when i was doing dwc i would feed a week to 2 weeks after some decent root growth.start with 1/4 to 1/2 nutes.they will grow fast in dwc so keep an eye out to see if she's hungry.good luck

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

DWC is literally NOTHING like soil

total dissolved solids

in dwc your going to want nutrients in your water all the time, even with seeds

hey farmers..so i gave the seedling quarter strength nutes 2 days ago and they doubled in size since but the new growth seems pretty yellow almost..should i just add a lill source of N or u think they could go half strenth on all nutes instead of quarter?

What nutes you using and whats the measurement at full strentgh in ml per gallon

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:
