Hi All -
My first grow is within its first week!
I'm following the Coco For Cannabis recommendations - 70/30 coco mixture from bricks and General Hydroponics nutrients
Coco has been buffered twice with 7.5mL Calmag/gal water.
I have 1 seedling going (Twenty20 HOT DAMN autoflower) and I am preparing to transplant into a solo cup.
When following the Coco for Cannabis seedling feed chart, I've mixed a gallon of full strength nute soltuion - CalMag 5ml, Micro 1.25ml, Gro 0.6ml, Bloom 0.6ml, Diamond nectar 2.5ml to a gallon of water.
My EC of this solution is around 900.
Now to my understanding I need to dilute this with a calmag water to keep the calmag levels the same in my final product. So in addition to mixing my nutes, I have mixed a separate gallon of water with 5ml calmag.
Next I took a small sample of my nute solution, which has an EC of 900, and began to dilute it with my CalMag/Water. It seems I have to REALLY dilute this solution to achieve a 400EC... so much that im questioning if this is the correct way.
My questions -
1 - Should I be diluting with plain water or calmag/water?
2- If I have to dilute the solution so much, should I be starting with a fraction of the nutes to arrive closer to my target EC of 400?
3 - How do you all prepare for feeding your seedlings?
Thank you for reading this and any help you may have to offer!
