Ebb N Grow ( buckets )

Hoping someone could steer me into a feeding schedule for flowering.....

Im using 24 buckets with brain on a 50gal Reservoir...

Ive been feeding once every 3 hours for fifteen minutes ... ? So thats 5 times in 12 hours ....


Is this the most i can feed them in the first three weeks or can I increase the amount of times per 12hrs OR for longer periods of time in that feeding cycle ???


Whats Optimum here ?

Help ?

Well... how full do your buckets get in that 15 minutes and why do you think you want to increase the number of times you water them?? VV

About two thirds every time they feed .... there is also a lil left in second bucket afterward that at this point the roots hang in. Because im starting the flowering phase ?

Well .. ok, what mediums are you using in your ebb and grow buckets? What is the total time from pump into the system to empty. The bottom buckets should only have water up to the grommet, fitting, whatever you have there. If the water level is higher than that after your return pump shuts off you may need additional drain time. VV

i agree ....Hydroton... 15 minutes feed time every three hours .... they look great but i was just wondering if im robbing myself on growth potential ? thank you for any and all advise

Before anyone should give a lot of advice on watering schedules for optimum growth the would have to know the "Environment" the plants are in. Generally, methods of constant watering will produce more and require a little more attention.

If your seven basics are 'in balance', you could always add another watering time. The plants will 'tell you' if it is beneficial. It shows up in the color of the leaves and the direction they point. VV
