Hello, I'm going to start growing in hydro DWC. It will not be a loop system but individual containers with air pump/stone. My question is, for 1 plant per box container and 5 plants per box container how often should I change the water (weekly, biweekly) and how much each time? (%)
Also, while we're at it, for a setup like that, how much ferts from General Hydroponics are you using on each box container? For example, the instructions for General Hydroponics tell you to add, let's say, 4ml of their N solution to 1 gallon. So, if you have a 5gal container do you add 20ml of the N solution? or you just mix 4ml in 1 gallon and then add it to 4 gallons of water already in the container?
I ask this because I'm using those ferts right now on soil and for 1 plant I use half (i.e., 2ml instead of 4) in half a gallon water and that half gallon of fert lasts me 1 week of fertilization plus regular watering over the week.
I want to know your typical maintenance schedules. Please.
