What medium... many soils can go 3 to 4 weeks on just water. Then you still dont use nutes.. you just pot up with fresh soil

What median or you in? Nutes? I forgot what your setup was. I'm hydro and I started feeding 2 week.
.6 Ec.
In coco I feed from the bottom 2 week. .8 Ec... and week 3 I'm at 1.6 and week 4 I'm at 1.8 to 2.......
I never really go above that...

But I also judge my plants to see how they like the increase. If I think they might have been a little early I just relax on raising the feed again for another 4 or 5 days. If plants are healthy and you have giving them all the other environmental factors they will strive.
If your in soil let GT guide you and disregard my whole posts :)

I hit them with 250 ppm... with my ro water that comes out to about 350ppm. Are you using ROwater?

Shoot us a pic. We can see how healthy they look. we dont want to over feed plants that are not healthy. but coco need nutes. Not much starting out but it needs some plus ca, mg,.... As in calimag or epson salts.
What nutes you using?

 

[GT21]

Being in coco and Without looking at plants i would say start at about 1/4 strength and make sure your ph is good.

Seems high.. I would go with 1/4 of full veg strength. Like GT said...

Now... make sure ph is at 5.8 to 6.0! Very important.

 

[EventHorizan]

Add nutes then ph... stir everything very well. Let ph sit for a few min to make sure gets accurate reading...
