Grow Mediums DWC EC Guide?

[Pal23]

Hey guys, very soon I'll be venturing into the land of hydro and DWC. I was wondering if anyone has a rough outline as to what ec/ppm should be used throughout the life cycle of an auto. I say rough guide as I know this varies from strain to strain. My tap water has a background EC of .3 if thats any use. If possible I'd like to know a rough EC for the following stages of growth:
1. seedlings
2. veg
3. flower
I figure if I have a base number to start with I can experiment with different strains to find their "sweet spot". Thanks for all/any info provided, will make my life a lot easier if I don't have to destroy a few seeds before getting it right!

I don't have any set EC numbers to list, but I'll give you a run down on how I feed. I use AN Sensi Grow and Connoisseur for bloom. Seedlings, I start out with 1/4 strength Sensi Grow. Around 3-4 weeks I usually bump it up to 1/2 5-6 weeks 3/4 depending on size. With my current grow I didn't have to feed full strength. Fed grow nutes til 6 weeks, this will depend on strain usually 5-6 week whenever their vertical growth slows/stops.

Bloom, I will start out at 1/2 strength work my way up from there to get the sweet spot stable. I have used full strength bloom, without the need for any bloom boosters. Hope this helps a little.

saw this on another thread, hope it helps.

week 1--100 ppm/.2 ec
week 2--200 ppm/.3 ec
week 3--400 ppm/.6 ec
week 4--450 ppm/.7 ec
week 5--500 ppm/.8 ec
week 6--525 ppm/.9 ec
week 7--525 ppm/.9 ec
week 8--525 ppm/.9 ec
week 9--550 ppm/1.0 ec
week 10--550 ppm/1.0 ec
week 11--400 ppm/.6 ec
week 12--flush
This is only a guide, and different strains can take more or like less.

Thanks to you both for your input, really is appreciated :smokebuds: I'll check out the Canna feeding schedules and start out at 1/4 strength to see what EC that gives me, if I feel like the plant can take more then thats all good.
Briman, I've seen some people starting their seedlings at .8 ec, kinda contradictory to that guide but like you said some strains can take more (or less). I'll be growing out a Blue AutoMazar next so I'm guessing she will like it rough

Hey Pal...I go with seymours plan using canna . week1 - 60ml rhizo into 15L then make up the EC to 0.9 in your case with aqua vegga .That should be good for the 1st 2 weeks ...then up the EC 0.2 every week from there ... week 3 I would start with 5ml cal/mg ... 4ml silicon ... 30ml rhizo & upto 1.1 EC with the vegga ...week 4 -6ml cal/mg ... 5ml silicon ... 15ml rhizo ... EC1.3 with vegga ... ect & so on :smokebuds:there are lots of different ways though & finding what works for you is what matters bud .:GoooAuto:
