I know that you usually don't flush them. But today it dawned on me that I used too much nutes on my VERY tiny seedlings the last two times by mistake.
The seedlings are not growing as fast as I like and giving too much nutes (GH Trio) is probably one reason.
So today I "flushed" them (sort-of) with ph-ed tap water to get most of the nutes out and dumped the water.
When should I give the correct amount of nutes now? Should I wait til the perlite/vermi is dry again, like a day or two...or should I give them right now? (Eg. recommended dose 2.5ml GH nutes per L, for seedlings). Obviously the perlite/vermiculite is all soaked now with the water. Just worried that a day with not enough nutes or so might kill them. For those pots I also made the mistake to possibly put them into bigger containers too early, the roots haven't really grown from the rockwool. The seedlings are about 1", very tiny 1st set of real leaves. Should I maybe not give any nutes at all to promote root growth? (At this time I don't water the pots a lot, just somewhat with a turkey baster each two days or so)
*** The other plants in my hempies are doing great...it's just a few which I should have left in the rockwool longer I guess. Haven't seen any growth in several days really with those seedlings.
