thanks to xcrispi for great hydro advice in setting up my system ... I changed my system to a recirculating setup, adding a 3rd reservoir which adds 4 gallons of capacity to the existing 4 gallons ... plants in second pic did stretch, due to me being out of state for over 2 weeks, but no harm done ... the simple setup allowed my neighbor to keep the reservoir topped off with some pre-mixed jugs I left behind, and pH, etc was perfect when I returned ... this time around, I ignored the common hydro-store advice I had been getting, and switched to 100% Fox Farms nutrients (Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, and Open Sesame), adding only a bit of molasses and Earth Juice MicroBlast to the mix ... the deep green leaf coloring tells me the plants love the Fox Farm products ... the leaves are almost oily, they are so healthy ... Fox Farm for hydroponics = GREAT !! :thumbsup: ... I bring springwater down from a nearby mountain, with a 138 ppm, and average 7.2 pH, it is almost perfect after adding nutes, around a 6.0 pH ... lucky me :jointsmile:
