Hii everyone im starting my first hydro grow.Ive got four plants and theyre in the 3rd week of vegging. Ive been changing it every week. Is that too much or not enough?! And do I add nutes back in every change also?
I Just sit the net pot and roots in another bucket,I always make sure the temps are close to the res temp.Lift away, the roots don't like direct light but a few seconds during res changes doesn't appear to hurt much from my brief experience. I usually just put the plant/netpot into an empty bucket for the 30minutes - 1 hour it takes me to rinse and wipe down everything after draining. I used to try to fill extra 5 gallon buckets with some of the old nutes that I was draining so it wouldn't sit without water/food for more than a few seconds. I got lazy as time went on and stopped this and noticed little difference. I think once res change I had them sitting in just empty buckets for over an hour and started to notice some drooping leaves, but it perked right back up as soon they went back in their homes. Not sure if this is the correct way to it, just saying what worked for me. Had similar questions at first that I had a hard time finding answers to in other journals.
Damn good points, I made a dumb assumption it was some sort of rdwc and not just single dwc buckets. I'd change more often too if it were dwc. Sorry for any confusion.what hydro?? if dwc
