Hey all, I havent posted in a while.
I have been a soil grower for 4 years.
This time I'm making the transition to hydro.

My question,
Im growing this round in soiless.
Straight perlite and vermuculite.

When do I start giving them nutes. Or super thrive, or both? Some have popped out of the surface, and soon the others will too.

So when do I start giving nutes and how much?

The strains are lemon skunk, and some sativa landrace..

Can anyone tell me when and how to start nutes in perlite and vermuculite medium?
I have, grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom.
Thanks in advave

Start with clonex solution
Bonjour
I don't know in US but in EU clonex is used to make cuttings!!
I would have started with some roots nutes...but since you do not have some I would feed her with grow big at 25% of the dose after a week and increase as they get older and bigger!
Have a great day ★

But he should feed his plants soon anyway!

It's used in aeroponic cloner. Mild enough for unrooted clones to just rooted. I've left in cloner with that nute until they are 12" tall lol. Great stuff that doesnt burn

I've kept clones alive and healthy for months in 1 inch rockwool cubes with Clonex solution. It lowers the PH of water from 7 to 6 and despite the resulting 8-900 PPM the plants love it. I started using it at half strength in rockwool, quarter strength in hydro cloner and still works great.

There is no caution exchange in 80% perlite 20% vermiculite. So no buffer very fast changes. I love hempy. I use 20 gallon rope tubs for trees. I put 2" of Grow stones at bottom for resviour.
