This is what I've learned, and other folks I've talked with tend to agree . . . When the plants are still young and small, water only needs to be flushed once every 7 - 10 days, but, when they get larger, and start consuming more nutrients (this also depends on the type of nutes being used...

I'm fairly new to this also, but am already set up and have started my "winter" hydro growing experiment. Several variables to keep track of, but as I see it, nutrients is the most important piece to this puzzle. Getting water to the roots, regulating Ph, keeping the temp within range...

A long time friend, who is far more into being a serious grower with hydroponics than I'll probably ever be, has been using the GH Flora series nutrients, with very consistently good results. Considering all the variables that can affect the plant's happiness, I like to stay with nutrients...

Very impressive - 400 amp electrical setup, 20 Kw of lighting . . . my curiosity is, that's a LOT of heat. I'm guessing you might be using 1K watt halides or something similar? Actually, excess heat from the lighting can be a good thing, up to a point. But this can also be a disaster, if...

Home built system, or manufactured system from a hydroponics company? Hi all - I've been looking at various examples of home built hydro systems, some of which were nicely done . . . but this does present a question. Recently I was at the local Home Depot, walking around with my list...

Anyone using webcam or other internet tools to monitor their hydro garden? I've been wondering about this for awhile, as it seems that having an "eye" on the garden, and possibly monitoring temp, Ph, and other such data online might really be very useful for keeping a remote garden running...

Very nice work! I like the details about the room & water temp, as this is a highly relevant issue. Nutrients (and nutrient ratios) staying in solution and Ph are going to be affected by temperature, so this is a really helpful bit of info. Also, I'm encouraged by the fact that you can leave...

I admit I'm sort of a beginner, starting out with my first serious hydro setup, though I have been studying hydroponics for a long time and watching carefully what some of my comrades are doing. One thing that I have been told many times, and various hydro and horticulture guides say the same...

Many thanks for this - this may be the best post yet. What I'm looking for here is some common sense, realistic opinions based on experience, as I embark on my own hydro experiments. I tend to agree that there are a lot of variables, and one has to be really consistent with their procedures...

Thank you for that . . . I'm new here, but all I want to do is observe and learn, connect with folks who are "concerned with growing more than anything else". I just don't get this flaming thing, at all . . . why would anyone want to get so fired up about this sort of stuff? Maybe they...

I've been reading all these various posts . . . clearly growing the superb herb successfully is something of an artform. Have had a little bit of experience growing other "ordinary" crops, but am intrigued with trying hydroponics. I like the idea of high density farming, no soil required...

Hi folks. OK, I'm definitely ready to get going with my hydroponics project, but the one question I seem to be unable to resolve is choosing the "right" nutrients. I was actually at a hydroponics / indoor gardening expo in San Francisco a few weeks ago, but I had no idea that there would be...
