A few quick tips for a first timer.Thanks @Aqua Man!
The plan is to run sterile for the first couple grows with weekly rez changes.
Thanks for the input!
I think while you're learning exactly what your plants eat, it would be good to get rid of it. More so to have consistency with your tds/ppm. It's hard to determine what the plants are eating if you leave the left overs in the res. I just pump out what I can and use a wet dry vac to suck out the rest. Eventually you'll see what they need and won't have to change your res as often. I went from changing weekly to no changes at all on my current grow.
A few quick tips for a first timer.
Change the nutrient solution no less than once you add back the volume of you system.
If using peroxide use 30-35% food grade hydrogen peroxide and apply every 3 days. Making sure to dilute it before adding to the res.
Make sure your source water is adequate in ppm and alkalinity.
Record tour test results daily as they will help as early indicators to issues.
Sounds like your good to go. Just make sure your adding back cal mag, micros and adequate alkalinity when using RO if your nutrients aren't designed to.Thanks @Mospeada. I agree while learning the ins and outs it would be beneficial to have the ability to track everything exactly.
I should be able to vacuum out the front two buckets during the grow without too much hassle. That would leave about 2 gallons trapped in the other two buckets which is better than 4 I guess. Unfortunately, I only have access to the front of the tent due to where it sits in the laundry room. Accessing the lids of the back two buckets during the grow won't be possible once the scrog is in place.
Thanks @Aqua Man. I think I am all set in that regard. RO water, spreadsheets, 35% Hydrogen Peroxide, BlueLab Guardian with wifi on the rez, etc. I have read countless Hydro threads while choosing what kind of system i wanted to build and countless more figuring how to run it properly.
I have grown using flood and drain many moons ago so I do have some experience. There is so much information out there now that there is internet and forums like these!Now that it is legal in Canada, the hydro store doesn't seem to be as much of a "covert operation" as it was years ago. HAHA!
I appreciate all the feedback!
That is looking amazing! Great workHere's a quick update. So far so good with the 1st grow.
Vegged for almost 5 weeks with 2 toppings and lots of training.
Currently day 11 of flower.View attachment 1048595View attachment 1048596
