should i feed it? and how do you flush these 6 inch blocks if needed?

i just said you are to early to feed themany thing.. so no need to flush anything..

get a ph meter dude.. keep it neutral and u wont be buggin out over tiny ass seedlings.. if that was me i would of researched a whole lot more before planting 15 plants.. peace and good luck

got one. and also why plant 1 when you can plant 15. I am Humboldt County outdoor guy. 15 is not that many plants. LOL. This is my first indoor setup. I bought this setup to play with. I am not buggin over 15 measly plants, if they die i plant more and try again. I am just trying to figure this shit out. And I did figure it out. Nitrogen deficiency. I fed them Humboldt nutrients 25 ml. Micro, 25 ml. Grow, 25 ml. Bloom in the 40 gallon reservoir and BAMM! all 15 bitches bounced back. and i figured this out on my own. I figured it had to be some sort of deficiency due to the fact that all it was getting was water with no nutes. how the hell is it supposed to live. In soil seedlings get nutrients naturally thats why you dont have to give them nutes in the beginning. make since. I was reading people say no nutes in the begging in hydro, and i found that to be completely untrue.

The reason growth has slowed and they're showing a little droop is because they were transplanted into the 6" cubes 2-3 weeks too early. Transplanting seedlings and young plants too early will always cause young roots to become smothered (no oxogen) and overwatered. Next time, keep them in the one inch cubes for a full 17-18 days after they sprout and then watch explosive growth a few days after transplanting and moving them to an HID light. Peace
