you've got the EXACT same setup as me.

i'm in my 16th day of flower and my buds are looking great.
i dont know if its my strain or my setup but i think hydro grows faster than soil.

anyway, if youve got any questions or wonder what ur plants might look like, check my grow out.

good luck, ur gonna have a nice grow.

thats awesome man maybe you can give me some pointers how long until you fed nuts? When do you think i should throw them under the lights? I have the seeds in a dark place nice and waterd

ok here are the rockwool cubes im using and also the nutes. I will be setting up my res tomorrow getting the water to about 72-75 i have the rockwool in a dark place with a little fan circulationg the air a little, how long do you think i should wait to give them nutes and light?

i bought my plants as clones so i threw them under the lights immediately.

in regards to nutes, you said you had a chart - feed them a quarter what it says. i fed mine the amount it said and they got nute burn - not too bad but still not healthy.

other than that, just stick to schedule and check your pH daily or as often as you can if not. keep the pH around what the chart says, mine had a soil and a hydro recommended pH.

Do you think this is too much?

seedlings Gro 25ml
Micro 25ml
Bloom 25ml

im talking just for the seedlings im using my 35 gallon res but only putting 20 gallons of water in it so all those numbers are based on a 20 gal res

so ml per 20 gal what do you think?
I also have ppm reader and ph test kits so i should be cool

Also Soaked my rockwool in the conditioner you see on the bottom

the 1/4 rule is a good one to follow, Nute burn early on can badly damage plants in later life, and increase the chance of hermaphroditism

thanks man so do you like that chart? Do you think thats good? Ok 3 of my white widow seeds have broke and they got put into rockwool too im using straight distilled water? Should i put the water in the res make sure ph is about 5.7 and get it heated first? Can someone answer me when should i start nuts i heard not until 3 weeks, should i just spray the rockwool with distilled water for now?

i'm using the exact same setup as you except my i only filled my res w/ 10 gallons. I started using nutes about 2 weeks into it. as far as spraying goes that's what i did, one thing you have to check is the ph, it does rise quite a bit while sitting in the res.
