I'm going to be running 4 clones in a DWC system. I plan on cleaning/draining once every 10 days. Using advanced nutrients a friend gave me. Going to run 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower.
The Setup
600W HPS / Ballast
(4) 5 Gallon Buckets
(1) 25 Gallon Reservoir
(5) 4" Airstones (One per bucket/res)
(1) 317GPH Water Pump
AN Grow/Micro/Bloom
Some Questions/Suggestions
I'm a bit confused with the science of using a reservoir and mixing in the nutrients. Do I mix in my nutes/water/ph in the res and then fill up the buckets with that water? Or do I fill up the buckets/res and then mix the nutes/ph into the reservoir. Do I have to ph/ppm test individual buckets or just the res, etc etc. I just can't really grasp the concept.
Also should I get additives, or just stick with the basic nutes that I have. I've researched and lurked a lot, and I'm trying to do it right the first time through. Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated. Saving this spot, for now. Updates to follow.
