Botanicare in drip system?

Hey everyone want to start by saying I am a medical patient compliant with all local laws and wish one day to provide medicine to myself in small amounts so I can function and live a productive life.

That being said I am curious. Hypothetically, would the botanicare line be usable in a drip irrigation system into rockwool. This system hypothetically would entail the nutrient being mixed weeks in advance and then pumped thru drip emitters and ran to waste. Would there be any adverse effects to leaving the mixture for extended periods or with the emitters clogging? Is there a preferred temp to keep the reservoir so as to avoid any issues like ph rising or algae forming? Please share any info you can bros I am very eager to learn.

I will repost this in the general forum and hopefully get some feedback. Thanks!
 
I would run the Lucas formula in the drip system. I would also get a Rez and not drop to waste. Its much easier and more cost effective. You'll need a good ppm/Ph meter.
 
botanicare is a great line, i have used it for yers. i have a great recipe in my thread, my 3 stages of flower, if you need ideas. it will be better to change the res every 1-2 weeks for drain to waste, but to me that is a waste.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into Lucas formula now and check the thread you mentioned. I really appreciate the assistance.
 
I run 4" inch rw cubes, on top of 6" cubes.. drip system .. 15 min cycles

I switched from coco recently and have the botanicare CNS17 soiless coco bloom,, one gallon left over.
I have started everything using GH flora series, and lucas in bloom... I have great results.

I got low on gh floramicro lately, so for the last week i have been using the cns17 and it seems to be keeping them happy also!! no problems. But i haven't done a full run with the nute and really dont plant on it..
I love the ease of GH..
