How Do I Grow Dwc Bubble Bucket Without Ppm/ph Meter ?

you can buy both meters for £:10 each off eBay, just buy the meters. if you get them wrong you can end up with bugger all bud. if you use the meters you can't go wrong

 

a PH meter or an aquarium ph test kit IS needed if your dwc'ing.
Ppm/E c Meters help 100% BUT you can get away without one if your not pushing your plants to hard, go half strength and you should be ok if you change water on a regular basis.

Here is all the info you need to learn to produce a minimum a pound a plant with a 600 watt light and a bucket.

To answer your question though. Cannabis is a weed. It will grow just about anywhere, in anything. Anybody can grow it but not everyone can grow medical cannabis with large yields, that's the trick! 
 
You can grow a plant and never check ph, but your problems, quality, and yields will suck. Ph allows the nutrients to be chemically available to the root zone.

 

I used this meter for a while... When you have the chance, grab one!   FYI  General Hydroponic "Flora Nova" line are priced right and work great.

cannabis is not a weed, no entire species is a weed. a weed is a plant that is out of place, or unwanted. I want all of my plants, I planted them all so none are weeds.

you can grow marijuana without checking PH or nutrient strength, and if your lucky they may well survive, but they won't thrive. the law of entropy dictates that you just won't get the conditions perfect and you will lose out on a lot more bud than £20 worth. you didn't need the magnifying glass until harvest week and wow those are expensive nutrients. a range of ionic nutes that will last several average sized grows can be bought for £20.... but it's always too late for "should ofs" .... but if I were you the next time you get 20 bones spend it on the meters, without a nutrient strength meter you can never work out what nutrient strength the plant requires

 

Word!!!

 

I used Lucas formula and ph strips for a long time with fine results. Having a ph or ppm meter didnt make much of a difference. If you want to dial in your plants they are cool, but there is a decent range of ppm and sometimes rven ph swings that a plant can handle. A general idea of the ph and a smart feeding plan is all you really need.

 

I'd have to choose a ph pen first.

 

I would choose a PH meter because although a plant won't show you when the ppm is spot on, it will show you when it's way out.
when the PH is out all sorts of difficult to read signs manifest

  

well done mate, you won't regret it. if you need help measuring what ppm your plants require at any given stage of their lives, have a look at the link in my signature

 

In MHO if you want to grow really kick ass weed you need to spend some money,it like every thing else (if you want to build a fast car  you will be askd how much moeny you spend will determin how fast you will go)same here,I am not saying you cant grow some good weed on a budget it way possible,but you still need the right  or basic equpment,a PH pen or meter is a must so is a PPM or EC or TDS meter..
 
Even on a budet you can grow some kick ass weed,you just cant jump into a grow,before I started my first grow I built a grow box out of plywood,then saved some money,then made a heating system out of space heaters,saved a little more and bought some T states,then saved and bought an A/C from a yard sale for a cooling system,saved more then bought the supplys to make the plumbing systems pumps and timers,and again saved for supplys,( newts PH ups and downs coco clay pellets),then I saved for seeds,once I had the stuff I needed to get started  then I started growing,
 Also go to the DYI section here, there are tons of great ideas to make all kinds of things you will need,,I made a rez chiller out of an A/c from plans off the DIY and a rez temp controler.....
