changing your water on a regular basis is considered to be important to preventing disease in your system Some people do run their buckets longer without changing, a few just top up. But it sounds like your growing for income, not hobby. If so, do you really want to risk your crop? DWC is a great system, but very unforgiving if you get root rot, etc. Why take chances? do the work, pay the price, and your effort will reward you greatly.

Ec will be your base ( the ec of your water ) plus your nutes. You might want to do some research here on the forum, about DWC and the strains your running. Some are more sensitive to high EC than others. Most people add nutes after the plants second set of true leaves appear. Run them at 1/4 strength for up to 2 weeks then go to 1/2, then gradually raise your EC to see how much your plants will take without problems.

Check out DWCocha's grow's and or pm him, He's the DWC man here! He will set you straight

If you want a hassle free start use canna start, its great for bringing them to vedge then UNLEASH THE CRACKIN. Well the vedge nutes.

what type of lights will you be running? How many? a 400 watt HID will cover about 1 sq. meter. What about cooling/ventilation for the tent?

I'm asking these questions because they are important for understanding how prepared you are for this grow.

I think he has 4 300w led 's

Indeed, I have 4 300w leds actually its reviewd here on this site, they came from china, ebayed em while I was in nederlands, I don't think they will be overheating a lot, ventilation, 4 phresh filter. I hope it will be enough, I suppose I'm prepared for the grow, but need more information about ec's, ph's, I might be using less nutrients and change water more oftenwant to run out of nutes during grow. As I read heare it's a lot better less feed the plant than over feed, well its easier to fix it when its less feeded. As well I'm thinking to introduce some music to plants while they grow, 432 hz tuned music - read quite a bit (and apparently it has healing, and well being power I'm about harmony of nature, maybe it sounds silly but I do believe in things like that, and plants do react into things

ANd I will be changing water during grow, Like My system holds 60 liters of solution, you know if I want to change that I already have to have prepared another 60 liters of solution, quite a few buckets I will need, becouse I will be using both systems so it makes 120 liters of solution. I'm cocncerned weather it's worth to change the solution of 120liters every 10 days. I'm hoping to get away with 3 times cahnge during grow, after intial start all system cahange to vega. after vega all system change to flora, and then flush with plain water to the end...

Another thing maybe It's worht experimenting with nutes, when veg starts, just add canna aqua vega A+B keep it for like 8 days, than change all solution with the same canna aqua vega plus, other additives like silica rhizotonic formulex, cal mag? What do you think guys is it good, to use different ratios of nutes during veg, and flowering period?

 

[BobbyGrow]

Follow the directions on the bottle. K.I.S.S. A stronger feed is required for flower. Strain dependant. No magic number. When it comes to hydro, less is more, and go slow when adding shit. The plant will generally tell you when it wants something specific. Just feed it Canna Aqua and call it a day. Then when you flower change to your flower nutes. At the prescribed dosage. ,. . . .

As well is anybody using lemon juice / viniger for instead of ph up/down, I'm thinkinking what coul I use if I run out of them only have 250 mililiters of each, will be using 120 liters solution during grow. I might need a lot of stuff to normalize ph??

 

[BobbyGrow]

No I suggest using the right tool for the job. Yes you will need a lot of "stuff" Your planning what i consider a big grow, maybe too big for now. But I wish you the best and will definitely follow along and try to help as much as possible. You can learn from my mistakes. Best of luck and KEEP IT SIMPLE STONER :Sharing One:

Cool I will have rented place next week, then will start setting everything up, during grow I might seek for help here on this forum. And will try to take pictures and make a like a journal to what I will be doing to show people on here. Sharing is caring, by the start I'll try to get some more ph up down or similar stuff.. But where I live hydroponics is not popular at all..
