Question about FF nutes and feeding/ppm

Hey guys I know most people start out at 1/4-1/2 strength so if I'm following the fox farm feeding schedule for hydro (I'm using a bubbler) do I only do 1/4 of the ppm it says? Or do I follow the ppm?

always better to be safe than sorry.I would start off with 1/4 stregth and watch them.If the growth is slow or leaves start to yellow add more nutes.If i might make a suggestion go and buy an ec meter.With an ec meter you will be able to see how much nutes your plants are taking up.if ec climbs too much nutrients.If the ec drops not enough nutes.if the ec stays pretty steady, equalibrium(perfect)

watch your ppm's. start slow. Your plants will tell you what they like. I usually start with B1 green foliar spray @ 60-80 ppm during seedling and then start my veg off around 600 - 800 ppm but that all depends on the strain.

The best thing to use is a root stimulator or a feed with a low NPK, Canna start and rhizotonic are good examples.

Then move on to quarter strength and build you way up. If you dont want to make things to complicated then yeah just start off on quarter strength.

NEVER EVER EVER FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES ON THE BOTTLE IT WILL FUCK UP YOUR PLANT!!
