No flushing needed.

Start seeds in an aeroclone type setup in neoprene sleeves. Cheap and easy.

Start seeds off with about .2EC. Clones can go about .4-.6EC. Keep PH at 5.8 in these early stages.

As the plant gets more developed you will want to up the feed. Early veg (plant has 2-3 true leaf sets) .6EC should be fine all the way up till late veg and you'd wanna be at .8-1.0EC.

Start 1.0EC in flower and work up to 1.2EC around week 4. Start PK boosters around start of week 3 so day 14ish.

These are just guidelines. Each plant is different. But this wont burn most plants, might be a bit lean for some plants. But i'd rather run a tad lean than over doing it.

DWC less nutes is more. Big thing is protecting your roots and keeping res temperatures between 64-67. Hydroguard is a good product. Use it.

I'm assuming you have a device(s) to measure PH and EC?

Yes I have a full setup :) Measuring EC and PH. No kiddie stuff here :)

I dont want to burn the plants from over nutes.

I just use grow, bloom, boost, silica product, magical and hydroguard.

Not sure what this awesome blozzom and sugar daddy and thrive alive is.

Sounds like you got it all.

Yea you do need to fush. I usually do it about once every two weeks with flora clean in the water and then drain it again and put fresh nutrients in it again; this prevents nutrient lockout and keeps the roots clean. I use the 3 part series at an equal portion of each thoughout the whole vegetative phase. After two weeks of being in flower I switch to just floranova bloom. That stuff is great, don't even need anything else during flower to grow great buds with that. Even though don't have to I do add sweeteners and other stuff just for the heck of it. I never go above 800 ppms in veg or flower. Also I use h2o2 every time I change the nutrients so it cleans things up a bit. Other than that I just keep it simple with the 3 part nutrients. I find that mine grow quicker that way. All of that Lucas formula shit is unnecessary. Use about 200 ppms of calimagic every time you water and I use 1 drop per gallon of super thrive

Also if you want to know the best way to grow DWC lookup hygrohybrid on YouTube. He's awesome and that's where I learned from

Thanks very much this was very helpful. I shall take a look at hygrohybrid . Im well aware alot of that stuff is likley not going to get used for a while.
The 3 part ratio is what I have been reading about.

Thanks
