help hydro

[sidefx]

i am buying pieces and making a aeroflo hydro system in a grow tent.

BUT to the point i read different things about when to start adding nutrients into the water.....in a HYDRO setup.

please advice appreciated. thanx u trippers. my brothers.


im also thinking of somehow adding.........myrcene.... to the babies which i believe is a chemical well " Terpene" produced by the plant and is found in higher % in good BUD. it helps the thc get to the receptors and stuff.

its found in a few plants i was thinkin of using an extract of lemon grass or maybe bay leaves and puttingalittle in the water? bay leaves dont taste the best tho so dont know? mangoes also have myrcene but that would be too messy. :butthead:

i dont aye bro.
ive grown soil. outside and inside.
and been reading what i can find on hydro.
any recommends.
ive herd it can be unforgiving. and they take alot of attention.
but the speed of growth and quality are too tantalizing for me to not try.

hydro is unforgiving, as you said. i would keep it simple until you have a feel for it.
i would probably buy or construct an NFT system. you can improvise a fair deal with the equipment or buy all the components, and tailor it to your grow area.
one you have a feel for it and can keep the babies alive maybe experiment with adding novel ingredients to the nutrient solution.
search the web for information on Nutrient Film Technique methods and setups. it may not be for you, but IMO its the easiest to ghetto construct hydro system, and as long as you monitor nutrient levels etc, there is very little can go wrong. the yield is usually excellent too.

ive seen friends spend thousands on fancy setups and never get a decent crop.
a pond pump is cheap. plastic drainage pipe can be bought cheap or "borrowed" anywhere, or you could buy NFT trays and covers. there are large plastic drums laying around wondering what to do next. all you got to do is put them together and make sure it doesnt leak.
you can buy PVCu end caps, T-sections, and joints of every shape at trade prices anywhere on the planet, almost
