i'd start at 1/8 nutes when they are tiny

you'll need a pH meter and a EC/ppm meter to do hydro correctly as a beginner

RO water is great.

autos are usually very light feeders so keep that in mind with nute strength.

i would still buy a pH meter. assuming your pH is really "perfect" could be bad news.

i follow something like this for my feeds: seedlings 0.2 EC, early veg 0.5, rest of veg and most of flower 1.2 then last few weeks of flower 0.5

that's where your EC meter comes in handy. if you start with 1/8 of what the directions say, write down what the EC is. then when you go to 1/4, do the same. you'll see a pattern and you can kinda guesstimate what your EC will be at.

reduce is easy, add RO water.

Definitely pick up an ECC/PH/?? Meter. They are worth the money in the long run and take the guess work out of daily maintenance. You can find them everywhere.

Ok so based on your data, heres my schedule for my lovely little lady.
All mL rounded down because no lol

Wk 1-3 (3-4 sets of TL initiates feed wk 1) 1/4 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 13 mL
B-52= 6 mL
Voodoo Juice= 6 mL
.5 EC desired throughout

Wk 3-6
1/2 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 28 mL
B-52= 13 mL
1.0 EC desired throughout

Wk 6-9
3/4 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 39 mL
B-52 = 19
1.2 EC desired throughout

Rcky thoughts

I have some now and yes Rocky's is right. They are more sensitive to nute burn and OD. Can't really rely on stirips for it, but PH and PPM meters can be relatively cheap on amazon. I used ph perfect AN sensi once and it only worked about half way in. Calmag is always good to have when using ro water as well...for me anyways. Lol.

essentials for hydro:
ph up/down
quality ph meter (blue lab, oakton, etc)
ec meter
calmag
beneficial bacteria (hydroguard, orca, great white, etc)


good luck!
