OK, so I got a lot of advice before buying my setup, but now I feel like a fool when reading about what to feed my plants when it comes to it. So I have a lot of questions, sorry. I'll number them to make it (hopefully) easier to answer!
1) I'm growing in rockwool blocks in coco coir. I was told to use Vitalink Max, but I now realise that is for hydro setups not coco.I guess it would work but I guess also that I am better off getting some Canna coco a+b, is that right?
2) EC....I just about understand. Electrical conductivity, higher due to salt buildup in the coir yeah?
3) But do I *need* to measure this? The testers are expensive and I am poor (tight).
4) Can I just go on a schedule of watering every 2-3 days, and every 2-3 waterings give a feed according to the chart on the bottle?
5) Should I flush them on the last watering before the feed watering? I mean I will water each time until I get some runoff from the 15 litre pots but should I *properly* flush?
I feel like an idiot having got this far without really knowing what I was doing about feed. I also kinda wish I'd used soil, but I'm too committed to change now hahah! Thanks in advance....
