well.. I encourage everyone who is doing dirt growing, to follow these guys example and go with hydro.. my friend at the top.. I just put three of these extra buckets I had back into use.. but needed a res. to attatch the other three buckets too.. cause when those plants get HUGE like they do in buckets.. You can't take the plant up or anything.. any water exchange has to happen from the res.. so just use another bucket .. run the hose along the bottom of the buckets and they will all keep the same level..
my home down at the bottom.. Hey bro.. I am using drip buckets with hydroton filled 2 gallon bucket inside of a 5 gal. but I'd done just a strait bubble before and I kept it right about an inch from the netpot.. also about the ppm.. I personally would lay GH nutes aside.. and go with Botanicare's pureblendpro.. there are measurements on the back that work fairly well with minor tweaking for all the strains I've done(lavender, diesel, trainwreck, blueberry, white widow, skunk #1, MK-ULTRA) I'm sure that 3 part is good too.. just sounds complicated for a new hydro grower.. also.. those little drip drip ph tester's work great.. been using them for years.. (cheapass I know) Just keep the water at 6.0 which is the yellow color in the drip ph tester.. and if yer using pureblend pro.. just folow the directions .. 1/4 ounce for clones per gal, half ounce per small plant, one ounce(or thereabout) for fully flowering... I just recommend what I've been doing for a while.. and it definitely works
