Water and Nute ???

[Casanova23]

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.

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.
