I have a 62 gallon tote UCDWC setup running. I am at the end of veg and ready to flip. I'm using Botanicare Pro Nutrients, Cal-Mag with my RO, and Liquid Karma. From everything I have read, you need to keep some Veg nutes in during the transition phase.
How do you do this without wasting a ton of nutrients?
I was going to drain out 3/4 of my current veg water which is only at about 600ppm. Then add back with the recommended Week 1 Bloom formula. That would keep in some veg nutes to ride out the transition. Then going forward only top off and adjust with the recommended bloom nutes.
Does this sound okay to do? What do you do?
The other options I thought of was:
1. a full water change, add bloom nutes, and a little fresh veg nutes. or
2. Add the bloom nutes to the existing water for the transition period, then do a full water change after that. I don't like option 2 much because it will waste a lot of nutrients.
