I'd start at 1/4 strength now. See the round leafs at the bottom are discolored? She's run out of reserves and is ready for you to feed her.

What nutes are you using honestly I have never really needed to add calmag to hydro maybe in the late stages but not a seedling.

A lot of people seem to disagree with this idea, but I agree 100%. Most people just run they're shit way too acidic and have Ca issues. I use dyna-gro products and they specifically say that a calcium supplement is not needed. They sell a product called Mag pro to boost magnesium levels, but I've not had a need for that either. Occasionally I give them Epsom salt and they're happy with that.

I have heard good things about hydroguard though. Not so much that it's a necessity but that it's helpful.

Never a bad idea, as Mg deficiencies are fairly common. And it plants use a lot more sulfur during flower.

I've never used that nutrient line. Started with dyna gro and never saw a reason to switch. And I'm not a big fan of schedules either. I keep notes, every time I change the res or add anything to it I take note of the date, pH and ppms before and after everything, as well as how much of everything I put in. Which is easy with just DG foliage pro/bloom, DG protekt, sm-90, and the occasional MgSO4.

You gotta read your plants. Watch the fluctuating readings of your res. Ppm's go up while water level goes down your feeding too much, or visa versa.
Here's a link. I got a pizza calling my name upstairs.

Gh is good to go
Terps and dtl420 are on the right path

Just give it the normal of each nutrient @ 1/4 strength all 3 not just micro
Dont need anything else cal mag is for deficiency.
And ro but since its a seed there should be plenty in the gh if not bump the feed.

If you bump the feed till you get slight tip burn
Then you can use cal mag to fix the deficiency

Your looking good better to under feed than over feed imo

Might just be getting water on the tips from the drip ring?

:)

so i have some super hard water, i started this grow with tap. have since switched to RO since my tap is 350 ppm @ 8.5 ph.... ROUGH. anywho i have now drilled my drip ring holes slightly larger, and have flushed the rez and added new RO water also first feed of Flora micro, grow, bloom and hydroguard. everything at 1/4 strength. hopefully she is happy in the morning :)
