First time experimenting with a DWC Bucket setup. Week 1 almost complete and I've seen great root growth in my clones. My question and concern is about my Nutrients precipitating to the bottom of the buckets. Do I need to stir my nutrient solutions from time to time? Is this a result of evaporation and the ph balance now being off?
You need to use the proper nutes or they will precipitate and become unavailable to the plant. Normally, liquid nutes are fine (like three part Flora, for example).
Thanks for the reply! I'm using Fox Farms 3 part hydroponic nutes. Dug a lot deeper on this earlier when I asked. Turns out that Big Bloom just does this if you mix it too fast. Apparently the sediment wont hurt the plants. I just need to mix it slower next time I guess.
