Hi, new member here. My question is if you are growing using rockwool cubes sitting in buckets of hydroton how often should you water or should you run a continous drip? I was also wondering if anyone has used dutch masters gold nutes yet? there nutrient calculator seems very aggresive , any info or help would be greatly appreciated thanks:thumbsup:

I guess I'll ask ?
Please try to give us alot more info on the setup. How big is the rockwool ? how big is bucket ? Is it a drip system or how does it drain ? If you can't show us pic's then please paint a picture with words.
Would love to try Dutch Masters I would stay with the mix unless you see the tips of leaves burning yellow. The just back off a little.

thanks for the reply. I think the cubes are about 4x4 in 3gallon pots of hydroton, the rez is 30 gallons running drip rings. im only watering 4 times a day for 15 minutes, im about into week 3 and everything looks ok but i think i should probably bump up my watering, anyone who has any advice it would be appreciated thanks

OK, if your plants look like they droop just before the next watering then yes bump it up to 6 or 8 times aday. As they get bigger they will need more water. Just don't drowned them.lol
