don't forget about accumulative salt/fert build up at some point in flower, flush some if your leaves are too dark and wavy

you shld be fine if you use half strength nutes according to bottle, or if you follow the instructions on strength then alternate w just water in between feedings.

ppl have problems when going full strength for weeks and the plant can only uptake so much which leads to over-fertilization.

runoff amounts and flushing is not ez to explain properly imo, just go lighter on nutes and you'll avoid the most common problem noobs have.

Adjust from runoff ph accordingly. If your runoff ph is 7, but you want 5.8, then ph down to 4.6 next time and check runoff. If your plants are going crazy from lockout due to bad ph then flush and start light feeding. With organic nutes though this info may not be accurate.

No ph-in your mix a million times is going to get your plant all shriveled up ..

I do not understand your thinking. He is not in organic soil. He is in soilless. If he mixes his nutrients and it ends up at 7.2 ph and he feeds that, nothing is goin to be available to his plants. Especially with synthetics. With liquid organics, not as important, but still something to check and note.

To the op, if you don't want to have to check ph constantly add earthworm casting and oyster shell flour to your soilless mix, the oyster shell flour will act as a buffer for your ph and earthworm casting will help break down that and the lime that is in most soilless mixes.

For your first grow build or buy a grow tent. You can use PC fans for ventalation. Also a 400 watt hps with a cooltube to pull heat from your tent. A timer will also be needed. Keep your plants 5-8 inches from the light. Using a 3 gallon pot and some miracle grow with added perlite on a 12 on 12 off light cycle will yeild you nice buds. Hope it helps.
