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.
Cool, you build one? Let me see??? Please.
When the lights are off water 15 in 60 off when the lights are on water is full on.

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.
How are you draining?Or is it being pumped from a bucket benieth?
Wondering how to drain if just top fed(drip).Where does the water go?duuuuuuuuuuh%$@ :stoned:
"When the lights are off water 15 in 60 off when the lights are on water is full on."
is that 15secs every 60sec or 15mins for every hour???
j dog- im using a sink drain....
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.
