How often should I use a nutrient solution?

atlien415 spazzing out again, taking things too literally, arguing over pedantic nonsense... Using his favorite fallacious logic: strawman, misprepresenting what was said, tangetial nonsense, false comparisons, nit-picking unrelated aspects and of course just making shit up. Also engages in ad hominem as a form of argument. This person has zero integrity in how they argue. The live their life like a perpetual middle schooler. They start with some self-absorbed motivation and selectively chooses what he focus on to manufacture useless arguments that are hyper-focused on some aspect that isn't even relevant to the original question(s). just an example or 2 cause i'm not wasting too much time on this. The conversion from EC can use one of several conversion factors. that alone should tell you the lack of accuracy by comparison to calculating elemental ppm. Gauranteed analysis are a gauranteed minimums. if a manufacturer is fucking that up, you shoudln't buy their stuff. Arguing about this when he knows better shows that this is really some irrational personal attack. He's an emotionally-driven person constantly looking to start a fight over utter nonsense. Not only that, but overall concentration doesn't tell you shit. Tracking individual ppms or 'weighted average %'s based on dosing' will allow you to confidently and precisely adjust your formula based on observation of growth. It can be applied to the next grow and confidently expect the intended result. With soilless/hydro nutes you can absolutely expect consistency. Sure their are some variations to specific ingredients, but it's a small pool. Either it is 100% soluble and 100% plant ready or it is not. Nothing groundbreaking has been discovered about plants relative to home gardening context. you can feel safe using information from "way back" in 2019, LOL. Existing knowledge is not something you ignore. New research that hasn't been peer-reviewed or shown to be a repeatable and consistent relationship or effect is what you need to be wary of. "Existing knowledge that is old must be bad! LOL Fire! Ungh! Fire bad!" - atlen415 displays SNL frankenstein sophistication. The idea being communicated was to track what you feed in a resolved way and the benefits should be obvious. Atlien415 arguing about this in tangential ways and nit-picking irrelevant details shows how this is just about him personally attacking me as opposed to anything productive. A bug has craweld WAY up his ass. tap or ro concerns? This is just another example of him picking a fight over nothing. Some half-wit will complain about how much i write, then another half-wit complains i didn't write enough. If the numbers were calculated from the labels, obviously that's not including the what come in the water. Why would it? Magic? You'd have to make up figments in your head (atlien's) to think anything differently. carbs? your flower also isn't being 'carb-loaded' LOL. Again, irrelevant detail Flushing does not affect structure of flower development. This ignored unhealthy plants, because the context is a healthy plant with proper results, not some dumpster fire fuck up. I don't get how this twit can say i said things 'too difinitively.' Everything is a ballpark to start in then you have to observe and adjust for the numerous local variables. Yet another example of making things up and misrepresenting what was said. Atlien415 is just a mean girl being hysterical, again. He's a little insecure stalker with way too much time on their hands. For all his need to fee superior, his grows sure look like mids. LOL

Hey 👋 Most of the nutrients supplier give you a schedule, when to use it, how much in which medium & how often. BioBizz for example recommends to fertilize 3 times a week acc. To their schedule for each medium. Each plant will react differently to the fertilization, so I would suggest to start acc. Schedule & see how plant reacts. Hope this helped 👊🍀🖖

depends how you are growing. In soil in the earth? Or in a pot? every 1-4 weeks. In soiless or hydro? every day to a few times a week.

Every time he wants you to go to cocoforcannabis and read some dr coco stuff, of Kathy's blogspot for gardening cucumbers in nowhere Texas... like literally what is the point of giving ranges for NPK and more in PPM. Who has the ability or desire to measure their NPK makeup in PPM, because it isn't a homegrower. NPK aren't even able to be converted from the package NPK or the the EC to PPM ranges like that, so really just copy + paste or talking out the side of his neck lol. Like NPK is a minimum, never the exact really. another whiff. guaranteed analysis results could theoretically get you there but there are still ways for vendors to fudge those numbers and then you're talking RO water or better and everything being elemental...seems like a ton of work when the community does NOT agree with the current PPM metrics for majors, secondaries, or micros... Recall folks used to think cannabis needed 20x the N of other plants....then it was folks thinking we needed massive P. Just noting that if you've been growing long enough, you've seen how wrong we have been on cannabis nutrition time and time again. Turns out, it is just like any other C3 plant, not some mythical thing that can only work with anecdotes and voodoo. "Brand is mostly irrelevant when dealing with ubiquitous ingredients for soilless/hydro products." Not all chelates are the same, not all organic sources are the same. Some chelates are from Korea and cost a ton. The same chelate from China is often a way for their government to remove massive heavy metal contamination by adding contaminants to the salt. This is a problem Advanced Nutrients has talked about very openly with their sourcing. Not all formulation are the same is what I am saying. For example, my Kellogs cereal has iron in it...so does my Dollar General vitamins...but when I take a crucible and burn it then recover oxides, then wash it back, I can see that the form of iron in the cereal and vitamins is not bioavailable. Aka I am left with a piece of slag from my oxides after washing. This is why vitamins/health cereals have a price jump from cheapos to respectable brands. "e.g. anyone that thinks flushing changes the mineral content of buds - developing or not. Simply no biological process exists in the plant where it can change the mineral content of finished buds after the fact. There is no excretion system for such things. Toxicities and efficiencies may impact the end result of flowers, but they are still built according to DNA instructions. Molecules can't just be built whimisically with more Ca.. the molecule wouldn't function properly if it were constructed differently. The whole plant would fail if this were the case." got a great SCIENCE piece on flushing if you like reading science not opinions, noting that flushing mostly relates to carbs not minerals...lol but yeah minerals do get used, not removed... anyway, just annoying how definitive he talks with new timers while referencing a website ran by two old timers who havent been relevant in a decade nearly...who havent written anything new in nearly 6 years...that is wild. If you went to buy a phone and the store owner was like, "no no we don't do any of that stuff we only sell devices and use knowledge from 2019 daWg, sorry" then you'd laugh and look for hidden cameras.

