First Dwc Sooooonnnnn

Using CKS White Widow Auto beans

iPower Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent 32"x32"x63"
1x BESTVA 600W Double Chips LED
2x 5 gal buckets
1x ActiveAQUA AaPA15L
2x 9.5" Hydroponics Air Stone Diffuser
2x 6" net pot bucket toppers
SensiGrow and Bloom Pt A&B 1L
B-52 1L
Voodoo Juice 1L
Expanded Clay Pellets

I plan on using LST and Scrog.
Im starting at a quarter the recommended dosage on the AN nute calculator for said nutes.

1. Should i use the recomended flowering nutes or what.
2. Ill be using RO water

Bump

i'd start at 1/8 nutes when they are tiny

you'll need a pH meter and a EC/ppm meter to do hydro correctly as a beginner

RO water is great.

autos are usually very light feeders so keep that in mind with nute strength.

Well im using ph perfect with RO. Do i still need to watch the ph? And when do i increase nutes? Like what are the signs? Just general green and happy?

Also. What would the suggested ppm be per week be? Sorry. Horticulture is new to me. Specifically hydro lol

i would still buy a pH meter. assuming your pH is really "perfect" could be bad news.

i follow something like this for my feeds: seedlings 0.2 EC, early veg 0.5, rest of veg and most of flower 1.2 then last few weeks of flower 0.5

One more noob question how would i increase or decrease it

that's where your EC meter comes in handy. if you start with 1/8 of what the directions say, write down what the EC is. then when you go to 1/4, do the same. you'll see a pattern and you can kinda guesstimate what your EC will be at.

reduce is easy, add RO water.

Definitely pick up an ECC/PH/?? Meter. They are worth the money in the long run and take the guess work out of daily maintenance. You can find them everywhere.

And if the solution at your recomended ratio is above the desired ec just dilute with solutiom right

Dilute with RO to bring EC down.

Ok so based on your data, heres my schedule for my lovely little lady.
All mL rounded down because no lol

Wk 1-3 (3-4 sets of TL initiates feed wk 1) 1/4 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 13 mL
B-52= 6 mL
Voodoo Juice= 6 mL
.5 EC desired throughout

Wk 3-6
1/2 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 28 mL
B-52= 13 mL
1.0 EC desired throughout

Wk 6-9
3/4 AN Nute Calc
Sensi Grow A+B = 39 mL
B-52 = 19
1.2 EC desired throughout

Rcky thoughts

I have some now and yes Rocky's is right. They are more sensitive to nute burn and OD. Can't really rely on stirips for it, but PH and PPM meters can be relatively cheap on amazon. I used ph perfect AN sensi once and it only worked about half way in. Calmag is always good to have when using ro water as well...for me anyways. Lol.

So what did you do hombre

essentials for hydro:
ph up/down
quality ph meter (blue lab, oakton, etc)
ec meter
calmag
beneficial bacteria (hydroguard, orca, great white, etc)


good luck!

Uninsulated garage in florida so yes on the voodoo.
Now please inform me on the benefits and application of great white

Great white has a very broad range of beneficials, Voodoo Juice I am not sure, but the bacciculus in Hydroguard is in Great White, along with Mychros and Rhiz's....there is a thread we're doing on the best benny formulas if I can find the link somewhere...lol, will post it back soon!
