Oh just what gear you're using and where in Perth you are getting the nutes and stuff...
This is my system at the moment;
Made that on Monday, so still very early days...
Well I guess I'll list what I'm unsure of at the moment;
- Did you need to worry much about water temp being in Perth?
- What strength nutes did you use? and what type/s
- Where about was the water lvl up to the pots.
ah nice, looks you have a re-circulation system there which is alot better just requires more plumbing and stuff, i was thinking of doing that at some stage also
I dont worry about the temperature at all because its in a room that stay really cool all the time for some reason so its fine, where you have your set up you wont have to worry about the temps unless it gets really really hot and humid in therem and you can also use a fan on the plants also.
I run 2 air pumps with 4 ports, so 4 air stones in the tub. more air the merrier haha but 1 if fine also.
i found using the general hydroponics 3 part solution was the best, atm im using a normal chilli nutrient that works well just because i have some still left over from a while ago, and with the nutrient you add in 2 boosters which ill link here and thats it, with the strength of the nutes its all on the bottle from seedlings to fully grown ect ect its really easy to do, also make sure your water PH is around 5.5 to 6.5 using a ph tester, and you use the PH up and PH down products to adjust.
With the water level ive always put it up as far as i can so it dosnt over flow, once your roots are really long you can fill it lower, just make sure your net pot is submerged and your clay balls are wet and youre all good.
I go to a place called "hydro hill" pretty new place and awesome stuff hes got literally EVERYTHING you need.
Im pretty new to the hydro systems so any help would be great, so far its been going well i think this is the 3rd week running, im using a chilli nutrient and setting the ph levels correctly and thats about it!
