While I'm quite the newbie I can honestly say from experience that starting on a lower PPM (perhaps 400?) and seeing how your plants react is far better than starting with a higher PPM. You can always add if they react positively, but removing if they react bad is more hassle and a lot worse for...

Just have one more question now.. I've been thinking about buying an air pump to aerate the water but I was wondering if I could put it on a timer to come on 30mins before watering (timer turns the water pump on) and leaving it on throughout watering, or would I have to leave it on all of the...

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I'll give it a go and I'll post back in a few days/weeks when I have everything I need and I've set it up to let you know how I've got on. Once again, I really appreciate it and you've helped a newbie out a hell of a lot.

Hello, I'm quite the newbie myself, but having made this mistake myself I figured I'd write this so I can help as many people as possible avoid the situation I put myself in. I bought myself an EC meter which displayed as PPM, little did I know that depending where you live different formats...

First off thanks for replying, really appreciate it! What are you using to time it for every 2 days? All of the timers I've seen are 24 hour ones. Do you run it to the point that the soil is soaking or just moist, because that's my main problem. I guess from what you've said it's pretty much...

Interesting, so anywhere between 5.5(or 5.8?) and 6? I read around quite a lot and I found a lot of conflicting opinions about the right PH for coco/perlite and I just went with the average/most recurring but if you've had results with that PH I'll give it a try on a couple of them, if that...

Hi, I started feeding them when they sprouted their first set of true leaves came through. The instructions state 1ml/Litre of water for seedling but I was feeding around 0.5ml/L which shouldn't really cause too much of an issue seeing as it's a VERY mild solution. After seeing results and them...

Hello, This is my first post so first off I'd like to say hello to everyone! I've been using advanced nutrients 3part in a Coco/Perlite mixture and I haven't swapped the nute/water ratio for a while, so I'm kind of stumped how they've all of a sudden developed nute burn out of no where. I've...
