Well Mr. H2gs...
I did the same thing u did, when i first started my dwc bucket. I didn't add nutes for the first week or so... Just cuz I was being cautious... I kept my ph at 5.6 always but never added the nutes till the beginning of week two after transplant... Nd I started the nutes at a lower dose than the bottle called for too...
Idk what will work best for u, but that's what I did me mine is looking great...
Hope thiz helps!
