I am not interested in the hassles of hydroponics and will be going with a soil-less medium running general hydroponics flora series nutes. I have used these nutes for years and love them.
Previously i have used a medium made up of Sunshine Mix #4, Fox Farms Ocean Forest and added some perlite but i cant remember the proportion i used. It may have been 1 large bail of SS#4 to one bag of FFOF does that sound optimal?
My goal is to create a medium that is idiot proof as my green thumb may be rusty. The sunshine 4 has ph buffers (lime) which will make my job a little easier and keep the FFOF from slowly lowering the PH.
Can anyone think of anything they would add or substitute to make for an even easier medium? My main concern is PH lockout and over/under watering/feeding.
I will be using distilled water and ph testing every feeding around 6.5, does this sound right?
I assume i will need a cal/mag booster for the distilled water along with some MOAB to add to the flora nutes for late flowering. Do i need to be using anything else? Advice?
