Ive been doing alot of reading for the last month. So now i think im ready to make the Hydroponic plunge. i think i have everything ready to go just have to make sure first. Im going with a drip system of 9 tomato plants to start. 500watts of Mh. Can someone recommend me some nutes and where to get them from? Also how fast should i drip? should it be drop at a time or a steady flow? Would really appreciate it. Thanks


P.S. My system is the 9 plant version of Zandor 40 SOG drip system.

It is what it is. No emitters just top feed. Turn on the pump and let it feed the plants. When the lights are off the plants don't drink as much so you don't need to water as much.

lights off you water 15 min on 60 min off time.

That is just a place to start the watering schedule, it's not set in stone and each strain will be a little different and may need more or less but it's a safe schedule to start with.

I started my chron plants in my drip system with a full stream 24/7 on... mid-veg cycle I went to 15 on 15 off with light on, and like Zandor said... with light off a 15 on 60 off... it really makes a difference! But mine didn't really drip, it was kind of a stream of water, but it worked wonderfully.
