well Core I always did but when you do you walk a fine line of course. Just make sure of 2 things, your soil drains really well,and only water when the soil is dry and you pot is light. When you water, water extremly heavey I mean you want 50-75% of what you pour in to run out the bottom,if you pour in a gallon you want 1/2-3/4 of a gallon out the bottom, kinda like a mini flush each time you water except your using nutes. I've always been of the mind set you have to feed them if you want them to grow. If your plants dont like what your doing they will let you know :bat: Hope that answers your question

No you don't change the water supply each day, I change my rez once a week, many people go much longer. When you grow in soil your are also slowly feeding the plant each day, the soil has nutes in it plus when you feed your girls those nutes are stored in the soil and in the plant. The reason with hydro you are able to feed constantly is you are constantly feeding the roots oxygen, hence the bubble wands and air pumps required for buckets and reservoirs.
Hope that make sense :confused:

Ok time for a little update....lets put a quick time line on this grow, 11 days ago the clones were recieved, 1st 3 days were under 100w cfl and hand fed, 8 days ago TPed into the buckets and placed under 2, 250MH, 2 days ago lights were changed to 2, 400hps and flipped too 12/12, 1 day ago I decided to FIM top them. There currently being fed 1000ppm including supps, there looking real good, its been a ever changing life for the little ones, only 1 has some tip burn issues on the older leaves but no other problems, I think its more of a shock thing than anything else, all the new growth is fine. Roots are growing out the bottom of the nets so the much antisipated hydro growth explosion is near :woohoo:
