Best/easiest nutrients for a hempy noob?

Bato buckets work great but get the biggest you can find. They are perfect with the little res in the bottom in case power is lost. You can also easily move them about.

I'd say go to your local nursery and see what they have to offer, sometimes they will offer their own organic teas, top dressing, and other solutions that are super simple. Start with some pre-made teas and then you can bubble your own.

I wonder how using a drip system affects that bottom reservoir, it seems that if you drip the reservoir won't be sucked up from the top as much, nor will it be refreshed as much. Or does it drip enough to actually recirculate?

Why, because of the draining issue you have/had? Surely that can be solved.

My crystal ball says no You can get the same yields with either.

i just want to build 1 or 2 buckets just to do side by side compares.. im fixing the set up so the one im useing is garbage because i glued all the 90's on so im starting from scratch w/ a hole new design..as for ur question about the drip system, i have it in my bloombox and works great, the res has 4 12'' bubblers in it and the drippers only kick on once a day for 15 min, i think the only thing the dripers are for is to water the plants till the roots are down into the res, once the roots are long enough u can shut the drippers off and plants would still b just fine, but i always leave it on to run once a day..i get no less than a qp out of the 9 plants in the bloomside of the bloombox every run.. its yielding better per plant than im getting out my home made system,, but i think thats about to change after my rebuild and topping i think my home made system will do double or more than this run thanks to yours and others tips.. im only getting 1/2 of what u said i should be getting in that area, so changes are being made.. i truly hope i can reach the goal of 2 lbs per run in that area..keep watching, ill keep adding pics, and next run all will be topped and lower branches trimmed.. if i could just grow 1/2 as good as u ill get that 2lb mark...as always thanks for the tips and knowledge u pass on.
