I am by no means an expert on hydro but I think if u have a seedling in a dwc u need atleast some or very little nutrients. I feel like if there is just straight water the plant would die very fast. I mean where would it get food from other than the codelyden( I kno that is misspelled I'm very stoned right now) but once those little guys are used up there would be nothing.
Right?
 
thnx for the reply. yea, this is my 2nd attempt at dwc, and I'm by no means an "expert", but I have done my research,I've heard that I don't need nutes till about 2nd week, so I'm using just plain tap water that sat out over night to kill chlorine. plus I'm using an autoflower, they don't need nutes first 2 weeks, the seed has enough nuets stored in it to get by. but I'll look around, see if adding a 1/4 strength would help. I did top feed it with a small amount of nutes. think I'll be doing that till about a week in.

what i mean is that not all autos are the same lol
I have been growing the same genetic line for over a year now
and they all seem like they really like my fert schedule.

This is what i doi break it down as follows

First off let me talk about what i use as ferts. I have a 4 part system that i use and most of this is in the brain so please bare with me as i share this one.

I use FF grow big (hydro formula) Tiger Bloom and then two tea variations. One is high in N for veg and the other is high in Phosphorus when its time to flower.
I apply these through out the grow. I use the FF to get it started.
then i move to the teas and then back to the FF and then back to the teas

So i break it down like this:
FF GB is 3Tbsp/1Gal for heavy feedings. So in my mind this is more than enough for our fave friends. So it states that 2tbsp/1gal is for normal feedings so i use this as my base number. After that i break it down into 1/4

at 7 days i start like this
Day 7 1/4 dose to a gal
Day 14 1/2 dose to a gal + 8oz of N rated tea
Day 21 1tsp GB and then 1/4 of TB (bringing in the TB)
Day 28 1/2 TB + 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Day 35 1.5 tsp TB to a gal
Day 41 2tsp of TB and 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Then Flush till finish unless it needs something at the end.

I think that this is everything that i do like i said i am not sure as this is all in my head. If the plants demand more that i give more this is just something to go by. I usually do not swap in clean water feedings at all over the fert program. I just use the jug then its gone. Now if i start to see over feeding or lockouts ill flush.
But if i keep my water on point i never usually see a lock out or toxicity.

Hope this helps
maybe this will help you... 2 weeks in DWC no nutes sounds like a death plan... :2cents:

Although the above sched is for soil, notice that the soil is a nute-free soil.. and then 1/4 strength is added at day 7ish
 
thanx for reply. yea, I'm gonna start nutes at day 6, or when roots are threw the "net pot". she's looking nice, growing every day now. Lol, only been 2 days, but she's growing nice. thnx again guys.

so my seedling is about 2 inch tall now and it's day 3 from sprouting. I had no nutes in my system, but today I just added 2 ml of GH FloraMicro, 2ml of GH Floragro, and 2ml of Florabloom, to my 5 gallon bucket filled with 3 gallons of tap water (sat over night). she's got deep green coydelon (spelling?) leaves, and the first two "true" leaves are sprouting. pretty tiny, 2cm mabey, any way she's looking good, I'm still trying to upload a picture but it won't let me. I got my metal halide 400w about 2 ½ ft away. and I add this seedling grow light....it's about 2 ft long, 2 fluorescent grow bulbs, 3100 lumen, got it about ⅓ foot away on the side, so the MH light above it can still reach the girl, and I just turn my lid 180° each night, seems to bee working out great. plus I have this little fan thing that has a tube on it it, and air is flowing throw it, so (this is a closet grow, should of said something earlier) I just placed it on the top shelf directly above my plant with the hose hanging down blowing on the outer edge of the lid, and the air is constantly making the girl dance!♛ the humidity is around 20%, and temp is 80°. I have my window open with a bigger fan blowing in fresh air. I'm on the 9th floor of a 14 storie building, so fresh air usually isn't a problem.
I just wanted to update you guys on how things are, usually not Alto of action around here, or just my thread? Lol, don't know why, just looking for advice and tips, and I appreciate and thank all those who took the time to read this, especially those who take the time to post back. well. if I think of anything else, I'll update.
I'll keep you guys updated. 

The guidlines are of peak set up and conditions. Duration can vary and yield will depend on how you look after it. I've seen people only get half of the expected yield. Anything above 28g is good for an auto in my honest opinion.
 
Leave the seed alone.The seed will shed the casing when the first seed leaf pushes it out.I would use the MH but not to close at first.Keep it close enough so the seedling doesn't stretch but dosn't get burned.Your already worried about nute def and it just came up.Calm down or you'll be a nervous wreak before long.
 
cool. Alright, the seedling is growing nice now, the two true leaves are getting bigger by the day, and dark green. one question, when the seedling first poped out it had this very tiny whitish circle on one of the leaves. The circle/hole has healed up now, but the leaf is kinda curling in under it self, I think it's better now, 4 hr darkness right now, so can't check, but does anyone know what that could have been? it was like a little hole with the "outer" rim of the hole was a whitish brown, kinda, so small it was hard to tell, but she looks healthy now. I've been misting it 4 - 5 squirts every 4 hrs or so, but not at night/day when I sleep, cause I can't wake my self up just to mist it, I Wanna get one of those sprayer/mister nozzles off Amazon.com, I could just rig up an automatic Mister to spray every 4-5 hrs. is this about how often I should be misting them, they seem to be responding very well.
