You're gonna need to get the FloraMicro and FloraGro along with the FloraBloom. It's all part of a 3 part nutrient system.

Check out www.genhydro.com and look at the feeding schedule for recirculating, that will tell you exactly how much to add and when. Also, don't use them with the AG nutes, flush and clean your res before adding the GH nutes.

Also, hook us up with some pics of your grow. We can only help so much without pics of the plants.

Anyway, sounds good man, keep us updated.

(check out the AeroGarden Guide *NEW AND IMPROVED* if you haven't already, tons of information for beginners.)

:joint:

EDIT: Also, you can put your pics directly on your thread by using the manage attachments button at the bottom of the page when you're posting. Just a little FYI.

Once a week is good, but you can do it every other week.

83 should be OK. Just make sure if you have a light real close it's not scorching the leaves.

How much nutrients have you given them? Are the tips kind of a reddish color? Could be nutrient burn.

Also, could be a deficiency. Would have to have better pictures to diagnose that.

Hope it works out.

I would flush your res and add just pH'd water for about a day or a little more. Then, add one of the small tablets every week or so.

It's much easier to use the GH nutrients since there is a set feeding schedule you can follow.

calikush420 · Aug 7, 2009

Have you flushed your res yet?

I wouldn't worry about a ppm meter too much, at least til you get comfortable with growing. The best way is to get the rest of the GH nutes and follow the schedule.

calikush420 · Aug 7, 2009

i havent flushed the res. yet i will do that tonight is it best to change the res. well the light's are on or off or does it matter
