I'm using Dyna-Gro line with 0 ppm water and was wondering what PPM you guys would recommend for some new seedlings about an inch long? I'm using a homemade aero clonner so it's 'recirculating' and not 'drain to waste'

thanks!

No nutes you will kill them at this stage seedlings feed off there first set of leafs ( the round ones ) these will dye off because the plant is feeding off them and everything the seedling needs is there, just be patient and let them show you they need food ,

Not what he said. He said no Nuts not zero ppm. I dont know what he recomends, but tap water is better for seedlings becuse its closer to rain water then RO water. It has basic trace elemets and minerals in it. Nothing to hurt, only to help. O ppm is lifleless water, you would have to add something soon and that might be to much. Tap water is a easy way to go. I grow in tap without Nuts till the 4th node just fine.

hmm ok. the dyna-gro feed chart says 500 ppm to start. I'll try about 200 ppm and leave it there, then read the plant from there

Reading the plant is what it is all about.
