Im using 5 gallon buckets with a coco mix and clay pellets for medium. I am using jungle juice nutes(micro and bloom) on veg side and adding bloomfx by xnutrients and maxibloom powder by general hydroponics mixed with water on flower side. The dry nutes are used every 3 or 4 days. The buckets have drains drilled about 2 to 3 inches from the bottom so there is fluid left in the bottom- is this bad for roots? i give them plain water every now and then to wash the nutrients on the bottom or replace the fluid on the bottom. also how often should i be giving the plants plain water? Im also using a combination of metal halide200w with a tilt on it, high pressure sodium(x2)1000w and a 400w(vertical) and CFL in a corner. is this combination ok for flower? i have a room for flower covered in reflective paper with the listed lights . there are around 8 medium sized plants the tallest being around 6 feet. In the doorway is a fan. there is also a small exaust fan at the top of the room and had to be on the same side as the intake fan. The veg side is a structure in a corner of a room built from wood and reflective material with many holes and a fan at one end. we have florescent,CFL, and metal halide and maybe a hps...it is on a pump system that drains into a gutter from the holes previously described, the pump rests in the gutter and feeds the nutes thru a hose system that is faulty at times and needs new ends to squirt fluid. i just plug the pump in and let it feed at various times throughout the day. how often should i actually be feeding? on the flower side i have a device made from a milk jug and flexible pvc used to water plants in the back of the room, but the pt being i hand feed on the flower side, how often should i be.
so my main questions are
1.) 5 gallon buckets with half inch wide holes drilled 3 inches from bottom leaving fluid in the very bottom-ok or not?
2.) light combo of hps, metal halide, and cfl ok for flower?
3.) how much to feed using mainly lucas formula with jungle juice nutes and maxibloom dry powder and bloomx by xnutrients for flower. for a medium of coco and clay?
4.) how often to give plain water?
