Hello,
I'm still wondering, when watering your plant in 100% perlite before the plants roots have hit the rez, you do not give it nutes and you water to about 40-50% waste correct? And then when your plants root hit the rez or about 3-4 weeks into Veg you start giving the plants nutes right? My main question is after the roots have hit the rez, how much drain to waste do you water to each time you water?
Also please define Drain-to-waste just to be sure I'm using it correctly, from my understanding draining to waste 50% of a 3 gal bucket would be when 1.5 gal of water is drained from bucket out of 2 inch holes. This would mean I'm watering 1.5 gals right? So basically you give the plant half the amount of the size of it's container everytime you water?
