Ok this is my first attempt at a hydro. I have a soil plant beside it so you can see the difference in Color. I am using the heavy 16 line. Same thing the plant beside it is eating.
Bump up the nitrogen a bit she will darken up.Sorry man I thought the pic uploaded
Looks hungry what are you feeding it.

I dont grow in hydro so I dont know how it works, but if you are growing seperate strains, some strains require a lot more nitrogen (or other nutrients) than the plant sitting right next to it.
Lights are 288 v2 quantum. I am feeding it heavy 16. Ppm is 1400. It’s eating the same thing as the plant next to it. The only think that’s different is the one next to it is an auto and the one next to it is in soil. I’ve never grown a hydro. I’ve never had a hungry plant either lol. I usually have nute burn before I have a hungry plant. The heavy 16 might not be as good for hydro. I have some FF samples I may try those after I had more water. Hell I don’t know what do you guys thinkLooks hungry alright.
What kind of ppm are you running and what water do you use?
Lights?
Heavy 16 is definitely a wallet drainer... not doubts but it is great stuff and I get it off line so it’s joy too bad. You should see how expensive it is in the local hydro store lol. Gonna look into some of this stuff you are talking aboutHeavy 16 is a heavy wallet drainer.....Gee wizz!
Botanicare KIND line is set for hydro, I use it in soil but it has the Ca/Mg in it already...
Hesi, Canna, G&H 3 part, even (this is my evil twin speaking) AN's 3 part or name line base nutrients work well....
Emerald Forrest is the chemical engineer guy that quit AN for his not believing in Big Mikes marketing practice (took Big Mikes girlfriend with him too....LMFAO)
Your in DWC....G&H Flora Nova line 2 part is a real good choice for DWC.....
I've been using AN for almost 20 years and say what you want it works and as it's pH Perfect I don't ever check my pH either in soilless or DWC. Saves a lot of hassle.Lights are 288 v2 quantum.

Thanks manI've been using AN for almost 20 years and say what you want it works and as it's pH Perfect I don't ever check my pH either in soilless or DWC. Saves a lot of hassle.
I bought gallon jugs of the 3 part for $124 almost 3 years ago and have at least 3 years left on those. Got a 500g can of the Big Bud powder, $80 and a liter of Rhino Skin for $45. Recently got a liter of Remo CalMag for $20 and that's it for 5 years or more of growing. The electricity I'll burn to use up those nutes will cost me 20X that so I don't understand all the fuss about how expensive nutes are. I just don't believe in all those fancy supplements that all the nute makers try to flog on us. Fox Farms sure has some goofy names and lots of stuff you really don't need but AN is the bad guy. At least they've proudly proclaimed from the start that they make their nutes for growing pot and never lied and hid behind pictures of fruit and veggies like the rest.
It could just be that pale plant is genetically made that way. Sometimes those different plants end up with the best smoke so you should always get cuttings just in case it's 'The One!'
I almost chose AN over heavy 16 but this was when I first started and I was kinda intimidated by all the different jugs lol. How hard is it to use AN?I've been using AN for almost 20 years and say what you want it works and as it's pH Perfect I don't ever check my pH either in soilless or DWC. Saves a lot of hassle.

Keep in mind I never said it didn't work......Just not "my" choice..I've been using AN for almost 20 years and say what you want it works and as it's pH Perfect I don't ever check my pH either in soilless or DWC. Saves a lot of hassle.

The thing is, you don't need those other jugs.....I almost chose AN over heavy 16 but this was when I first started and I was kinda intimidated by all the different jugs lol. How hard is it to use AN?
It's more than just that tho. Has a better P/K ratio for pot than most, 0-15-35 with 10% sulfur, 20 aminos and ascorbic and citric acids. I hate to grow without as it really makes a big difference to yields and resin production and smells too.Big Bud powder is simply Mono Potassium Phosphate (maybe at an altered strength for some) re-packaged and repriced.....Same for most "shooting Powders" and MOAB...
Rhino skin? Better and cheaper forms of Silica are available..
Of course they have to pay for the package and the cartoon character label..
I usually grow in coco or soil, I just have one in DWC. I’m experimenting lolThe thing is, you don't need those other jugs.....
The less you have to add, the easier it is....
AN works! ......"I" would choose something else.... Something more complete maybe... Your new and learning. Less is more for you right now. I would also never suggest you use a "pH - perfect" line and "never test" your pH...
In fact, to learn more about what a possible problem might be, how to "see" the plant properly and to actually learn patience and discipline in growing.....I would suggest you first learn to pH everyday at lights on..
G&H Flora Nova was an especially good line for me in DWC...
It comes very thick and gooey. Cut it 50:50 with RO water and use it at dbl the charted rate till you dial in your strains..
That's my nutrient line suggestion for your method.
Not hard at all. Basically the same as Heavy 16 or any other multi-part nutrient line with the added benefit of balanced pH and even the base 3-part has has some supplements already added.I almost chose AN over heavy 16 but this was when I first started and I was kinda intimidated by all the different jugs lol. How hard is it to use AN?
