Well I just finished harvesting my first grow in soil.. and have made the transition into hydro. Im doing a drip system. I've got a pump, and I seem to have a small problem. The water is not going to the small hoses that go to my plants.. its just going through the big one and then flowing back into my reservoir. The only way it actually waters my plants is if I plug it up with my finger and create pressure... then it waters..
Well I'm not going to be able to plug it up with my finger every feeding.. soooo
This must be a stupid question, but am I doing something wrong here?:?

good idea with the string.. i just dont know if its gonna be too much water at once if i completely cut it off.. and one more quick question. I still have all my old nutes from the soil grow, their ff.. and I was wondering if I could use them in hydro also to avoid buying another set?

why cant i just use the grow big thats used for soil? whats the difference if i use it at a lesser dose?

Yeah I was wondering the same.So,would Big bloom be enough for veg?I have some super shorties already flowering,but wanted to give it a kick with Grow Big

because the soil version of grow big is 6.4.4 and the hydroponic version is 3.2.6...better balance because the roots will be submerged full time in nutrient rich water and if you use the soil based one you'll burn the shit outta your plants
