Grow Mediums General hydroponics seedling feeding question....

[FadedMalone]

I have a WOS-AKR in an AOK starter plug that just popped out the cube today. I read here on AFN to feed three days after she popped out the cube. I'll be putting her in a hempy bucket . My question is should I use grow,micro and bloom on the third day or just micro or grow till she is older. On the bottle it says to us 1/4 strength on seedlings and cuttings but, for autos I understand to use less nutes. One problem I have is I don't have a ppm meter or EC meter. I'll continue to use the general hydroponics test drops kit for my ph readings. If there is something I need to know or advice y'all could give me I'd really be thankful..

Go with equal parts of all three only at a reduced strength. I generally feed auto seedlings at 1 ml of each per gallon.

Thanks for the quick reply muddy. I looked all over the forum for the answer but the search function didn't help much.:tiphat:

Are you sure you want him to use bloom nutes already?

If I don't need the bloom nutes should I add a little more of grow and micro or just keep as Muddy said but just not the bloom?

I would recommend feeding just like Muddy said. Equal parts all three at 1ml/gallon. If you have the Rapid Start it helps to add it as well. GH recommends to use all three all the way through late bloom then drop the Grow.

Thanks A4.

Now I'm confused.I thought it was standard procedure not to add bloom nutes until they go into full flower but at 1ml per gal I guess it won't hurt any thing.If in doubt follow the manufactures feeding chart.They have done testing and usually what they say works.

@namvet25..I'll be using distilled water so should I also use an equal part of cal-mag as well?

With a lot of nutes that is correct nam, especially with only a two part formula but in the case of GH they need the bloom throughout the entire grow just not as much in beginning as in the end. The bloom carries the phosphorous needed early in growth for roots.
