Nutrients

hi guys/girls

i have a few questions about nutrients i have a hydroponics system and i was wondering when should you refill the water supply? how much nutrients should you put in the new water? and when do u refill with new water? and do u wait till the water supply is empty to fill it back up with water and nutrients?

thanks

any other information on nurtients and water for hudro systems will be appreciated very much

First off, you seem like way to new of a grower to be using a Hydro system, but you already bought everything so let see if I can help.

Change out and clean your reservoir ONCE A WEEK

Look at the bottle and put in half what it recommends (the bottles typically sayd how many ml you should put in per gal I.E. 10 ml / gal, 20 gal reservoir = 200 ml), your a newbie so get a PPM and pH meter. Make sure your PPMs stay below 1000 in flowering and 700 in veg and your pH is around 5.5-6.0

If you have a large enough reservoir your should only have to fill it up at the beginning of each week when you drain and clean it.

- Water temps should never go above 70 degrees, ideally it should stay below 68 degrees, use frozen 2 liters for smaller res's and a water chiller for large if temps are a problem
- Keep a cover on your reservoir when the lights are on
- Use H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) at least the 30% variety in your water every 2-3 days at 6ml per gal
- Make sure your humility is 40-50% and your temps are 70-80 in ur room
- Stick to Chemical Nutes (General Hydroponics, etc...)

Im sure I left some things out, but here's a basic idea
