Should I start over?

This is not necessarily true. You can add your ph up first or after silica. And not have to use it after the nutrients. It does the same thing. You never want to add Ph up after nutrients it can cause precipitate. Adding it before the nutrients takes the precipitate/cloudiness out of the equation..
It took me a few weeks to understand this but I smoke a shit ton of bud and rosin

But wouldnt that lead to an inaccurate ph if your nutrient solution is off in the end. Technically I dont even grow in coco but I would assume youd might have to adjust ph if your res sits for a bit. But I gues at the same time you can start fresh.

No not with DynaGro. After you put the Grow in it makes the ph between 5.8-6.2. Now with other nutrient lines then idk. I probably should have put that in the last post ...

Yes it will fluctuate a tiny bit if you leave it sit for a period of time. But it's very small maybe .2 fluctuations

Ahh I see. Ill probably never go the coco route. Too much to remember. Soil is so easy water, feed once or twice a week and you're pretty good.

Wtf happened to this is the last

Yeah I feel you on that note. I probably should have just did soil for a few grows. But I went coco and now I am hooked .

I'm not even feeding once or twice a week.

Im just following the fox farm feeding schedule loosely. I feed every 2 to 3 waterings depending on how the plant responds to plain waterings

With most soils you shouldn't need any nutes until week5-6 and then primarily just what is needed for flowering. If you are in plain old potting soil without any amendments you can utilize the nutes, but with 's pre amended soils(HF & OF) it will be week 5-6 before the plants will need anything but water.

Funny. When i started growing 3 years ago,i chose coco because it seems so easy.Almost no chance of newbie overwatering.
Growweedeasy feeding schedule,RO water,GH trio,Cal-Mag,ph to 5.8 ...et voila! No silica,no booster,nothing else.
3 years later,still doing it that way with really good success !
KISS principle at work!!!

It's whatever works for each grower.....I'm doing really spent HF with Osmocote mixed in and plain un pH'd water in my res.......so freaking easy.
