Is this true also with soilless/coco?

22

Absolutely! Those mediums are inert, nutes aren’t in them until you feed.

23

I don’t have any readers or ph/tds meters, since I’m using distilled store bought gallons.
Didn’t want to use tap.
Yes air pump is all the way up, and light is sitting at directed height from the mars hydro website

24

For humidity I have a humidifier but when left on can jump to the high 80s, and 90s
Would the cup of water trick work for my humidity control?
If not I can put humidifier on a set timer

25

I trend EC daily to help me decide on what to add for makeup and when to do a res changeout.

26

I don’t know. I’ve never done either method.

I use a humidifier that lets me adjust a setpoint.

27

Ok ok thanks for everyone’s help at this stage in my first grow!
Will definitely keep posting and updating progress and will reach out if I have any more questions!!

28

Any other comments or suggestions are appreciated as well

Is this just the two bottom leaves giving way for new growth ? The one leaf shriveling up a tad!?

Correct, no worries there. Here’s one of my plants. Those bottom leaves were the first true leaves. They’ll drop off or I’ll pinch em off when there’s a little more clearance.

Awesome and last thing I’d love some more info on is my water level and top top off. I’m gonna order a simple ph/tds meter kit from Vivosun on Amazon.
I’m following advanced nutrient beginner nutrient guide and I think I’m understanding the 1/4 and half of the nutrients depending on size and stage but I’m curious on how to add top off to my rez. Or if I can just run the whole week on what I have added and then just change out my Rez the following week

33

Thank you again for your help and time @GoneFission very grateful for every piece of info you’ve shared as well as others

34

We’ve all been where you are.

What are your thoughts on the rez top off ?
And if me running it for a full week and then changing week by week would be a safe general rule of thumb.

My current feeding schedule, top is veg, and bottom is flower

38

Also should probably clarify that I’m only using the micro, grow, and bloom. Nun of the additional for this first run

39

I mix up nutes at 50% of the chart strength and use that for makeup.

If you change your res every week you can’t go wrong but you’ll tune that in with experience under your specific conditions.

I changeout after two weeks of veg.
Then after two more weeks I changeout to flower nutes and flip the lights to 12/12.
From then on I’ll change every 10 to 14 days depending on the conductivity trend. Usually after a 500 to 600 us increase.

I’ve always used the full line.
