damn thats the thing i want to go hydro but i cant check mine 2 times a day usualy like every 3 or 4 days, i guess ill be stickin to soil. how long veg to you recomend for soil, or coco?
Don't put hydro out of the equation so soon.
I have to leave mine for a week sometimes but thats the max. By then end of a week they will have used up most of the nutes and need the reservoir swapped out with new solution.
Its the fluctuations in temperature and ph that are going to screw you. As long as you can control your environment and you can check on them every few days you will be fine.
I just check them everyday because they are growing where I live so why not. I only tend to them once a week and that's to empty the res and refill it with fresh nutes.
Sometimes they need a 5 gallon topper towards the end of the week if they are drinking heavily but thats about as much maintenence as I do.
So really you can check them every few days as long as you have everything under control.
Are you not growing where you reside?
