Man after my own heart. I when I started using soil it was a slow switch iver but I tried everything from MG too Roots Potting so they are all mixed everyware. LOL
Ya I used to worry too. I'm still in shock really. For a while I worried out of my comfort zone not always testing tds ph. Being on auto
Pilot is crazy. I just catch all my AC water and use that. My AC will fill 4 55gallon barrels i daisy chained together in like 3 days lol. All the water I need. And no water bill LOL that's another thing with hydro is all that water.
I only remove the root ball out of my buckets the tables I just turn with a shovel with 4 cups of organicare bloom, 2 cups of dolomite, 2 cups of Epsom starter plus. And I just break up all the roots and any leaves right in there. The bennies take care of the rest. I put a dry stem in my table one time and kept going back and checking on it and in like 3 weeks it was gone. Completely broke down.
I just brew ancient forest and mycro- grow and molasis in a 5 gallon bucket and split it between three 30 gal Rez and water with that every other time. And they get food the rest. I only water or fed three times a week. No matter what. Mon wends fri. And between them getting that and being rooted into the beds it's perfect. I keep everything consistent. I even change my AC filter every fri. Cause that makes a difference believe it or not. And ya I hear ya on the different strains. I run all different for each week. Side by side lol. And just LST them all around each other LOL.
My synthetic food is. Veg. Nova grow, Hydro zym, bonticare cal/mag all 5mil per gal.
Bloom week 1-2 Nova Bloom, Cal/Mag, hydrozym, Liquid Kool Bloom 5mil per gallon. 2 mil or Rhini skin and 1mil of Carbo Load. Then week 2-4 I add Bloombastic 1mil per gal. And weeks 5-6 add 2 mil per gallon of over drive. Then flush with molasis water only till they are done and everyting is spot on.
Flavor and smell and taste. I'm happy. One thing I learned for me was having unlimited space with my beds gave hydro speed and yeilds. When I just was doing buckets I could see a difference with all that from hydro.
But man sounds like u got ur system down to a science. Ya I got a few if the CB strains havnt ran any yet. But hope to here in a bit.
