Feed right from the start at low ppm. Something like 300 TDS.

DWC is literally NOTHING like soil

Yep 300-400 ppm from the rip. I was staying around 500-600 in mid to late veg with amazing results. You don't need to be pumping out any more than that. Early flower 600-700 mid to late 600-1000 depending on strain. If your leaves are yellowing you need to give em more, if they have tip burn or "the claw" you need to flush for day or two with low ppm 200-300 and then adjust accordingly. I flush Half strength nutes one day every 7-10 days. Good luck! What nutes u runnin? Suggestions:
