use 1/3 of what they say to use for 2-3 weeks into veg then bump it up to half make sure you use the "grow" for veg and "bloom" for flower

Yes i have used BC nutes and only BC nutes, do a 1/3rd of whatever they call for per 1 gallon so if its 15ml per gallon use 5ml, make sure u get some magi cal and ph up and ph down as well. If you are growing in water use only non organic nutes

What they do for me:

i ment to sayyy the medium or whatever

the top is green, and the soil on the plants to the right doesnt have any green stuff on it

cus i read that when u do dwc system to cover the hydrocotin so green stuff wont grow but this one seems like its doing fine without it
 
From my experience so far, I can say the lucas formula is great! You can find it on google, just type in what is the lucas formula. Its cheaper and there are less reservoir changes. Make sure you monitor your water too. Good luck
 
You want to remove the wrapping on your rock wook cube, your choking it because the roots want to grow out the sides as well as the bottom! Also fill in the net pot with hydroton or perilite such that the top of the rockwool cube is also coverd up.

Whats the water pump in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket for? Are you drip feeding as well as blowing bubbles? You can get rid of the drip feeder after the roots hit the water, thats what I do anyways. Good luck and happy growing!
