What products do you use and whats your p.h/ppm for Pk.
Ive been growing for about a year and havent shared many pics. If i was going to it would probly be on this thread. Because it Never ceases to amaze.
I have a 4x8 table, a cycle timer, pumps etc. Its not in use yet. It will be in about 4 weeks so im trying to gather some good advice before i jump into it. I have no experiance with growing in rockwool or any active hydroponic system. You'll see later.
I like the sounds of your set-up. If you are going to switch it up to hydro, are you using an ebb and flow or drip. I didn't like the rockwool much, IMHO it stays wet too long and attracts gnats and mold. I am using hydroton for the first time and I really like the way the plants look. The roots seem to grow faster than any medium I have used yet. But, I have to say that a 50% coco/ 50% perlite mix is what has given me the best results. I have used RW, Hygromite, Hydroton, Sure to Grow and coco. I am still waiting to see how the hydroton works out in the end, but so far the hydroton and coco are my preferences. With the coco, you can flood your trays every 4 to 6 hours during the lights on and not at all during lights out. Coco is hard to over water. With the hydroton I have been flooding the trays every 3 hours during lights on and once during the lights out period. With both mediums, smart pots work great in a flood and drain system. You know I have been thinking of maybe using coco/perlite in the smart pots and then filling the trays with hydroton. The roots blow right through the smart pots if there is medium against the pots the roots will fill your entire tray. The down side is that the roots will grow together which would make it hard to remove a plant if you had to.
As for nutes, I like House and Garden Aqua Flakes or Cocos. I have to be honest, I haven't used anything else. I have helped a friend set-up their rooms identical to mine and he started with AN and then tried humbolt nutes, but is now using the H&G line. My results have always been a little better than his even with the same genetics. This could be due to other factors though. The Advanced worked well for him, but there is so many parts and it gets super pricey. The house and garden is pretty simple to use, just follow the charts. When you get closer I would be happy to help with dialing it in. I would aslo suggest to get a ppm meter. The reason is the plants will absorb more water than nutes at times which increases the ppms. This means when you are topping your reserviors off, you won't know exactly how much nutrients to add without a meter.
Anyway brother, I will give what ever help I can. Just ask.
as usual
