What would you consider light feeding? Should I mix 10% of recommended dose? Would you top feed it or poor it in the bottom of seedling tray to wick up?

1ml/Gal FPpro is ~ 0.2 EC

I used .15ml each of GH flora series and .15 of some cal-mag for 3/4 of a gallon(3L). I poured it in the bottom of the tray so it could wick up.

I was going to move them into the buckets tomorrow. I used the .15ml Wednesday night. Yellowing cont. so I made up a new batch at .25ml for 3L of water. That’s at 25% of recommended strength. I have 40 gal mixed up now with 17.5ml of each bottle (micro, bloom, and gro). That brings it to 35% of recommended strength. Should I add more or see how it does first.

Don't move them yet. Show us the roots. They look hungry. I would up feed strength again. If you haven't been overwatering you should see some healthy roots

I wasn’t sure if they were a lil too tall. Main reason I was thinking about moving was so I could give them more support.

No cal mag and up your feed. Let your roots really colonize the plug. Like 3 or 4 days on the better looking ones and a week on the stragglers at least

Should I dump the 40gal I have mixed already since I have 28ml of cal-mag in it already or can I just add more MGB to bring it up?

The first day in the tent I had 18/6 light. In the morning I thought they grew up tall so I went to 24/0 since then. They only seen dark once for 6 hrs

I would transplant when I started having to water the plug every day

I was going to change the tray water tonight to to 1ml each no cal-mag. The 40 gal mix is for when they move.

i would try to mix up just a much smaller amount for seedlings. no sense to waste that much nutes when they only need a few gallons

Bust out the calculator and do some math, mix up a ¼ or ½ gal

Yea the 40gal was for the bucket system. I’ve been using a gal pitcher to mix up feed so far

Thank you guy for all the help. Going to mix up the feed and put an air stone in it for a couple hours. I’ll post any changes I see good or bad.
