    How long is it taking you to grow a head of lettuce with this mix set-up? Also the lettuce you are using, how many days are they till maturity? Thanks

    Hello,

    I've really enjoyed these series but have a question or two. First I don't see anything in the channel on once you're done with the seedlings and need to put them into netpots and in a tote with a solution. Could you discuss at what point you would do this in the growing process and since you use your nutrient solutions on various weeks how is that done. Is that in a tote or what?

    I am brand new to Hydrophonics and My question is when I grow leafly vegitable like Lettuce (no flowering) Can I use only FLORAGRO without BLOOM & MICRO?
    And when I grow Vegitable like tomato and chilly at the begining when growing stage can I use only FLORAGRO without BLOOM & MICRO?
    My logic is at growing stage why should I use blooming fertilizer?
    Thank you for your clear reply to encourage me in Hydrophonics.
    Also If my water is in good PH level (PH 6) Can I avoid using MICRO?

    Thanks for your detailed reply. If you can, please give me links for me to read more on this topics.

    Hey +TheGrowGeek , I am getting a 4, 5 gallon bucket system with a 5 gallon reservoir. My question is, how do I manage the nutrient solution? Do I mix up the nutrients for the total amount of water in the system (4x5G+5G = 25 Gallon Approx)? It's a top fed recirculating system so I need the water level in each bucket to at least touch the roots of the plants (around 3G per bucket).

    Does this work for all different plant types? We want to grow various vegetables indoors and we want to do it hydroponically. What about lighting? I'm still trying to get the seeds to germinate now. Once the seeds have germinated and are in the rock-wool, do I set the rock-wool in a bucket and let the nutrient water barely touch it? Is it okay if the rock-wool is continuously partially submerged in the water? I'm a beginner lol. Obviously.

    Hey there.  I am new to hydroponics.  I want to build out my backyard fairly big space, 10 x 40 with vertical hanging towers.  If all goes well I will have somewhere close to 2000 plants.  Mostly lettuce and herbs.  My question is how do you calculate how much water/nutrient you are going to need for the number of plants you want?

    Hey great vid again growgeek. I just mixed my nutrients just like you did in same ratio and everything. The problem is my ppm meter says i am on 435 now but there is little x 10 blinking bellow that number on display. I am kind of scared that i did something wrong. BTW after i reduced pH and dechlorinated water my ppm count was 149. Help me please growgeek

    Great video, I am just about to get started on Hydroponics and are trying to learn how it works so this question might just be too obvious to some: What do you do when moving to a new week in the chart that has a different mix of nutrients? You kind of worked around this by using the week 3 mix for all your growing weeks, which seem like a great idea. But what if you grow tomatoes for example that would need more weeks or if you really wanted to follow the chart as it is? So when you get to a week with a different mix do you flush the system or do you just apply the new mix to the water you add to the system during that week?
