Getting ready to start first Hydro Bubbleponics Grow

Just a few Questions and Comments.
What are you using for your water source?
PBPro will add approximately 300 ppm's per 5ml.
2.5ml is plenty of for the Hydroplex.
I didn't see any cal-mag supplement.
If you had to start again I would of went with the CNS-17 line up. Half the price and a little more balanced than the PBPro.
I run CNS-17 at 10ml per gallon and 2.5ml of Hydroplex and 4ml of Cal-mag which runs me at 850 ppm.

I have seeds that popped! Not all but some.

so I made up 8 gallons for the 10 gallon rez. PH 5.5, 5ml h202, 16ml calmag, 16ml Karma and have the airstones in the water. I soaked my rockwool, have my Hydroton boiled rinsed and cooled.

It's tap water. I have ordered a PPM meter but it hasn't arrived yet.

Cal mag at 5ml per gallon all the way through until flush is the loosely based plan, except the first 2 weeks and run cal mag at 2ml. That's what the chart suggested.

I just went with PBpro because someone said to. It's what I have for this first run so hopefully it will work well enough.

When the PPM meter arrives let's see where we are. If I need to switch to CNS-17, I have two weeks to decide right?

I do need this first grow to be a success at almost any cost.

Day one keep us updated ok

Oh yes, you'll be sick of reading about it.

I plan to do a journal and will start a new post. Probably tomorrow when I drop the seeds.

A little back story. I moved to another state and don't know anybody who can hook me up. I'm a medical user but didn't move to a MMJ state. While I won't die if I don't have it, life is more comfortable when I'm not out of weed.

I don't even use much. 4 oz of reg last me a year. I have a very efficient vape. 1/10th of a gram, 2 times a day does what I need MMJ to do. I'm an older guy.

I live in a condo with neighbors all around so being stealthy is key. I went looking for a ultra fast growing strain, one that grew short and was low order. That's how I came to choose the Short stuff Auto #1 Fems.

Then it was a matter of how to grow. As speed was everything because I am out, nothing grows faster than bubbleponics. I remember reading a post by Rosemon years ago where he said his plants were growing 2" per day. I didn't forget that and why soil was out of the question.

I will accept failure if failure comes because I know someday success will be mine. I've spent about $700.00 total on my setup just so I can grow a little personal stash. I need to show something in return.

I started a journal thread here. https://www.rollitup.org/t/short-stuff-1-auto-grow.865377/
