happygrassstarted grow question 3 years ago

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.

Overwatered cubes in hydro? Too close to the sun? or effect of having add Hi All, I have issues with my first hydro grow - i effed up. I think i was too slow in the transfer over in the tank. Light is 200 PPFD, EC at 0.6, and barely added any nutes. Did i manage to overwater some of these plants by having them too close to the net pot?

Mold on soil I 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?

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mix I 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.
