I would hold off til day 10 brother! I know your excited to see what she's going to do but u don't want to over do it. Less is more my friend. Like fugzy said she is looking amazing for day 8. Day 10 you can hit her with some nutrients. 1/4 strength of what the feed schedule says. And I believe you said you are going to do the water until run off method correct? I'd wait until day ten and do that. If done correctly you will need to do this about once a week.
I highly highly recommend watering in smaller amounts each day with a midway cleansing/flush. This way if you mess something up it can b changed quickly. Small feeds everyday are easier then hoping you feed right once for a whole week.
Which ever way you feel most comfortable with will work fine though. I would feed water feed until you get the feel for things honestly. I've not used gen hydro yet so I'm only trying to offer what I can back up for sure to make sure I don't guide you wrong. We will b here the whole way brother.
Day 10. 1/4 strength. Check your PH. Make sure your water is straight. Watery all the way to the edges SLOWLY letting everything soak in. Give breaks and wait to see if there's run off. Don't want to overt do it or your just wasting nutrients this early. Watering until run of I believe is just to help clear out build up. ..which won't happen for a few feeds honestly. ..

I agree 100% with this, and is what I do also. I know its like we keep saying don't over water, but water every day... and we are I guess lol. You don't want the soil soaked, you want it moist. If you take a hand full and squeeze it, it should kinda mold you your hand, and easily crumble when you let go. If water comes streaming out of it, then there is to much. It take a bit of getting used to get it right, but when you get, you'll always know how to react to your water needs.:smoking:

I would probably do smaller feeds like every other day so do I still water till run off or split the gallon into a few feeds

Id mix up just a liter. give 1/4 of it each day. Do this twice and you are going to b upping your feed so you would waste almost a half gallon of premixed nutrients. These only get a liter a day every day. 5 gal reg pots...20 or so days from chop, maybe slightly longer. ..

Plant will still only eat so much right now. With 7gal air pot try half a list a day right now at a maximum. Honestly 1/4 should do it until about day 15 or so. Your roots are not much Larger than what's above keep in mind. If you over water with feed in it and it dries in the soil before the roots gets to the edges and absorbs it, it can sit there and build up and cause PH problems later in the grow possibly
