What is the best way to maintain that accurate of a nutes level? Floating trays? Wick type things? What are these things? http://www.overgrow.com/edge....403.jpg
The most accurate way to maintain nute levels is to FLUSH everytime u fertilize!!! Most hydrofolkz flush/fertilize inbetween 10-14 days; dependant on your rezzy size. Your rezzy size roughly determines how often u must flush/fertilize. 1gallon rezzy=1 day inbetween flushes. Personally, my rezzy iz roughly 14 gallons;which i top off daily(never use fertz when topping!) with 3litres. So with a 14 gallon rezzy; i don't need to flush for about 2 weekz max!!!! I only want to use enough nutes for me to last the entire 2wkz prior to flushing/fertilizing. Flushing is MANDATORY becuz of inevitable(even with store bought water!) salt-buildup(that is responsible for nute-lockout & ph fluctuations)... So in theory, the bigger your rezzy...the longer you can go inbetween flushes/fertilizing!!! Also, i only recommend that u use store bought water or filtered tap water ONLY!!! Keeping only 1" inch of your netpot submerged is a Good Idea! Why? becuz cannabis has 2 types of roots: 1)Air Roots-these are the fuzzy rootz specifically absorbing oxygen from the Air(with 100% humidity inside your hydrocorn). Air rootz insure that your cannabis will not wilt! 2)Water Rootz-specifically designed to absorb soluble nutes & salts such as dissolved oxygen and nitrites. I implement an NFT Bioponic setup. I also have merely an inch of my netpotz submerged. (Edited by hellostupid at 3:25 am on Aug. 9, 2003)
