**im running 4 5 gal bucket dwc's, for reference**

can someone please just spell out plain and simple, an answer to these nutrient questions? im having a hard time finding them by searching, and if you would rather link me to a diff thread that answers them, im glad to read through it

1. how do you mix the nutrient compounds?
2. how do you measure them?
3. how often do you add them?
4. what can i use to sprout instead of rapid rooter?(there are no hydroponic stores around me so i dont know where i can get any of this stuff, trying to avoid buying online as much as possible, where can i find some of this stuff?)

First you have to find out what brand of nutes. Questions one through three pertain to this. Then there are many factors will come into play.

There's alot of good reading for you. You have to do your homework.
I think buying online is much safer than at a local store. We just got a local store and the guy there will tell you the narc are watching and they want to see his security camera all the time, which he doesn't like but lets them see it. I wouldn't buy anything from him, just check out the store. It's sad. Just don't use ebay or paypal, they will them local cops everything. I have had no problems ordering from sponsers.

Wow the place you guys live must suck! Where I live (Norcal eh) there are 3 hydro stores within a couple miles of me and they are all very nice, relaxed, and good people. Not great prices but factor in the shipping with online orders and the waiting and honestly, I would think its almost worse to do online stuff. I think its easier to phish stuff about whose buying what and where its being sent off the internet then trying to watch a hydro store and watch security cameras (which sure sounds illegal to me). It probably also costs a lot less and uses less resources. It does eliminate the threat of local authorities a good bit which are probably the worst threat but still...from a security standpoint I think they both suck.

You should move to Norcal, Locnar. Ive read a little about your situation and it sounds like you could benefit from the more relaxed environment. The California coast on its own can sooth almost any stress; combined with some of the most perfect growing conditions in the world...its a great place to be.
