Drooping Autoflower Seedlings

i did that on my first plant. if you use Lucas formula, it says you can run 8/16 from seedling to harvest. that gives about EC of 2 which almost melted my leaves. killed the shit out of her in a day. lesson learned (the hard way lol)

Rather than slate me down for suggesting something that nute manufacturers recommend
Have you thought of WHY they say you can run that high but yet YOU cannot?
the problem will be in your system not the nutes or the instructions and probably 90% of peoples problems in the first place.
IF your system is not active enough they will get nute burn, Root rot and because of underfeeding alsorts of deficiencies on top of that.
THE POWER IS IN THE FLOW thank you.

yes, they are in the business of selling nutes to make money. more nutes=more money.
and 2 other people posted the same as me: you don't need 2EC for seedlings unless you like to make nute companies more money.

Can't cover ignorance I'm afraid, its no wonder people have problems

LOL. yep, most people have problems in hydro from overfeeding. and following bad advice. LOL.

Update on this one, my problem was not running my pump enough. I was worried that the areogarden plugs would be getting too wet if I ran the pump too much but what that ended up doing was not getting the babies enough oxygen through water. I changed the pump settings to running 24/7 and that fixed the problem.

Here's a photo of both plants a couple of days before I cut them down. Definitely not perfect but for my 2nd try (first attempt was ruined from spider mites) I am pretty happy. The plants combined resulted in 5.3 ounces, after curing it for 7-8 weeks it smokes pretty nicely.
