depending on the strain you are growing you might need to leave the nute level at 1/3 of what the bottle recommends

Congrats. My AI is 9 days old and will live in an Aerogarden for a couple more weeks, then go in to a 5 gallon DWC. Lucky for me you are a step ahead so please post as much info as possible. Its only my second run at DWC but maybe we'll have a few tips for each other.

quick question about your nutes dont mean to jack your thread man but its about the nutes

..................................................


so i have about 4gals of water in each 5gal bucket.


put water in bucket PHed to 5.7 the base PPM of the water i used was 585 without adding nutes.


added 64ml of flora bloom (16ml x 4gal) 64ml
ppm after bloom 1600

mixed

added 32ml of flora micro (8ml x 4gal) 32ml
ppm after bloom and micro 2760 (2175 if base subtracted)

mixed

so as of now after adding 2 nutes just a micro and a bloom i have a ppm of 2175 subtracting base??

so in essence this this nute mix is way too much for my day 30 bloomers correct?? or am i wrong? i have other things i would like to add to the nute soup such as liquid karma and floralious i am confused because if the ppm is that high it will overfertilize. or am i off somewhere?? please explain whats yours like?

2175 then minus the ppm of hard water. if it is that high i would not add as much of the micro maybe only add 5ml per gallon and add the extra sweeteners, or in a day or two when you add just pure water i would add some sweeteners then:leaf:

AI is a great plant! It grows nice and fast and just seems to grow and grow when flowered. To bad i had to bring mine in early due to mold:wall:
best of luck and watch out for that mold..even if its inside

guys when you say 5 gallon bucket i take it ya mean usa gallon and not uk so here goes im gona do a dwc in 5 1/2 uk gallon bucket which is roughly 9 gallon us and im only gona grow 1 plant in it and veg for about 2 months am i going overkill or does 2 months sound like long enough to fill the bucket with roots or would i maybe be better doing 3 months veg just to make it worth while growing in such a big bucket for 1 plant and im growing ice from nirvanna seeds btw plants look great and im thinking of topping mine for a first to let all the lower brachs form a canopy
