Inuart88 I really don't want to argue with you, so please don't take this as an argument. The issue really isn't about nutrition, it is about salinity. If you can keep salinity down then you can add more nutrients to the water. If you start with RO water you can add more because there is none to begin with. If you make the water to salty, it will hinder the plants ability to take in water, which is what causes "Nute burn".
Nutrient companies recommend both an EC or PPM and then suggest recipes to achieve them. The EC/PPM recommendation is the one that they expect you to follow. You can certainly verify that with them.
You can train plants to grow with very high levels of salinity, but it hinders rather than helps their growth.

I didn't say I don't like you lol. I don't agree it's based on the size of the plant. If your medium is holding onto 4k ppm that's going to burn your plant if it is within the range of the feed chart your less likely to burn your plant. Even with plain phd water inbetween your medium will still hold onto certain nutrients. All plants will not react the same to the same feed schedule. If your run off is sitting at 2k ppm and another is sitting at 1k obviously you need to back off the dose.
Yes bigger plants will require a higher ppm but that's not saying they need more nutes. You have to feed the soil not the plant.
And yes everyone should get a full spectrum of unbiased information. But more is not better. I'm sorry I pissed you off, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just know from experience full strength is not always best and you should pay attention to what's going on in your medium.

I agree with D.A.A.S.69 - another reason for thinning it now, is you have to plan ahead just a little bit - meaning - once your buds get developed and fatten up you want to guard against too much moisture in the middle. Moisture only encourages mold to grow.

Thanks for great reply's! I am going to give a few more days and then go in and do a better job at cleaning it out. For what it's worth I have been using the nutrient schedule I found here and started adding the Kool bloom on suggestion from a friend https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-cont...t-schedule.pdf. I am going to get rid of Kool bloom.
They are drinking a lot of water that's for sure! I change out water on Saturday's and add with roughly 3 gallon of water and on Wednesday morning this week I was like " I best check that out". Container about empty and and air stone a sputtering. Good thing, bad thing, indifferent thing? Maybe bad because all that water going to support ye jungle and not the bud sites??

Ok, pretty excited here. 1st grow. Thanks to all the great help I have got here from members and the GWE site, I think I am ready for harvest at least the tops buds at least. I grow in hydro bubbleponics and am flushing now with florakleen I think it is. What is proper flush time? I took some small buds the other day. Here some pic of those. But 1st pic of current grow box, 2nd pic of next cabinet I am going to convert to grow box but use for drying now, and some pics of some unimpressive buds!
