This is my first time with the Aerogarden. I wanted to know what was the best way to mix my Fox Farm nutes and give them to the plants? What is the best way so that the pH level remains somewhat constant? I will be using purified drinking water and my resivior hold just about one gallon; which I think could be usefull in making an exact one gallon mix. I've got Blue Mistic seeds. Thank you for any tips or suggestions.

I used ff on my first grow 3 months ago (flood system) at 1/4 strenth still got serious burn. Ended horrible. Switched to DWC system GH nutes...All Good Now! 3 weeks in gorgious!

I am a NOOB. I think ff is for the seasoned vet. My opinion.

Thanks but i've heard to pre-mix the solution of nutes and water and let them sit for a while then add. Anyone hear this?

Yeah, typically you just follow the directions on the bottle. It will tell you how many tablespoons to put in your gallon of distilled water. You shake and add to the reservoir. You can just make a new "gallon" every week to keep the PH levels Optimum. And just have an extra gallon of water on the side for topping off during the week. Dump everyweek and you will be str8

NOOOO don't read the bottle thats for a watering can and wont work for hydro grow. It will kill your plants go to the web site or look around on this site there is a schedule for hydroponics and FF nutrients. I'm using Fox Farm big bloom and I have learned that lesser is better. Also you will want to let it relax for 24 to 36 hours after you mix it up and re-check the ph before you use. It will go up
