And FYI I've been already giving it 1.5, last turn I had 2.0ml. But I can have 2 liters of that for 5 days you know. That's wrong right ?

What up mane u need to feed with every water. U also need to let the pots dry out between waterings, at least in the first few weeks. After that you can feed every day. I think with your micro setup, you need to be growing in cups not in 1 gallon pots. Plants can get huge in coco.

Thanks mate. I've heard it's good with feed - water - feed - water ?

I've never tried it like that before, but coir has no nutrients so I feed at least from 0.8EC from day 0. I use 1 gallon pots and with 180w led, first 3 weeks wet/dry cycles to grow roots and then after that I keep the coir moist all the time.

If you decide to alternate feed/water then make sure the water is ph'd.

My water PH is at 7, I live in a town in Norway who claims they got some of the cleanest and best water in the world so that's not a problem. I also let my water stay for 24 hours just to be on the safe side. My runoff is always around 7 for some reason. I am starting to think I'm just underfeeding my plants not in strength but in how much I give them.

Im not sure what PH you are water your girls but you should be @ 5.7 and you should feed form day 1,my coco has no feed in it,as an Ec of 0.0 my water i mix my feed is Ec 0.0 so i need to add all my feeds,your run off should be come out around 5.8-6.3 coco like the sweet spot :thumbs:

I will feed everyday now, it's obvious I have to try something else cuz my babies are way to underdeveloped.. Just in 24 hours I've seen some stretching and bigger leaves from the plant and that's a good sign, a sign that I'm in the right direction.
I also grow in 1gallon pots, with 3 15W leds.. I got this on the way tho this will boost my babies ALOT : http://growershouse.com/penetrator-21x-pro

Yeah I've been feeding from day 1 just not as much as I should've.
I've been feeding then watering then feeding, there's just so little feed that the runoff is 95% water. That's why my runoff is so high.
I tested my runoff today and it was at 6.2

Just a update...
Here is 10 days later with correct feeding..


I will say it recovered pretty well, and fast.
