they look nice and green

I wouldn't add any (more) fertilizer for now

I see some very very mild sign of magnesium hunger so I would water only plain water with 1/4 tsp Epsom salt

top dress it and water it in

the calcium and magnesium is the first thing to go out on the FFOF

a little calmag 2 to 4mls per gallon and some Epsom salt 1/4 tsp per gallon starting around week 3 will get you thru to week 5 or 6 of veg as long as your container isn't too small

Looks good. Be careful using Epsom on top of cal/mag.

for sure you don't want to over do it

dont go adding extra cuz it wont give you more

having said that 2mls calmag and 1/4 tsp Epsom salt is a safe low amount

I wouldn't add it more than 1x per week or even less...unless your plants ask for it

calcium def shows first as small red/copper freckles on lower leaves

magnesium shows first as cupping and twisting of leaves

I like all the genral hydropinc stuff, its easy

if you have a very good scale you can use the maxigrow and maxibloom dry salts
I prefer 3grams of each per gallon for bloom

if you want a simple 1 part 1 bottle liquid fertilizer the floragrow and flora nova are very well balanced and the instructions are spot on

the 3part is nice but you gotta buy more bottles
the 3 parts plus calmag and Epsom salt
