This is my first grow so I want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
Here's a little background on my grow:
6 plants, 1 week old now (Snow White from Nirvana)
400W MH lighting
DWC setup (rockwool and hydroton medium)
4 reservoirs (1 reservoir has 3 plants in it, the other 3 have just 1 plant)
I use tap water with an out of the tap PPM of ~50
My little guys are about 1" tall now.
I've been reading up quite a bit on the subject of whether or not to add nutrients to my water for my seedlings.
Most people on the board seem to agree that, no, it's not a good idea.
Most of the FAQs and the distributor of my nutrients (Advanced Nutrients), say yes, the PPM for seedlings should be 200-300.
If most people's solution is to not use nutrients this early on ...why? What's the harm at that low a level?
I'm just a new grower looking for as much information as possible.
I appreciate any information you guys or girls can offer. Thanks!
