Title says it all. I'm just throwing around the idea of going hydro. I plan on using Ebb and Flow (flood and drain). I have a pretty good understanding of how it works.
Would like it to look similar to
when completed.
My mothers (assuming I get a fem) would still stay in soil, I would just put the clones in hydro.
The problem is that there isn't a hydro store where I live
, which means I don't have local access to: hydro nutes, hydro growing medium and the correct reservoir and trough.
The main difference that I see from soil nutes to hydro nutes is that the soil nutes seem to be stronger than the hydro nutes. The only nutes that I have available to me are MG and cheap crap (i guess they may be one and the same). Would I be able to use soil nutes in replace of hydro nutes if I dilute it?
Also, I've read that rubbermaid containers aren't that great for hyrdo. Again, I don't live near a hydro store, so where would I pickup an acceptable reservoir and trough at? I live close to nationwide stores like Lowes, Menards, Earlmay and Wal*Mart
For a grow medium I was thinking about using perlite, as it is
readily available. I think Earlmay might have some clay pellets. Which would be better and how many times, and how long each time, would I have to water my plants with those grow mediums?
Thank you for any input
