I'd like to try a bubbling bucket/deep water culture. What's the best pH for growing that way and when do you start adding nutrients?

You start feeding from the time they are born, I start at 400 ppm 0.8 ec and increases 100 ppm 0.2 ec every week as long as your seeing good growth. Your ph is best kept at 5.8 throughout your veg cycle and 6.3 for flowering. Max ec for most people growing in hydroponics is 8 to 900 ppm 1.6 to 1.8 ec. Best to keep water as cool as you can keep it. Cheers

5.8 ph is usually what people do. 5.5-6 ph is a good range. You can start feeding after a week or 2 at about 250 ppm of nutrients.

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Hope this is ok to post, looking at having a go at hydro on my next grow mainly to cut down on maintenance. What are people’s thoughts on the two systems one is stranded bubble the other one has a dripper I’m guessing will help at beginning of the grow. Thoughts please 🤙
