Increase Nutrient Strength Under LED

Even though they drink less, plants under LED still need the same total nutrition. Bump nutrient strength by 20–50% — the reduced watering frequency means fewer feeds, so the extra strength compensates and keeps growth charging.

Start at the lower end of the increase and watch the leaf tips. Slight tip burn means you've found the ceiling — back off 10% and you've dialled in your mix.
