Unfortunately my tds meter got set back on delivery the question is should I wait to feed until it comes or should I dilute the nutes a bit

You can go ahead and mix up a gal or two of full strength solution for your current growth stage from the chart. Be sure to mix in the correct order. For FF trio I think the chart has the correct order except calmag would be first and should be mixed well before you add the next ingredient. then balance EC, then PH. Start with one part full strength nutes to 4 parts low EC water. Each feeding replace one of the water parts with nutes. That should be close enough without a meter.

I forgot to grab some more distilled water so I only did half strength of cal mag I read my water is about 250ppm but I did full strength to about 5 or 6 parts tap

That will probably work. Don’t forget that you will need to give them some runoff to wash out old imbalanced nutes. Just make sure you let them dry a little between waterings so they don’t stay saturated in the big pots.

Yeah for sure I also gave the smaller girls half strength of the big bloom

Since I’m in a soil-less media should I be feed with every water and treat it like coco

yes you should feed every watering and run off each watering, but you would not water as often as you would coco.

Yeah I definitely think it’s about time to start giving her some water I was really bad with overwatering at first so I try to lean towards less than more

Now that your feeding you need the runoff regularly to help wash out the leftover nutes the plant didn’t use. If you don’t it can lead to salt build up over time in the medium which will interfere with water and nute uptake. You may have to water less often to allow a little time to dry. Watch out though. If the peat turns hydrophobic then you waited too long and should adjust accordingly.

All the girls responded very nicely to the nutes and the main branch is starting to get thick on the big girl not really much to say here today

I watered/fed last night I wanted to wait till morning but I knew I wouldn’t have had time this time I used about 3 to 4 parts full strength nutes and I gave the bigger girl a little hair cut she was getting much airflow through the middle of everything

Looks like they are getting some of their color back. I can’t tell for sure,but it looks like you might need that cal mag soon.

Yup, they are looking pretty happy so I wouldn’t worry too much. When a plant experiences deficiency the damage never goes away or heals. You know it’s fixed when the symptoms stop spreading.
