i dont use EC. i fill my brain every 2-3 days. its a blue 44 gal plastic drum one. i run my timers every 3 hrs for 30 seconds.
id also recommend using CANNA products.
if your green to growing indoors id try sussing out your local hydro shops and talk with them. but dont mention pot etc.....
and ask them questions : how long have you been into hydro etc, indirect questions.
dont go in there yeah im trying to grow some fat killer buds can you help me lol
youd be suprised how many people do.
the shop i go too the guys that work there have atleast 20yrs growing experience each.
was slwo going at first but there is an etiquette to talking to the people in there. id steer clear of the ones that talk pot with you straight out.
when you find a good that that offers great advice, discount ( cos you buy most all your stuff from them) they will chill out and be even more helpful then you could have ever thought.
we were all newbies once, its all about learning.
have you frown before?
indoors w perlite?
outdoors ?
Hey Jas, thanks for the reply.
Nah, I haven't grown pot indoors or outside before, so it's all super new to me. That said, I'm an ag science grad, so I'm hoping I can pick it up quick.
My main concern at the moment is the size of pots I plant my girls into. I have 3x 15L buckets that I was thinking of using as growpots. I was going to drill a hole in the bottom of each and drain from there with polypipe. I'm thinking to wet all the coco in that size of bucket I'd need to have the pump on a bit longer than 30secs each time. I'm using a med-strength water-feature pump from Bunnings ($69). I was gonna have a ring of 4mm flexi-pipe with 4x 4L/hour drippers per bucket and run it for 15 minutes a couple of times a day. Just concerned about the spread of water throughout the medium. I don't want there to be dry patches, 'cause that would reduce root penetration throughout the whole medium.
I'm thinking of experimenting with watering times/lengths before I put the seedlings in the dirty big buckets. So many variables to keep track of, lol
