what nutes at what strenth shoud i use for my 25 day old plants?

Early Vegging to full I'd sat at 400-600 PPM, got to have a PPM instrument to detect the nute amount.
Add your FM Grow in cap fulls till it reaches that amount about.
This is a very low amount considering tap water is about 225 PPM

I'm in final the weeks at 1000-1600

Early Vegging 300 to 400

Full Vegetation 450 to 700

Early Blooming 750 to 950

Full Mature Blooms 1000 to 1600

here is another question I had. When you have hard water do you add the ppms to that? like if the water is 250ppm outta the tap are you going to go to 300-400ppms total for early veg or you going to add 300-400 to the existing 250?

So check it out, I use clean water with a ppm of about 5. Real clean. So what am I going to do first? Add Mg to the water? Add just nutes? So I bring the overall ppms from 5 to 300-400. Do I water them with that the whole time? Does it matter what the output of the potwater is?

Getting the PPM is done with the nutes increased amounts, I know that I have to add three times as much when i first feed the plants and to get the PPM up higher for the stage the plant is in.
Your cleaner water in an advantage for it's Ph

so if your water is has 250 ppms in it do you bring it to 300ppm total or do you add 300 to the 250? so if you start at 250 and want to get to 300 do you add only 50? then the other 250 is not nutes.

thanks for that answer. I get it now. You want to maintain the amount of nutes in the soil right? so at first you need to get it to that point then keep it there.
