Really you should start off with something in the 3-3-3 ratio no nutes in beginning till
Week 3-4 but micro nutes in very small amounts help it after week two cal mag is important but none of that will work w out iron sulfur and zinc....ud be surprised how much is actually in tap water...only thing is that you should leave tap water out over night or In direct sunlight for the day to evaporate the chlorine that can damage roots and kill beneficial bacteria that are feeding your plant.

Should have mentioned a good flush will help if you think your getting nute burn...looks more ph related to me? What's your watering schedule like?

Just replied to your post in my thread. Your stem is thin because there is no natural wind to strengthen it. Just put a cue tip in the soil and tie the stem to it lightly and have a small fan breezing the plant then the stem will get stronger.
So instead of sterilized water i use tap water and let it out for a day, and then use it, and my water schedule is the lifting pot, when my pot is light and the in and out soil is dryy, how do you suggest i flush it?
i did exactly that, i used a cue and a rope to tie it to the stem and now my airflow is doubled the plant is shaking is that fine though?

U can use the serialized water and just water it till you see a lot of water come through....your trying to wash some of the water soluble nutes out. Then try to add some micro nutes either the tap or add something with a wide range...Sounds like your watering is fine but looks like too much k atm

If you have some hydrogen peroxide this will help add oxygen after flushing and also give your roots an instant boost!!

Yea that should be fine but if they get too much wind they will start clawing.
The air flow isnt direct, wall first then plant it gets it shaky but not too much, thanks alot of bro for your tips and time
Ill do that as soon as the soil drys out but im hoping i dont over water, so right now i should get some hydrogen peroxide to boost my rootd and flush my plant thats it right? and i start giving the plant neuts in week 3 or 4 and for now i use the sub nuets 1/4 instead of 1/2 but when my plant is in week 3 or 4 whats the amount of nuets needed, whats the npk level recommended my plant is afghan kush, and it wont affect the plant when i add nuets even though the soil already has nuet or would it? and is npk 12-6-18 good for veg? sorry for alot of questions im a noob and these are my last two plants no more seeds left i need to put all i got in this to work out

On youtube there is an excellent step by step put on by NVclosetmedgrower, he goes from seed to harvest and does an excellent job. He tells how much nutrients, he is always checking ppm and the pH. I hope this helps.
