I'm sure this is covered somewhere but search won't return me any results for some reason. I am doing a single plant-5 gallon bucket setup. I have fox farm nutes and I plan on following their schedule unless someone can recommend something better. I am supposed to be getting a clone in the next couple of days. Should i be putting it directly into their solution (1 tsp GB 2tsp BB) or should I start with 1/2 strength? 1/4 strength, straight water? Also when I replenish water do i do this with straight water or mixed in the proper ratio with nutes? Also can I do this with out spending the money on a ppm meter?

Dunno about rooting clones. I go from seed.
I also use the full array of FF nutes.You CAN'T grow weed with any success without a ppm meter & a pH meter as well. Get the battery operated ones on eBay at about $25/ea. make sure you get the callibration solution as well.

awesome! I didn't know harbor freight had anything like this. I assume you have one, so I'll ask: is it accurate? and also, does it have any calibration solution, or should I look elsewhere for that?

Im doing a same exact setup with the eco grower hydroponic drip(5.7g), foxnutes, and Im look for the same answer expect with seeds...

When the seeds are done germinating and you stick the seedling in the net pot should there only be tap water in the rez (not properly or properly pH or ppm?) and if you dont put any nutes when do you start?

I'm an idiot it tells you at the bottom of the fox farm feeding chart. Should have read the fine print I guess. 1/4 strength for week 1 then I'll probably bump to 1/2 for week 2 and increase to full strength in the third
