Flood table question

i have recently bought a flood table and do not have my pump system set up. Can i hand flood the table ??? if so how much water?? and how long do i let the water sit in the table with plants ?thanks i will also post a pic,

Just water each pot by hand and catch runoff. Those coco plants are overwatered and underfed. You could prolly go 3 or 4 days between waterings. When you setup the pump you only need to water until it starts to drain. I water for 15 minutes cuz thats the minimum setting for my timer and it takes a few more minutes to drain out completely so up to 20 minutes total is safe.

so just normal watering from above ?? or i fill the flood table and let them suck water from the bottm ?

and what do you mean by underfed exactly? i was trying to holf off on nutes until they rebounded....i got these as clones a week ao and transplaneted the clones with rockwool into the coco pots.......

Hit 'em with nutes yo.... from the top. You should seriously consider a drain to waste drip setup for em.

this is my first grow and i just recently got nutrients but i dont know how to mix the parts correctly

i have a three part system from general hydroponics its includes Flora Bloom 0-5-4, Flora Grow 2-1-6, Flora Micro 5-0-1

I've never used GH Flora. Just go by the label until you know how the plants will respond.

Hey bro! Welcome to RIU check out the link in my sig, we have been discussing flood tables, coco coir ect. recently

right on thanks for the welcome......btw i am an idiot with numbers.....after reading the bottle i still dont know how to mix parts to parts....and it says in earlygrowth i should only do 25% strength....so how do i mix the parts correctly.??

is it flora nova ? it should be 1tbs per gal for little plants 2 tbs for med size and 3 for big plants ... it your clones are only 2 weeks i would do 1-2 tbs per gal of flova grow

.50 strenth would be 1tbs nute to 2 gal

.25 strenth would be 1tbs nute to 4 gal

That is an unreliable way to mix you nutrients do you have a TDS pen?

he just got nute and doesnt even have a watering system i dought he would have a tds tester or a ph tester....

I have used my brand of nutes for years so I can pretty accurately measure them without a pen. I do use my bluelab to monitor and still check however. He needs a TDS pen . . .

we all need a tds pen .... but some of use dont have one
