Hey Guys i would just like some advice on this set up i am about to build.
I am growing in CoCo in 15 Litre Pots and i water my pots until there is run off ( Alot of run off ) as soon as the lights come on. I find that this is perfect because it allows for the CoCo to dry our before the next Feeding so it allows for a good Water to Air Ratio and my plants are loving it and it seems to be working for me. NOW what i would like to know is EVERYONES opinion on this set up i am about to make.
15mm PVC Piping with 4 360 degree sprayers on each square.
2 Reserviours one filled with Nutes and a PH of 5.8 and the other filled with Harvested Rain Water with a Natural PH of 6 ( I live in South Africa and our rain is pretty much pure ie no acid rain and shit like that)
What i would like to do as i have read up that plants store nutrients in their roots and a plant will take up nutes or water when is needed. So instead of Feeding my plants nutes every single day and having a salt build up then having to flush once a week i would like to do the following.
Monday Nutes
Tuesday Pure Rain Water
Wednesday Nutes
Thursday Pure Rain Water
Friday Nutes
Saturday Pure Rain Water
Sunday Nutes
Sunday and Monday will be the only days it gets a double dose of Nutes. This way the plants gets a flush every second day it will store and use up all Nutrients by the time the next feeding is scheduled for and yeah lol i have added a pic so you can kinda get the idea. Also non return valves will be used to stop water entering into the nutes res and visa versa.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS SET UP AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DOING HYDRO FOR A WHILE YOUR INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
