First Hydro Gro

i want to know wat i should use starting out for nutrients. i know start small n work ur way up, but any recommendations on wat are some good nuts to use???

Pure Blend Pro is awesome for beginners. I had awesome results when I used it!

I am having good results with the Canna Line.

I first tryed Bio Bizz in a soil grow, had a terrible time. But atlot of people rate them.

I also use Canna Zym, and liquid Silica, these are great.

I am using Canna PK13/14 and Canna Boost. I'm not sure about these products, as I have not done a side by side test yet, the boost is very expensive.

Hey thats the brand I got. Got the grow and the bloom. Mine aint eggxactly took off like the proverbial house on fire so to speak. It dont seem to be very chunky. I guess that is a good thing. I went for Fox Farm but the fella at the Hydro Shoppe said Fox Farm was too expunsive and steered me over to these for the same money. I still aint figgered that out. I also paid 20 bucks for Ph checker chem kit. I think everything that guy had cost the same amount. Tell ya I've looked local very hard for the net pots and aint seen any yet. Reckon that be a mailorder item for folks in God's Country? Speaking Texican of course. If not where do you get em other than the hydro place? Thanks. That too far over there.

Hi,

I made my net pots my self.

I brought pots, and used my soldering Iron, to make holes in them. Bit of a smelly job, But it worked a treat, no problems with the pots atle.

I recommend using a soldering Iron and not a knife or drill. Beacuse the soldering Iron leaves a nice smooth edge that will not cut into your roots, also You won't acsodently break the pot.

haha man, ive already bought the nets, dolla each, cut my own holes in a 18 gallon plastic tub, just two holes tho cuz i only one two plants in there. but its all good, thx for the advise tho

I started out using the general hydroponics stuff, but found it clogged my drip lines. So I switch to DNF and Optimum. They both come in packs of veg and bloom and have bloom boosters too.

for net pots I bought some 4" cutlery drainers.

as for clogged lines I made my own filter.

Take an everyday coke or water bottle and cut off the bottom leaving it smooth as possible, pack some sponge 2/3rd in and the last 1/3rd with something heavy and clean (I used some cleaned and bleached gravel).

next glue or silicone up the sides of the bottle stretch a pair of stockings over the bottom first and the whole bottle (use both feet for extra strength) cut and tie it stretching tightly over the bottle but not too far, put a few elastic bands around the bottle and leave to dry.

I modified the cap to accomodate a hozelock fitting, the locker on the pump hose so I can clean the filter when needed by simply unclipping it and running the hose thru it for a bit then soaking it in bleach and rinsing.

Well all I have is the crotch section of some dirty panty hose. Will that work? Looks like it ought to give some good nutes etc. Seriously I got trunk load of them cutlery drainers from back in another life when I used to cook stuff. Thanks for that tip. Repeat the other deal later on. I cant think too good right now. So sorry.
