When using a soil less mix I would assume I need to fertilize every day when I water them. What would that look like? I also know that I should be checking Ph when I mix the ferts. Also, would I be checking EC and PPM or is that specifically for a "real" hydro grow where water is flowing. Any help is apreciated.
a good rule of thumb with a soiless medium like sunshine mix is feed-water-feed-water. Just alternate them back and forth, making sure that all solution given to the plants is within proper ph range. If you see signs of overfertalization, tone it down a notch. Be cautious with the cal mag when you get into flower, the extra nitrogen it provides will sometimes give you the dreaded "claw" on your buds. The thing to understand is that the plant will tell you what it wants. It just takes a while to learn each strain.
