New Hempy Bucket

Okay, im doing the 100% perlite hempy bucket its basically a DWC system with convenience....
okay, so im having trouble deciding on which nutrients i want to get
ive narrowed my favorite down to floranova which is around 50-60 dollars for the two 1qt bottles, and i hear it is super diluted which is great because i dont have a lot of money right now haha... i also looked into big bud powder, im getting that as well unless someone changes my mind about it and florakleen as well, i will probably go to osh and pick up a superthrive 4oz bottle when i get a chance as well, but im just barely growing clones right now, and i JUST now gripped one down for the LST, ill post pictures when i bring him in from outside... (i dont have my lighting system yet either)
i ordered 12 fem White widow seeds from cannabisseeds as well which was a great deal 30 bucks for all 12.... but the sale just ended i think
im also going to get some LSD from barnys and some uhm, violator kush as well...
i hear the LSD is great for a first grower and will be a forgiving yield to the beginner...
anyhow.... i have my nutrient choices down to the following
FloraNova(59.99) (shipping is included in all prices....)
Big Bud Powder (25.00)
FloraKleen(16.69)
Superthrive (Unknown relatively cheap and at a local hardware store 4oz bottles)

Im pretty deadset on the bigbud powder and the superthrive as they seem like great values and no1 has had trouble with them

i have no idea if this is the best for the money or what, but i figure im going to spend a relative 100 dollars on nutrients, so if you have a better configuration and have had success with that configuration please post it because i am a budget grower and brand new to the grow life, but know a decent deal about strains.

Please help me with my dire situation, you were here once, please lend me a hand
thanks in advance....!~~~
Smoke that Cali Kush!~

please help meh!~

Basically theres a lot of nute's you can get for cheap or expensive as is usually the case with growing as a hobby
A lot of people recommend bio-biz, as they are really simple to use and generally very forgiving as they are organic, I think they're reasonably priced too.

I mean you can use pretty much anything so long as its high in nitrogen for veg and high in phosphorus for flower, I'm using Miracle Gro' multi purpose fertiliser as I blew all my funds my grow room and its working well for me, so long as your careful, but I wouldn't recommend it as its sooo easy to burn your plants...

General Rule of thumb with all nutrients, start off about 1/4 strength and work your way up 1/2, 3/4 to full strength.
Just look for Riddle me in the search bar go to his profile and click, find started threads.... you'll find everything you need to know at this stage!

as for the LST post some pics up, its not hard to do really though I LST'd my girl and accidentally topped her, but that was entirely my fault XD



Check out this thread, has useful info on fertilisers and stuff:

by the way I'm still learning myself, I've just done a shit load of research before I started, I'm pretty much on plant growing overload! XD so if anyone has anything to add or correct feel free

and how often do i water a hempy bucket with 100% perlite? i wasnt sure as to this answers, i was thinking once a day but im not sure
another bucket i have made using perlite as a growing medium along with some organic compost my grandfather makes, so its about a 50/50 mix whats your discretion on watering plants?

umm well all that info is in the hempy colective thread.

With 100% perlite you probably will have to do once a day and see if the plants are happy! if they start to droop from over watering then once every 2 days will suffice...

I do mine once every 2 days and they're fine... As for the soil mix.. I don't know, never grown in soil before, just see what your plants like and if they droop from over watering then cut down on the water most pl say stick ur finger in the dirt bout 2 inches down and if its dry they need a water, if not their fine.

Happy growin' XD

recommend 20 - 30% perlite/vermiculite mix to soil
