Hi,
I hope some experienced grower can help me with the next questions:
This questions are for soil growers
Do you give an activation watering after transplant? is it correct to give 1/3 of the gallons of the plant of water on this watering?
Do you give 0400 EC/ppm Cal-Mag RO Water on every watering, or just when you use nutrients. (I mean in the watering without nutrients, do you use calmag or just 0000 EC/ppm RO Water)
How much water would you probably give on a 5 galloon airpot?
Do you use the chart of the nutrients you use and give the nutrients it says per week, or you use only some nutrients per week?
REGARDS

The tap water on my city is really bad, it has 1400-1800 ppm, Iquique, Chile. So i burn the plants using nutrients with it. Also i have Reverse Osmosis

I always water the pot I’m transplanting into before and after putting the plant into it. I use RO water and kelp extract for clones and transplanting, seems to help with rooting.

And do you use calmag or nutrients with this RO Water you're using for transplanting? I have this question because the soil even if it is light comes with nutrients

No nutrients or anything else when I transplant. Just the kelp extract. I think it’s 1-0-0.

Bienvenido, hermano!

You never mention pH. Pretty important and one of your first things to be testing and adjusting.

yes, so the roots can grow right into the new soil. it's best to transplant when the pot is light, too.

well rule of thumb is to give water around 1/3rd of the plants potsize. until all earth is moist. let dry out and water again before the plants leaves are drooping.
it also depends on what type of fertilizer you are using, mineralic calls for an extra 20% runoff.

this is dependant on the growth of your plant. sooner or later most of the light fert will be depleted and you'll have to feed everything. At this point, yes, always do the CalMag. And the rest of them, too.

Thanks for all your answers, finally i found a place to make this questions
I'm having calcium excess using Grotek Nutrients, metering the EC and PH always with 10% runoff RO Water (grotek are mineral), could this be for using calmag after transplanting 'cuz as i said the soil comes with nutrients ? i was using calmag on all the watering from the start of veg too

Sprinkle gypsum on top of the soil and water in with RO, no Ca issues.

Bigger issue is that I didn't see anywhere where you mentioned what "soil" you're growing in.