Hey growmie, since you're in coco + pumice, you’ll want to treat it like hydro — that means feed every time you water. No plain water unless you're flushing or correcting something. In Week 2 veg, the plant’s still small, so watering might be every 2–3 days depending on pot size and temps. Just make sure the coco never dries out completely — keep it lightly moist, and when you do water, always give light nutes with runoff to avoid salt buildup. Your setup looks solid with AC Infinity gear and even CO₂ — just focus on consistency, keep your pH around 5.8, and you’re good. Don’t stress too much, just keep things steady and she’ll reward you 🌱 If you share what nutrients you're using, I can help fine-tune the dosage too. Good luck with your first grow! ✌️💚

depends on lvl of solution ppm could be twice a week with 500 ppm or 1 with 1000

With coco coir base? That's 'soilless' so every irrigation... and every irrigation should have 10% runoff or more to avoid buildup. in a soilless context, you maintain a consistent, controlled level of nutrients around the roots. The runoff ensure you don't ge buildup -- even if the resulting equilibrium is not exactly what your formula is... it's still directly controlled by your formula, which is all that matters. Calculated elemental ppm is more accurate than an EC pet reading that is just a conversion of electrical conductivity. Don't compare the following numbers to EC readings / conversions. N 120-130 P 40-60 K 180-200 Ca 100+ Mg 75ish S 100ish. This would be a low concentration and a good ballpark to start. I use somethign similar on seedlings and never have an issue. So, using from the first irrigation is no problem, though you can rely on the seed to power itself the first ~10 days or so. sometimes i wait for the 2nd fertigation, but seem to get better results starting day 1. I use promix, which comes with an inidtial charge that is extremely similar, except for much lower potassium. So, in my context whether i fertilize with the first irrigation or not, it gets roughly the same thing from the get-go. from here you can simply observe and adjust... this basic formula, with your adjustments for local variables, will work well on 99% of marijuana plants. It's not my formula. IT's a formula used by several professional Ag companies for 'hydro' nute setups... hydro and soilless in regard to fertilization is essentially the same thing. there are websites and apps that can calculate and tabulate your elemmental ppm from gauranteed analysis lables and dosage. The better ones can even tell you the dosage to hit certain ppm targets. This is how you can use just about any brand of products to get a similar ratio/concentration. if it's a soilless/hydro fertilizer, it's 100% plant available and 100% soluble, so it'll translate across brands without much concern. jacks 321, megacrop, crop salts, sothern ag, masterblend et al all have a ~3 product setup that essentially equates to the above ratio/concentration, but that doesn't mean you can't get there with other products. Brand is mostly irrelevant when dealing with ubiquitous ingredients for soilless/hydro products. check out cocoforcannabis.com. their articles and guides are the best, bar none. The least amount of nonsense science out there. compare their guides to others to see what you should ignore, lol. All sorts of conjecture and unproven hypothesis of people that have no background education or experience on the matter. It's easy to avoid the really retarded stuff like burning your plant or icing the roots, but there's plenty of stuff that sounds right but makes no sense... e.g. anyone that thinks flushing changes the mineral content of buds - developing or not. Simply no biological process exists in the plant where it can change the mineral content of finished buds after the fact. There is no excretion system for such things. Toxicities and eficiencies may impact the end result of flowers, but they are still built according to DNA instructions. Molecules can't just be built whimisically with more Ca.. the molecule wouldn't function properly if it were constructed differently. The whole plant would fail if this were the case.
