im using the waterfarm hydro system with 4 23W (100) cfl"s and i just germinated my seeds in a paper towl and i put them in an expanding peat pellet and i put it in my net cup under my cfl's about 2 1/2 inches away from the seed and i was wandering what my pump should be running on time wise? i have it running now 15 minutes every other hour? is that too much? also i have no nutes in the water yet im gonna wait about 2 or three weeks before adding them? please help me with the pump timer and tell/give me some advice! thanks!

u have to check urself and see if 15 min is too much water

then start lightly

when you mean lightly do you mean 1/4 teaspoon of the grow and micro? i have the flora series.. i dont think i should start the bloom until flowering

when i say lightly .i mean a low ppm

hmm im not sure but it came with the water farm, it has the grow, micro, and bloom.. so idk, i think its called the flora series

Its by GH. That's what I used. Seems to be a good mix of nutes. I haver head a lot of good about AN too. If i were you just follow the back of the bottle thats what I did and had no problems. Unless you have a digital timer 15 min is the least you can do. I have hear 15 min 3 times a day. I have heard 15 min every other hour. The best way to tell is to water and watch to see how long your medium is holding water. Then you will know what to do as far as a water schedule.

thanks man my cycle is on 15 every two hours and it seems alright im gonna hand water it in the waterfarm for the first week for it to establish roots then im gonna add the nutes.. thanks!

o i thought it might be techna flora
thats what i use and the directions for the mix on that is way too high in ppm
so i gotta dilute it
