I have a patient who likes hydro so I am going to set up a flood and drain table soon just for his card. Pellets and House and Garden nutes should do the trick for medium and food. When I get new strains i run two cuts,one in rockwool,and one in my regular soil. It helps me figure out the plants feeding schedule and needs so I can apply that info to my soil runs if I decide to keep the new plant. I'm glad this board is talking about growing again
