GROW INFORMATION: My grows consists many different strains from seeds in a large rubbermaid container, 60gal whisper fish pump, 4 large netty pots filled with large rock wool cubes, 500watts of 6500k florescents for veg and a 400watt hps for flowering. i veg in one closet and flower in a second closet. im using advanced nutrients grow, micro and bloom. i also use a MH ppm meter and grotek ph tester strips. ph is between 5.5 and 6.0
questions:
1) should i soak the rock wool in any nutrient solution, if so how much of the grow micro and bloom?
2) 1st week of flowering. my rubbermaid container filled to the bottom of the netty pots are about 30L of water...the instructions on the back of my advanced nutrients says 1.82ml/L...1.82x30=54.6ml per liter. it says it should have a ppm of 1000 (mild flowering) but when i add the nutrients my ppm meter reads 763ppm. do i add more nutrients until my ppm meter reads 1000 or do i just follow how much the instructions tell me to add per liter?
3) in a few weeks when the roots touch the water in the reservoir should i have 1/4 strength grow micro and bloom or just grow and micro?
4) my plants are now in 2nd week of flowering 12/12. say 970ppm. the water in my reservoir goes down about 4 litres every day. do i add back 4 litres of water or do i add nutrients in with it?
5)after mild flowering it says add 2.70ml/L and says 1200ppm. how do much should nutrients should i add...do i add small amounts and slowly raise or do i just add the amount it says all at once. after i add the amount of nutrients it says and my ppm meter isnt reading 1200 what do i do?
6) does adding water staright from a tap hurt the plants...or do i have to leave it over night in a bucket?
