Always use feed, water evenly until run off, and don't let the plant sit in still water. You will get good growth.
Is my seedling over watered?? HELP!!

@Grower610 There's one now.
edit: I also loosely follow Budzbuddha's FFOF thread - simple and it works.
Thanks for the Info I’ll definitely take a look at the harley smith vids.What brands do you recommend for microbes and kelp? I currently feed with calmag and general hydroponics 3 part nute system(bloom,micro,grow)
Thanks for the response.That’s exactly what I’m currently using
Wow beautiful plants and awesome set up

I like the raw brand but just get the bloom microbes if you go that route as the bloom and veg is about the same no use buying two different products.
kelp bio bizz makes a good kelp. I think im using general hydroponics kelp now though i dont remember....I think as long as its cold processed or something like that you should be good with any kelp.
I just moved to socal from Vegas but in Vegas it’s also crazy hard

I really liked RAW brand but it was costing me a lot to run it in hydro.
Even at the plants young age or should I wait until it’s slightly more developed/bigger?

dont know how big your set up is but I used to just dip out a couple of gallons out of my res after I did a water change and after I did a flood (ebb and flow) and just hand watered the top of the pots like a cup and let that sit till the next watering. and everything at the top wouldnt get washed away in the next watering seemed to help some. Nice fuzzy roots at the top of my root ball.
My understanding is that microbes dont do much in hydro like they do in soil but the do buff up the roots and keep root rot away.
this way im not trying to inoculate a big rez with an air stone just the pots once a week or every water change I would top feed my plants with microbes added in

What size pot? Use a pint for every gallon. It won't send its root out if the only food and water is at its base.

Really dry pots might need more than a pint. You don't want your medium to fully dry out when using coco, it leads to root death fast.
It’s a 3 gallon fabric pot

I used recharge for a while when my grow environment was bad, it kept the plants growing through heat stress. I don't use it anymore though, its gunky.
When using their bloom mix, it was costing me like 15$ a reservoir per week. It seems it would be great as a top feed, I loved the growth it gave.

Try 3 pints, water slow and evenly, use feed not straight water. The three pints might not make runoff with how dry your medium is, but just try that for now. You have to take a little risk or your plant will stay pet size.
I watered very heavily a couple day ago and I got the same symptoms very droopy leaves and it looked like it wasn’t growing at all after airing out the coco and making some vent holes by the plant it dried out and perked back up but after watering a day or so later with nutes I got the same results droopy plant and I used less water this time

Water till run off, pH 5.5 and Ec 1.3 and if that doesn't work check the climate.
