Just follow the chart on the nutes and you should be good. i've never used a ppm meter and everything is perfect. Maybe i'll post you a pic soon. Hope this helps. BTW did you put a divider in the clay pellets to seperate the plants?

um u do need a ppm/ph meter u might get away with it for awhile but if things are goning wrong like burns wilting and stuff like with this thread why do u say u still don't need a meter to find out whats going on u do need it to find out and the 15mins every 3 hrs is right but when they get bigger and have a good root system u can run them 24/7 or 1 hr for every 3 off
