Could really use some pointers.... building a 6 pail top flow 1 inch back to rez ... just want to get the best bang on my meds:cigar: this growing is very rewarding:wideyed:
Others have way more experience than I do, but Ttystikk gave some advice that I am following for my first grow - do what the manufactures recommend. You can find the recommended feeding schedules
here for GH Flora, both a basic schedule and an advanced. I'm running
Botanicare and I'm following their advance formula but I'm not swapping the solution out every week. I ran 4 weeks of Veg and 3 weeks Bloom so far without changing solution. My system is about 160 gallons, it would cost a lot! I just add a fresh mix when my main res is low. At flip I started adding bloom nutes to make up so I transitioned from veg nutes to bloom nutes slowly over 10 days or so. I am going to treat with Drip Clean then drain most of it out this week and refill just to play it safe. Just sharing this in case you also wish to choose not to change solution every week.
I just built my first room but I'm rather proud of some of the set up and plumbing - search Wild Rumpus in grow journals if you think seeing some other stuff would be helpful.
