No one scarred away here! Just found myself in a strange wormhole where looking for answers on the internet, only led me to being told I need to find the answers on the internet. Go figure. I've done plenty of research on rdwc, Nevertheless I've yet to find any direct answer to any of my questions. In fact, i'll be willing to bet no one here can give me direct link(s) that answer questions 2-6. So unless anyone here can help me out here, I guess i'll have to join thcfarmer instead.Hope we didn't scare him away LOL!

The info is more then out there budd
If you did your research you wouldnt ask such easy questions really.
.2 NO DONT DO THAT BE CAUSE IT FUCKS THEM UP they are seperate for a reason
.3 same answer it DEPENDS even if you follow someones grow to a T. It still wont be the same too many variables, strain ,grower knowledge,environment ect ect
4. uh, check it as often as you see fit but as a noob id do it twice a day
5. You heard right .again see answer number 3
At your stage i wouldnt give any nutes til the fist true leaves pop out then give what ever the bottle says but not the full amount start at 50% or less and work your way up .
6 again what ever the fuck you want dude its your grow....i recomended a synthetic nute take your pick you should know what it is with your research
Thats still the same answers i gave before . Just more asshole like
And no im not going to get links cause its all just a click away .
Go whatch every video by jorge cervantes
Just 4 growers, and harley smith and youll have a good start
But please dont say you researched and come with way lame questions then be butt hurt when we tell ya to look and not spoon feed you links sorry
And theres plenty of people whom ived typed PAGES to help them grow. As much as im able because im no botanists
But they already have plants going and have done ENOUGH research to start .
Didnt try to come off rude honest
In fact i just realized the type of questions could be an indication of

But seriously...that’s a really nice looking plant. I’ll get em nice and big and encrusted like that, but the only way they get that far is with a lot burned leaves. What’s your nute line-up? I didn’t go into any of your journals or entries yet, but I’m assuming you do DWC...? If your nutes are 100% water soluble and inorganic I’d like to try what you did to get it that far without burning any leaves.Lmfao how about ypu scoll tf up and look at what i posted.

Just jpined this site so not much info of me on here yet. Just starting a grow journal. No burnt leaves here just lush green. I use botanicare pure blend pro. Pretty much the whole lineup. Been using it for years with great results so i just kept with it.

don't let the door hit you on the way out.
there is no way you did a google search for question 2 and didn't come up with the correct way to add nutes to a res.

There are so many videos out there, especially from George Cervantes. Not to mention, whole websites on every aspect of growing (like GrowWeedEasy).
My advice would be to put aside the hydro, and do a little reading into growing weed in soil. Starting with hydro is definitely possible, as myself and others have done this. But there is a level of resourcefulness, engineering, and problem solving required to be successful. Asking how to feed plants in an RDWC that you already built is a clear indicator that you're not quite ready for the complex stuff. Because, when you get past how to feed the plants, there are a thousand more things waiting to be figured out, and each is more difficult than the last.
If you do decide to go soil, do not try mixing your own! Just buy ready-mix potting soil. I like Black Gold, but there are plenty of others. Keep things as simple as possible, because there are plenty of things you're already going to be trying to figure out.

BTW, you can look at the container of nutrients and it'll tell you how much to add. However, it's recommended to use half strength of recommended nutes. Usually the manufacturer will have a website with grow chart's you can go by.
Here's one for General Hydroponics, for example:
To measure the amount of nutrients you currently have in your water, you need a TDS Meter. "TDS" is "Total Dissolved Solids". Knowing your nutrient level is crucial for determining how much to add, or whether there's too much, which will harm your plants, known as "burning". You also need to balance your water in order for your plants take to take in nutrients and transport them around the plants. For this, you'll need pH Up and pH Down to adjust the pH, and something to measure the level.
pH Kit
You can also use a pH Meter instead of he drops, but that's one more thing you'd have to learn how to use properly, so maybe wait.
That should be enough to get you started, but you have so much more to learn. You need to know things ahead of time so you can keep your plants happy, proactively, and not reactively when things are already in trouble.

And that's exactly my point. Why don't you grow some in soil first before you went hydro? By growing in soil, you'll gain valuable experience in growing cannabis. Soil is forgiving, you make mistakes, you can correct it and save your plants and still get a decent yield.
Hydro on the other hand is not for the inexperience, mistakes in hydro is costly and worst you end up with dead plants. By the time you run to the forum wondering what's happening with your roots, your plants are beyond salvation.
Your #1 question
Do I only feed once per week during water changes?
I typed that in Google and added rwdc for clarification
Do I only feed once per week during water changes? rdwc

All the answer you need is right there but of course since you have no clue as to how to grow this plant at all much more any iota of what is hydro.... you're totally lost.
Jumping in the ocean full of sharks and asking how to swim. My answer is still the same...swim dude.

Agreed! If you're spending all your time learning all about operating a hydroponic system, you aren't learning how to grow. Doesn't matter what kind of system you use if you don't know how to grow.
