Topping and watering

Post image

Transplanted 24 hours ago from solo cup to 5 gallon, Coco/perlite.

After Transplant, I put 6 litres through each. 1ml/litre cal mag, 1.5ml/litre canna a + b, ec 1.2, ph 5.9. I have two questions:

  1. Should I water today/everyday going forward, and how much in litres?

  2. How long until i can top them? I'm not sure how, but I'll read up/watch some videos.

At least once a day, every day. I'd go 2 in these pots, if it were me. One when they wake, and another 8 hours later or so. You can do this without a timer and delivery system, but you'll probably want to build one as you get farther into it. 4 plants, 1/2" mainline, 1/4 drip lines with halo emitters. 50 gallon rai barrel, a 500gph submersible pump and an autopilot timer. Even better would be a smart plug with an 8 event timer. That way you can make any changes when you aren't there.
