The Wick System

Nutes....Thats really up to you. Any hydroshop will have a good range of nutes. Organic or chemical is up to you.

How much nutes? Depends on a couple things...like how old your plants are. Are they in veg or flower. The amount changes as the plants' needs change.

How long should the rope be? Not sure but you should be able to find that out easily. That info may be in the link I gave you to the Growfaq.

A PPM meter or EC meter is advisable.
