbaskets, while the other two have a couple roots in the water with more poking out the baskets.

Thanks for your input! It's good to hear that someone is starting nutes from day 1 with no ill effects. Your response set my mind at ease about starting nutes today. Thanks again!

Thanks man! And this goes for hydroponics as well right? My seedlings have their 4th set of leaves crowning (3rd set of true leaves). Thinking I will start at 1/8th the recommended nutrient dose and if all looks good tomorrow I will add another 1/8 to bring it to quarter strength.

Please excuse my newbie ignorance, what do you mean by crown? And when you say third set of leaves does that include the cotyledons?

Hey all! I'm currently dealing with conflicting info online and hoping you guys will guide me in the right direction. My question is regarding when to start adding nutes in rdwc? Some sites suggest starting once seedlings are 1-2 weeks old, while others state that to wait until cotyledons die...

They are all feminized seeds from barneys. They already screwed up on one seed pack and sent me the wrong strain, so if one seed turns out to be a male it's going to be a big issue.

It definately has more vigor. The web of roots came almost overnight. So, no need to be concerned that the others only have a single root with no other roots visible from the sides or bottom of the net baskets? It seems as though the taproots on those 3 just shot out the bottom and didn't branch...
