i have recently started vegging with a 2x4 botincare flood and drain. im using aurora soul synthetics line of nutrients. im having a problem with the nutrients breaking down. im only feeding 1/3 of what the feeding chart says. my ph is good and ppm is good. i have 2 big air stones in the res and a pump circulating water and a pump feeding the table. i have it flooding for 15 mins every 3 hrs while light is on and once at dark. using a 400 watt mh. any suggestions or helpful knowledge?
Switch nutrient companies. I have the same tray and I have had no problems so far. I use the GH line of nutes works like a charm
Not sure if every three hours is necessary. I only flood 4 times a day. Too much and the babies dont get enough oxygen. I'm a newbie so take everything I say with a grain of salt
my nutrients are very thick liquid. so when put in res it dosent break down the grittiness of the nutrients. i have heard that humic acid helps breakbit down so the plant will except it better just not sure look at all options
what i do measure out the nutes put it in a tupperware container fill the tupperware up with water from my res mix it up then pour that into my res. i read somewhere youre supposed to do that with your nutes and ph down. i use the floranova line and both their grow and flower nutes are very thick, and easy to use since its just a all in one nutrient solution. i also flood once an hour and only when the lights are on.
