Hydro Bubbler System ?

I have been growing in a hydro bubler system for six weeks now and plants are about 8 to 10 inches high. I have read post about how you guys are doing and I think that I should be a little bigger by now. Also my leaves are a light green not brown or yellow but seem to be not as dark green as they should. I'm presently useing a 7-9-5 Grow food called dyna-gro that came with my hydro kit. I do have some miracle Grow that is 12-4-8. Which is better to use and why? Also do I have to flush a hydro bubbler system since the roots are in the water all the time. Is it okay for me to use spray bottle on the leaves with a very highly deluted plant food or is this no no. You guys and girls have been a great help to me on this message board and have gotten me this far I hope that you can help me agian. Thanks Bizzy


P.S. I'm presently use 1000w light so I don't think light is my problem with the Leaf color

I wouldn't use the spray bottle. Your nuet's should be 1/2 of what GH suggests in their feeding chart since it is a bubbler system. I use bubblers and they work great.

Hi Bizzy,

When was the last time you checked you ph and ppm levels? I hope that helps.

Dude

Ph was tested at 6.6 and I'm not familar with the ppm test how is that test done

Good tool to have in your hydro system. Gives you an idea on how much your plants are absorbing on a daily basis. A pocket TDS meter is faily inexpensive and you can buy a decent on e from sprite industries. 800-327-9137
