nutrients? haa

timmay215 · Jul 29, 2007

I bought this

and it comes with
these

8 oz. bottles of General Hydroponics Flora Series 3 part nutrient system. Enough for more than three complete harvest cycles before you will need to buy more nutrient.

are they the correct kind? if not what should i buy?

and would 6 lowryder 2's fit nice?

I have a PH meter for my hottub that i'm going to use for the water.
should i buy the EC meter for PPM?

Those are good nutes for hydro. Probably the #1 selling hydro formula in the US...

If you're using tap water, you should be able to get CLOSE on your ppms by following the specific stages of growth your plants are in and using the 1-2-3
3-2-1 feeding schedule on the bottle/website without an EC/ppm meter.

Change yer nutes/water once a week. Add-in only pH balanced water in between if needed.

6 plants flowered quickly should be OK in that system. I would caution the use of a CLEAR reservoir though. you may find you get an algae bloom if you don't block the light from hitting it.

good luck

Should i wait to start then, i could also throw in 6 26 Watt CFLs. i should probably be safe and wait until i get new lighting
