New to hydro need info please.

Basically i have a 4 big pot qilma system i an srarting with pebbles and i was wondering what nutes to use and how the feeding scedual works.

I will be geiqing strait from seed in root riot plugs and putting them plugs inro rockwool into the wilma pots. I am going to be using 400w hps right the way through both stages.

Thanks for looking and help please..

I like Techniflora BC products, especially if you are new. They are simple, not too expensive and effective in my humble opinion. The feeding schedule is easy to follow, and the amounts suggested, which are giving in PPM, are very accurate, even without a PPM/EC meter, but you will need one anyway along with a PH tester. Peace

Technaflora is a good starter product but i would start at 50% strength and go from there.

Cropking Hydro-gro is really cheap 2 part dry mix.

One part is 4.5-14-34 with the micros while the other part is yara calcium nitrate, which is 15.5-0-0 and 19% calcium.

You can get 0.5lb of each in a set for 10 dollars which would last a long time.

This place also sells individual salts, but the hydro-gro mix with calcium nitrate would be a great starting mix without breaking the bank. It's also a lot cheaper in bulk.



This is the same place I get my salts btw. I've saved so much money not buying into big brand diluted salt companies and it works exactly the same if not better. No bullshit dyes or scents or special vitamines,etc.

So there's where you get your bloom boosters. Just use their mono potassium phosphate for 3.90 a pound. I highly recommend this route. It's better and cheaper than diluted nutrients with heavy marketing campaigns.
