That is a LOT of fertilizer for a soil mix....and you plan on using fox nutes on top of that? Are you aiming for a living soil? If so you should maybe look in to an organic powdered fertilizer that you can top dress with after the initial nutrients have been used up (about 3-4 weeks). If you want to go the nute way, then try building a soilless medium and use that with your fox farm nutes. I have run a grow with happy frog soil that had some super soil mixed into the bottom 1/3 of the pot. I top dressed with some more super soil after 4 weeks. Other than that all I gave her was water and a little cal mag once a week. Worked pretty good.

Drastic rise in ppm using top drip in hydrotonHey... i am having a problem with my top drip on hydroton (week 1). My ppm rises dramatically over a day and a half. Im talking 300ppm to 800ppm.
Hydroton has been rinsed well before use. I have run dwc and rdwc before in hydroton without any problems. Anyone have an idea?

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mixI have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.Week 5

Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?Week 6
