First grow part 2 (the march of the yellow leaves)

I don't have any EC meters or PPM meters but still manage to sustain healthy DWC set ups. Try not hitting it with so much so soon. Once you start seeing some growth introduce the nutes. Less is not always better however when it comes to hydro and nutes. You can lose a crop with a miscalculation.

Not to start an argument here but, There is NO chance of miscalculation with a METER, I think you are lucky not having any problems without a meter/s for hydro.
There is however a BIG differance in allowables between DWC and Aero.
these ladies are on a 0.68EC or 350 ppm 5.5-5.7Ph receipe,about 1/4 of that recommended,and should yield 8-10OZ. per plant :thumbsup:they are 6 wks into flower.I have found just the opposite of what you say, in that MORE is not always better.

Latewoods Legacy (sticky at the top of this section) proves that less can be alot better than more, if ya have not read it I highly recommend it.

This may help you too. A 20 gal res is a lot for those plants. It wont hurt them at all, but it will take them a very long time to use all the nutes in 20 gal. In that time, your water will get dirty and pH may go nuts. So you may change the water sooner to keep it clean, but that is wasting nutes which is wasting money.

I recommend a 5-10 gal res for this time, once the plants are bigger they will drink a lot more. Doing this will save half your nutes. I hate buying nutes, I wish I had the money for the 5 gallon jug of GH 3 part.

Aye the bigger the rez the more fun we have lol. Until the room downstairs was finished the most I had to worry about was a 6 gal rez for my E&F but now try 40+ gal :wtf:
