You can start by offering what you are going to use. Some nutes like BC-Boost/Grow and Bloom you can cut pretty much in half. If you use what they tell ya, you will find the you will start to have problems right from the get go. Get a good timer for your pump. You should set your drip up for 30 mins every couple of hours at first, anymore can create an over watering condition that you will not like. You also can cut off your pumps when it is dark since the plants will not be feeding as much when not in a veg growth such as in the evenings. Much of your first hydro grow will be a learning experience, play around with things and see what works best for your strain and conditions.

Offer a little more detail, and I am sure you will get the information you desire.

A good rule of thumb is to check once a week. Change water and nutes. Keep your ph correct daily if you can. I go a week with no issues, and water tmp between 70-73.
