Hello - Please can someone provide some quick advice? Im new to this but really want to learn.
7 days old - first set of true leaves (Auto NL)
Coco grow - I didn't thoroughly water down the soil before I put the seedlings in, is this going to be a problem? I feel that I have watered the first few inches of the soil enough though now. When should I do my first full soak through (10 Litre airpot)
Plant Magic Nutes
Root Stimulant - the shop said add this as soon as there is a root i.e day one basically. Is this right?
Going to use their hard water veg and flower nutes plus bloombastic - not planning on using growth nutes until at least 3-4 weeks in? Its an Auto remember...
I have a bottle of their evolution spray ready - they said at the shop use it as soon as there are leaves but I think I will wait until 3 weeks to be safe?
My Main Questions are:
*If I am using tap water (very hard) my method of prep is as such:
Let water sit for atleast 48 hours then,
Add nutrients, and then Ph down - in this order OR PH down first then add nutrients then PH down again? And how long must you wait for PH down to be effective - 5-10 mins enough?
How long can my prepared mix sit in a dark cupboard if I don't want to have to mix this every day?
If I am adding nutes and the schedule says mix in Flowering nute till EC 1.5 - then I want to add say BloomBastic and another schedule says 1.5 for BloomBastic - do I make the total EC 3?
Basically I feel like my nute technique needs brushing up - as this is what I feel most unfamiliar with. I have read multiple posts on nutes but none actually state the practical method of creating a solution easily and how long it lasts for etc.
Final Question - I have a Marshydro 300w (old) at just over 18 inches. Is there any consensus as to how high this should really be? I am thinking about keeping it at a height that stops too much stretch and doesn't show sighs of stressing the seedlings... very excited!
Woohoo
