DWC, Deep Water Culture.
Are your nutrients in power form?
Yes you use the maxigro during the growth period 24/7 or 18/6 (lights on/off), and the bloom when in flower 12/12. To start with you need a ph and ppm meter. At first the nutrients should be added at 1/4 strength, and then work up from there.
You should change your rez every 2 weeks, in exchange for new nutrients.

well, I balence the ph everyday and like to change the res every other. I am only using 11/2gallons of water. It's a micro set up. i get my ph around 5.5 and then it kreeps up to about 6.5 in about a day. So like I mentioned tommrow would be my change day. It mentions 1/4 tsp for every gallon so I use 1/8tsp. Sounds pretty close to me. So I guess my question is do I do it everytime? And then go up as my plants get bigger? thanks for your help... rep

I don't know that system, but yes, you're feeding them right (you could be doing with a ppm meter)
Hope everything goes well for you.

fitzyno! is on the ball... except for the rez change.. but I'm sure you already know how to change a micro rez koolhand, and changing it every other day sound right.

PPM (Parts Per Million) meter makes it easy to feed your plants... but it isn't absolutely necessary.

I"m sure you have noticed that I don't use a ppm meter in my grow.. and I'm doing fine... But it isn't as easy... and I would get one if you get a chance.

I would start them 1/16tsb... if you change your rez every other day... then raise to 1/8tsb every other rez changer after that.... keeping a good eye on your plants.

After a while you get a handle at it and it becomes easy to read your girls and tell what they need and how much.

Thanks guys for helping when I can get the dough up for the ppm. I did check out the FAQ and I got lost kind of a hands on type of guy.
