Thank you sir.
Good morning. Hope all is well. So total water I’m going to need is 50 gal or so I have my water meter. So are you saying you make a batch every 5 gals
I just don’t want to burn up my plants or underf feed just don’t really understand how to add nutrients in the system properly.
Mate do you not have a ppm meter, or e.c. (electrical conductivity) stick to check the water? It would make your life a lot eaiser, you can compare your mix to the feed chart provided by your nutrient manufacturer.
I did that I’m good just was looking for confirmation like I said didn’t want to destroy plants. To be on forum I would think peop would want to help if I can help I’ll exclude myself from the platform. But for me I want to help and answer questions if I can …., that’s all I have had post myself and seen others never answered. If your not into it for the grow or the finish people should just rest
I dont know why you took my reply as negative. You didnt provide a lot of info and it seemed logical to have those devices first. I was just simply pointing out something that would help.
What nutrient line you using? Does it say its specifically for rdwc or just hydro? Either way you use less nutes as rdwc (1/4 strength to begin) is more efficient. Bare in mind some hydro nutes sink to the bottom and clog pipes and resovoirs meaning regular cleaning needed especially when you see it caked up and dried at the bottom of the res. Thats why the nutes for rdwc are lighter and dont clog as much. I hated having a big res because i would have to climb in and scrub off the old nutes. Imo 2 smaller resovoirs are easier to maintain. Either way you want to change water every week to stop any nasties growing.
What I have read and and tell me what you know if you don’t mind . But when using supernatural you should use all the other additives is that true.What nutrient line you using?

Get something like hydroguard to add beneficial bacteria that stops root rot which will be the main issue in hydro. Otherwise hydrogen peroxide works well if you need to sterilise the system but it also kills off good bacteria which you want to keep.
And because hydro yields massive nugs you can easily get bud rot like i did, meaning you need to use a dehumidifier if your RH is close to 60%ish end of flower, try and keep it 50% or less last 2 weeks.
Most importantly good luck
Ive never heard of supernatural nutrients before, but if by additives you mean the calmag and hydroguard then yes, i would recommend reaching out to "botanicare" who make hydroguard and reach out to "supernatural" ,ask their opinion on dosage in rdwc. Surprisingly alot of these nutrient companies will respond quickly via email or twitter etc and provide solid information.
Well thank you . I feel I shouldn’t use it since you say you never heard of it . Do you do RDWC? And what nut line do you use . I really want it simple but I don’t think nothing simple in RDWC hydroponics lol
