Total NOOB with Hydro and I NEED the GURU's of RIU advise

I would give those seedlings 150 - 200ppm nutes to start. There is a balance where the plant will use as much nutes as it does water, so your water level will drop as it soaks up water, but your nute PPM will stay the same. If your water level drops and your PPM goes up, you have more nutes than it can eat. If your PPM is dropping, it's taking more nutes out of the water than it can drink. So, every day more or less check your PPM, ph, and water level... keep your res temps under control.

I change my buckets once a month pretty much just to clean everything down. If you stay on top of things in your rez and maintain your solution, there is no need to change your water.

here ya go. Time to read up


Hydroponics

Thanks you for the help.....

Another question.

Why don't you change the water? Do you just add mote nutes or fresh water?

Here's a tip, switch to soil... much easier and better tasting buds

  I have done soil and I am trying out HYDRO
  
  Also I have been told that the BUDS are better tasting
  
  
  
  
  
  

that never changing nute statement is about the worst advice you could get. 2-3 weeks for large res(50gal+), 7-12 days for smaller res. what the plants do not absorb will concentrate in the res and can actually poison the plant with salt buildup and other issues.

Thanks for the info....

Because doing it every week is a waste of money, effort, and isn't necessary if you maintain your res.

If ppm is low add water, else nutes.
