Hey what's up guys, I'm new to growing hydroponic ally and I'm doin a basic 5 gallon bucket set up, 1 plant. I was wondering starting off how much nutes should b I add to the water...I'm using the floral series gro,micro,and bloom. Also how big does the seedling need to be before I put it in the bucket with the clay pellets?

I like to start mine off in root cubes, then id suggest you move it into a small net pot in a smaller set up to start its roots then when the roots are a good 4-6 inches go to your 5 gallon 300ppms of nutrient to start.
Oh ok wold it be ok if I started them in rockwool starter cubes, then move it into a bigger rockwool cube...and once the roots get bigger and longer then move it to the bucket?and should I use a water pump as well to pump water and nutes to the top constantly, and trickle down back into the bucket with continual flow?%

no just keep the water an inch above the bottom of the pot.
Ok perfect...should I do nutes once a week

Change your res out once a week completely. Also make sure you have an airpump and stone in the bucket.

It seems uncommon but I have been keeping my water level lower and top feed at the same time continuously. With a bigger air stone. I have found that in my 5 gallons I have been having great results this way.
I use advance nutrients, I just like it better than the flora. I do my nute change once a week and they are happy.
