Hydro Bubbler System ?

[bizzy9]

I have been growing in a hydro bubler system for six weeks now and plants are about 8 to 10 inches high. I have read post about how you guys are doing and I think that I should be a little bigger by now. Also my leaves are a light green not brown or yellow but seem to be not as dark green as they should. I'm presently useing a 7-9-5 Grow food called dyna-gro that came with my hydro kit. I do have some miracle Grow that is 12-4-8. Which is better to use and why? Also do I have to flush a hydro bubbler system since the roots are in the water all the time. Is it okay for me to use spray bottle on the leaves with a very highly deluted plant food or is this no no. You guys and girls have been a great help to me on this message board and have gotten me this far I hope that you can help me agian. Thanks Bizzy


P.S. I'm presently use 1000w light so I don't think light is my problem with the Leaf color

I wouldn't use the spray bottle. Your nuet's should be 1/2 of what GH suggests in their feeding chart since it is a bubbler system. I use bubblers and they work great.

Good tool to have in your hydro system. Gives you an idea on how much your plants are absorbing on a daily basis. A pocket TDS meter is faily inexpensive and you can buy a decent on e from sprite industries. 800-327-9137
