sounds like you're fine tuning your growing. keeps it exciting! don't know if i'll ever grow hydro, but i'll defn model mine after your's!
Hydro is a beautiful thing, I look at it like this, people use soil, many people use Fox
Farm so we'll use that as an example, they place their plants in the Fox Farm, and
then only have to water for the first 3-4 weeks because the plant is using the
nutes in the soil, after which they notice deficiency's and have to start feeding
the plant because it has used all the nutes in the soil... At this point your soil is
only a media, why not use a media with more air? Roots love air, coco holds
around 1000 times more air than soil, and can hold the beneficial microorganisms,
enzymes, mycorrhizae and trichoderma that soils will hold... So I'm essentially in
a mixture which carries the beneficial characteristics of soil, with the added ability
to control it like hydro. I just don't see the advantage of soil anymore, and I used
to grow strictly soil.
