Feed Schedule For Ebb and Flow Hyrdo

I got fresh clones about 2 weeks ago was told to only water them once a week because they could still be in shock.

Well, its been two weeks and they have come along nicely and I was wondering if I can feed them more often? I have heard some ppl water 3 times a day? Is too much or is it ok? Thanks.

Aslo, I bough the "marijuana bible" and some of my plants leave are a light vivid yellow. The book says its a PH problem (we keep ours around 6.5) but could this be heat too? I am using 1 600 watt HPS for 4 plants.

+rep for comments.

you are going to want to lower your ph below 6. i keep mine in the 5.5-5.8 range. hydro uptake is different than soil. your floodschedual depends on the medium that you use. i use coco and curently have my table to flood 5x a day for 20-25 mins and im at 4 weeks flowering. by the end of the week i should be up to 6x a day...

Your pics don't match the story. You say 600 watts on 4 plants, but there's obviously ore than 4 plants in that first pic.

What medium are you using?

in veg i flood/feed them once every 24hrs.
in flower 3x15min, lights on only.
lower your ph to 5.8-6.2 no matter what

(4) 600w hps total. (1) 600w per tray (per 4plant).

I am using hydroton clay pellets in a 20 gallon 3x3 tray.

Shouldn't there be some down time before watering the next day?

I was told to water once a day right now, about an hour right before the lights go off

Does anyone have a good link to watering info and scheduling.? Thanks.

down time for what?

why would you soak your medium an hour before its most succeptible to mold/mildew? i flood my hydroton 2-3x daily- once immediatly at lights on and never closer than 2 hours before lights off.

I flood (in hydroton) anywhere from every 2 hours all day and night to 4 or 5 times lights on and once in the middle of the night.

It's really hard to mess up, and considering you've already done a complete cycle it should be even easier this time.

dude wipe down your rez that it gross!
