hello guys .
i was hoping you could maybe give me some insight in what i might be doing wrong or lacking
i know the first time with my hydro i had far to much nutrients and it burnt the plants,the second time when i added the correct amount of nutrients in fresh water it looked as if they died from over watering.
here is my set up.
1x 100L black plastic box with lid
6x circular holes cut into the lid for the pots
2X dual valve air pumps
2 x 40 cm in length air stones ( 1 pump 2 valves per stone)
6x pots (hydro net baskets cant be found here so i took 6 regular plastic pots and drilled 3 largish holes and 4 smaller ones into the bottom)
water with a multi feed nutrient as well as anti root rot nutrient
1x water pump to circulate the water
2 x 6500k day light color grow lights each 750 lumens (will add more once past the baby plant stage)
baskets are fulled with Wood half cut shells (clay pellets not available in my country)
so yeah thats my set up,very frustrating that it has failed twice now,i really think the second time was from over watering,their is plenty of air getting pumped into the water,the air stones produce many small bubbles,my lights are timed at 18 hours light and 6 off,my air pumps stay on all the time. i was thinking of growing the plants for 2 weeks in soil till it has a big enough root system to be replanted in my hydro system?
any suggestions or help would be geart
