Well...I'm doing a DWC setup with a 10 gallon Rubbermaid. I'll also be gettin my 3 part GH nutes in the mail within the next couple of days. I'm wondering when I get my system set-up and running, how much water should I add to the Rubbermaid and do I start of with nutes in the water to start them off?? Im very much new at this as far as growing in general, but wanted to give it a shot
If you are starting off your seedlings in this rubbermaid then no nutes. It is also not a matter of how much water but water level. Fill the water so that it is touching your grow medium until the roots grow and fall down into the water. Then you can lower the water levels.
How much water should you use then? Well fill it up and see how much your plant drinks between water changes and use that amount plus a little more so it never goes dry.
preciate the advice herbie. Im pretty pumped about gettin this started. so when should I incorporate the nutes then
Apply when they have several sets of leaves. Just start slowly and figure out what is the ideal size to give it full strength nutes. From then on you can just give it no nutes until it gets to that size and go to full strength.
iight i'll do that, thanx for the prompt feedback. Im still waiting on the rest of my things for my DWC setup so...in the next couple of days i'll be gettin started
Well my GH 3 part nute system came today as well as my superthrive and my ph up and down. As far as the superthrive, how or can I use that now and if so how do i administer it? I read not to give them the nutes til I see several sets of leaves so Im ready to get this started. pray all
You can definitely add superthrive to your waterings for seedlings. Make sure that you only use a drop or two, no more, per gallon of water.Quote:
