I want first time grower of cannabis but I'm not a first time grower for hydroponics and while I certainly don't count myself an expert something I always noticed was rapid growth of my plants the days immediately after a feeding. Right now I'm on a biweekly feeding schedule, Monday and Thursday. Currently I feed my white widow auto flower flora nova grow and super thrive vitamins solution.
For the seedling phase all I gave it was 1.23 ml of the flora nova grow for all of 2 weeks. 3 days after the shell fell off I introduced plant revolution great white, (i'm hoping enough for only 1 gallon, the size of the aero garden reservoir).
Today I fed it:
2.5 ml of flora nova
0.60 ml super thrive
presently it has two complete nodes and is working on the third set, if it doubles by Thursday I may increase it to 3 ml but the thought occurred to me that if I see a rapid growth between now and Wednesday, would it make more sense to feed it Wednesday as opposed to Thursday? obviously not 3 mL but probably 1.5-2 and switch it too an alternating day cycle, the idea being providing a slow but steady step up of nutrients every other day to provide the plant with a constant and abundent supply of nutrients but not so much that it suffers nutrient burn at the roots.
For example:
Wednesday:
1.5 Flora nova
.30 ml super thrive
Friday:
1.6 flora nova
0.30 ml thrive
Sunday:
1.7 flora nova
0.30 ml super thrive
The crux of the idea is that by feeding it every other day and by giving it a slow step up it will experience those growth Spurs I've observed and other plants frequently and seeing as the plant is an auto flour, increase its overall size before flowering.
