I still don't get how hydro is supposed to be harder than "organic".

Hydro will always be harder than growing in compost because you don't need any equipment to support the root mass
You could use a massive 50ltr pot filled with compost and 20% sand, lots dry food and water till, you will pull a good crop, no question there not saying it will be a large crop. Hydro you ph,ec pen for coco, water well you need shit loads of stuff and if the roots dry the plants can die in a single hour, I will stick to buckets and compost.

Try growing hydro without a ph or ec meter.

I grew drain to waste for years without checking, used the same nutes and after the first 6 months of never having to worry about it I just put them away. Got about 1.5 per light most harvests so I don't think my yields really suffered much. growing either way isn't rocket science, both are easy. Knowing what's actually going on in either style is very difficult and requires a lot of knowledge. I'd like to see most people who talk shit on here break down a redox reaction or explain how large amounts of ions in water changes osmotic pressure around the roots.

A lot of people forget that most of us just follow a recipe, and I would like to think that most functioning adults could do the same and bake a cake if they needed to.

Maybe so. What's difficult for one, may not be for another. I know for me with dwc, I need at least the ph meter so I can watch the drift.

Is recipe that CPR shit ? …. From McLovin or whatever the hell is name is.

It looked like some porridge

His other advice isn't much better:wall:


And by recipe I just mean people follow "coots mix" or "subcools mix" or just follow the manufacturers recommended ratios at whatever dilution they feel their plants need. It's not like most people build their nutrients from the base raw salts or source local amendments.

More proof you know nothing about growing. I should have waited to read all you nonsense and then comment.

Your right about each system being difficult and it does require a lot of knowledge, for example i can tell if my plants look overfeed and I will water a little early( reduces the osmotic pressure around the roots) as the soil drys EC peaks and ph drops causing lockout, takes experience to read the plants and see it coming.

Same with the leafs absorbing light, there a limit and the plants waste energy dealing with the extra light.

If each time is the same thing, just look at the constant, I mean, if you already try diferents brand/ratios of feeding, water, etc, etc, look/name/number/control for whatever is a constant in your grow (strain, equipment, water...) sry if I can't help you more.

I used this moonshine mix awhile back …. No cooking needed.
Some guy in a cape made it …. Seriously. It worked well for a quick recipe. I didn’t need as much as listed but tried it.
