Hey everyone I am a noob to the max and I have 2 plants that are 5 weeks old from seed and I am wondering how to feed them properly. I know I should be around 500-800ppm for the veg stage and I just went out and bought a tds meter so I can test this but my question is, if I'm using general organics nutrients and I mix up a batch of nutrients at say 1/4 strength and I end up at 300ppm or something should I add more of the same nutes or could I just use like a 20-20-20 fertilizer or something to get the ppm I want? Also if I feed my plants with say 800ppm what should my runoff be at if everything is correct?

You can feed full strength with G/O. Actually double the recommended amount. You need to start 3/4 strength. No 202020 G/O has tons of beneficials the 202020 will kill them. Run off will be different ppm almost always the plant takes in the nutrients it needs and wants.

Alright thanks guys! I haven't fed with the 202020 yet and I won't now either, just had some layin around and it got me wondering lol. Really? Full to twice strength?? I fed half strength the first time around and burned my plants lol this was at week 3, maybe they were still too young?

I feed my clones 2 shots of grow and 1 shot of everything else in a 5 gal bucket. If your mothers are well fed your clones will also want to be well fed. Carefully with the cal mag in bloom it can fluff our product.
