If you have a 2 gallon cooler bubbler with 8 plants growing in 2" net pots, how much would you feed them?
The nutrients say 1 tsp per gallon. There's 2 gallons so you'd think you'd use 2 tsp. But there's 8 plants.
Does that turn it into 8 tsp/gal? 16 tsp total?
Or do you want to find a happy medium?
Thanks for your input!
How big are your plants?
I would recommend using GH series hydro nutrients. Flora Grow, Micro, Bloom.
Using those nutrients I would use the Lucas Formula which is 0-5-10 during vegitative state, 0-8-16 for flowering. which means 0 grow-5ml micro- 10ml bloom. This is per 1 gallon of water, which should be at a ph between 5 and six. I like to use a 5.8ph with the lucas formula.
Second your going to most likely want to put your cubes in bigger cubes and move the plants to bigger net pots, I like to get each plant in its own 2 1/2 gallon buckets with a floating 6 inch planter, or stable 6 inch planter. I hook up a bubbler under each net pot directly underneath.
I would put the plants on a nutrient strength based on their stage of growth. I like to do 1/4 strength veg solution for the first week, then move to half then full strength. Many people like myself determine nutrient strength using a ppm meter. There are various charts on how many ppm are good for certain stages of growth.
