Questions from a noob in the Hydroponic section of cannabis.com

[TheKidThatLovesMary]

So last grow I had didnt work out because of money problems. I was going for organic but now I see a hydroponic setup would require alot less maintance or maybe i'm wrong. But here are a few questions of many that are yet to come.

1.What is a drip system and how does it work, can i make one? how?

2.From what I've read tonight you cant have a flowering plat on a drip system. So what do you do with a veg plant going into flower stage on a drip system?

3.This is very noobish but im still slightly confused on how and what nutrients do and how you use them so if somone could tell me this also it would be greatly aprriciated.

4.Can you lst with a hydro setup?

5.Another foolish question is what is the ph level in the water? What happens when its high/low and how do you lower/strengthen it?

Although I believe einstein once said "The only foolish question is the on not asked" so if anyone has answers to these questions please help me out and answer them. (sorry for spelling errors)

1 Drips are easy but a bubbler is maybe the easiest. I make my drip system for about 30 bucks for a 6 plant system. small Water pump and some plastic pipe for outdoor ponds and rainbird yard water stuff. 6 netpots and a 10 gallon tub from wally world. It pumps water from tub up to 1/4 inch lines to netpots full of hydrotron rocks.

2 Well those narc's got 3/4 pounds from my last grow of 6 plants. 3 Hit crippler, danks buds the size of large soda bottles. That sucked.

3 Most use general hydriponics 3 part. Fertilizer to help plants grow big buds. Easy to follow instructions on the bottles.

4 LST with hydro is the shit if you have time to train plants.

5 PH, 5.5 to 6.2 is best. Too low or high and nutes lockout. That means plants don't get the food they need.

Einstien also said he could never understand it all.
All the answers are here look or ask. Peace and hope this helps.

Nothing is simpler, easer and cheaper to grow anything then dirt. Not all dirt grows are organic btw. If you have problems getting through a dirt grow then hydro is not for you yet.

Hydroponics in any form requires daily attention on your part. Checking the Ph twice a day is a must for anything quality. Knowing the PPM or EC is just as important too.

May I suggest you get a few dirt grows under your belt first before you try and get upset at Hydroponics.

Download my show about medical growing the past few weeks have been Hydroponics 101 & 102 those are the basic to get you up to speed fast. Check the back archive for shows on dirt, organics and other growing topics that will help you. Check the link in the loungeâ??s to all my shows as well as my sig line.

Sorry I just don't want to see anyone get burned out rather then grow successfully.
