Hey how's your new baby? Does she have true leaves? The future of all depends on whether she does.....
I've found that most companies schedules are too high for real life. I don't think I've ever taken my plants to the top number of the companies suggestions...hint hint.
I would not call your system a recirculating system and neither is mine unless I add a water pump and circulate things that way.
Rock the best rule in hydro is this.....ALWAYS go lower when you are not sure of a problem. Anytime your plant is sick, burned or stressed it will benefit from LESS things rather than MORE....(hint hint
) Anything looks weird to you....immediately go drop your ppm number by diluting with ph correct water and pull your lights back until you know what's going on. The mistake that
most people make is always thinking that more is a better answer than less......especially iin hydro. Remember.....a deficiency can make your plant sick but overnute will kill your plant in a heartbeat.
PS....the other best rule....keep your ph between 5.5-6.2......ALWAYS.
