new at hydro

[BudMan30]

Hey everyone budman here. I usually a soil guy but I wanted to try hydro. I'm following the foxfarm feeding see., i m starting with a 5 g bucket with a net full of clay pebbles. The plants grow in and is developing roots but there a little discolord and the plants willting
Any advice would be greatly helpfll.

Yeah, go buy General Hydro 3 part, maxi bloom, OR Flora Nova...pick one! I personally find their products to be VERY stable, super easy to deal with, and a great starting point. (or ending point, if you are like me)

I've tried many different nutes...GH makes some of the easiest to deal with, and consistent results, especially as a "starting point".

I tried foxfarm tiger bloom in DWC bubble bucket (which is what I assume you are up to) And it screwed everything up...just didn't work for me. Others may have other advice...but I would suggest going SIMPLE till you get a few runs under your belt.

When I first had success with hydro (which was NOT my first shot at it) I just ran a waterfarm with GH 3 part. I alternated add backs with straight water, then nute mix...had tremendous success.

Tried and true...that's my 2 cents

Good Luck, Keep it simple...

Almost 90% chance of death or poor results.

Please read the forums... You're looking for:

- A nutrient lineup and method of using it that has growers it works for. (That have rooms/plants/setups like YOU do.)
- Enough 'helpers' of that type of method currently active online and helping people with that method. Successfully.
- Threads that hold the information you need that you can read over and over until you 'get' it like turning on a faucet.

You want to read until you can't find the answers to your questions anymore... because they're so specific.

This is what will make growing easy, fun and successful for you.

Since you've already started... go look for threads of folks using the nutes you already have.

Stay Safe!

Great nute to use IMO since your new to it is MaxiBloom its a great easy to use nute use 7G a gallon from veg to flower very ez and great results its like $15 a bag all in one powdered nute.
Look up the Kiss thread on the nute forums.Hope this helps.

I am sold on GH. But I don't like the Flora Nova 1 part series b/c the salts have all crystalized after a couple weeks. After much experimenting I am leaning toward the flora 3 part.

With the 3 part you don't need cal/mag but you do with the duo line. I am doing some cocoton with the GH orgo line and some rdwc with 3 part. I add some rapid start in beginning, floralisiuos+ all the way through and some Kool bloom after 2 weeks into flwr. Simple and amazing results. Just my 2 cents.

I would use floranova and floralisious all the way kool bloom on days 25 and 35 If I were a new grower. I have used the nova for years in huge warehouse grows and never had the problems you describe. The easiest way to really quality grows imo. I am using ionic now and it is even eaiser and really kicks butt in yeild. I think Heath robinsons tree grow says all there is to say about ionic.

Nice to hear you boys are buying product from that mid-MI company. They also make most of the Europonic line (RW specific), which I have used when doing 4x4 cubes over slabs of RW with excellent results. Matter of fact I used only their two part (Europonic grow and bloom w an A & B for both) w not one other product ever. The yield and quality as every bit as good or better than anything else I used. And it's priced right.
