Hey Chronza,

i use a PPM meter and I still am lost figuring when to add more nutes so here is my way. Fuck my PPM meter! I properly fill my reservoir nutes and all, I wait till the plant have taken a substantial amount of water then I refill with just water. Next refill I wait 2 days so I'm down twice as much-for me thats 3 liters.. (1.5L each day). So on this 2nd day I add 1.5L of nute filled water then 1.5L of normal water. wait another 2 days then i change the reservoir. My way may use more nutes but at least I'm sure there is nothing missing at anygiven time. This is a pretty easy system for me running a DWC with no secondary refill reservoir. If your running dirt it surely is different but my principle is the same. An the principle is:
What I want to avoid is the plant ever needing anything, I want to provide every need of the plant in abundance so that it can grow optimally. If we limit or feedings to every few days MAYBE just MAYBE the plant is using one mineral faster than another so it may need it more. Not providing it MAY stunt growth.. This is not proven just my theory, proven to work in my grow...

Take whatever info is useful, throw away the rest!!!

:peace:

i use greatwhite and rootblast in my transplant mix to ensure root growth. dyna grow k-l-n, botanicare aquashield, manure (because it contains auxins), seaweed or kelp extract. the list goes on and on. you have to make that choice.

feed em good, potassium is involved in stem growth so it probably does something to the roots aswell.
