Pardon the ignorance here, but you said 30% run off...So I should water until I see about 30% of the water come through the bottom? If that is the case, I wonder if I have been UNDERwatering, as I don't ever get runoff. Yikes! lol 
Also, regarding misting, how often should I foliar feed? Right now, I have lights on 24/7, as I am trying to get larger plant bigger, and babies are only about a week old. I can DRASTICALLY tell the difference from the first one I sprouted (under to flouro 2' grow bulbs from HDepot) and the 3 others (under HPS). Sooooo, hoping the babies wont have the same issues.
Anyway, after all my babbling, I would really appreciate any comments!! =)
Thanks guys!  |
Thanks for the compliment....yeah those babies dont grow very fast unless you are using hps...as far as the runoff goes...20 to 30 % will drain all of the salts and shit that build up in your soil. you are correct by the way 30% of what you put in....always check the ph on that runoff. and...I only foliar feed when my soil is too wet to water again and the plants need some nutes....everything will come right along for you now with that 400...you are gonna have a big ass smile in about two weeks when you can really see the difference it makes
