Never give up. I lost my first 2 crops in hydro dwc when I started. Live and learn man. We all learn the hard way sometimes. You'll learn to dial it all in easily. That comes with time and experience. Keep ph in check and feed lightly and up feed as the plants tell you. Under feeding and under watering is better than doing either too much. Your plants will reward you. Hydro ph is good between 5.5 to 6.5 and soil is 6 to 7ph. Dial that in and your feeding schedule and your light distance and you will succeed. If you have any questions along the way dont be afraid to ask. That's what this community is all about. Here is a good starting point for feeding autos. All strains are different tho but this a good guideline. Some require less and some require more nutes but once you learn to read your plants your golden brother.
