just water or low nutes??

hi all...just about to put my seedlings in my bubbler and was wondering if i should give them just water w/ superthrive? or if i should give them a low dose of gh flora series?
the strains are white widow and northern lights. both are from nirvana.
they are rooted in rockwool and are getting their second set of leaves
thanks

idk kno for a bubber but a would say let them mature b4 feedin

I don't grow in bubbler systems, but I hope I can help. When you say "seedlings" how old and how tall are they? How many nodes? Personally, I toss a very low dosage of 200ppm for my plants that are under three nodes tall. I use GH flora 3 part nuts. And they really like to have the N right about then...Hey keep postin that grow, it will be cool to see then end result with those two strains racing against one another! What light, medium, and nuts are you using? GL

i am doin 5 of each in hopes of finding a strong mom, DWC, vegging under 4x 4' flouros till i throw the 400w mh on them.
Once they get big i will be throwin a 1000w hps in the mix as well.....maybe 2
they will be gettin gh 3part and diamond nectar, plus carboboost, or similar product for bloom

I just ph my water at that point, I heard good things about superthrive, but am yet to use it. I have not had deficeincies with my tap water that have slowed "much" down..

By the way, I have gone back and forth on using my 400w mh, and 4 40w flouro. I love the pace at witch they grow, but the heat is killin me, even with a reflector that runs air through it, it still kicks the temp up 6-9 deg. The growth with the flouro's is slow but tight.. If you have moms, I say go flouro, but I have been cloning clones for three batches, so that quick growth is essential.

When you are growing hydro, you want to feed your plants always. They've got nothing else, so if you want them to grow, then feed them. For young plants, use 2ml of each flora nute. And for new rooting into any medium, I use Superthrive at 1ml/gallon.

oh ya, another thing i'd like to ask is could i add the nutes after the water is already in the tank?

Sure, you can add nutes or supplements, or pH-adjusted water to your res to adjust it as you see fit.
