No only add more nutes when you add more water, res changes is when you should add more nutes. I wouldnt even mess with hydro without a PH/PPM pen especially for a newb grower you are gonna have to go by what your plant looks like which isnt that easy for beginners.Good luck.

I don't have a PPM pen either but I was growing in soil for many many years and can pretty much tell by looking what I need to do. One thing that I think is a good rule and that is that less is better than more. If you don't have enough you can always add slowly but if you have to much it's hard to recover.

If you wanna scrogg i suggest a single one per bucket, you can build one quite easy with a bit of pvc and some corner pieces. 1999 PPM is plenty. If your gonna top or fim a scrogg isnt as needed as if you didnt top, both ways id suggest topping asap. 4-8 tops is enough so a to the notes 2-4 times.

I would cut some panda film and place white side up over the net pots. I found that hydroton alone lets light in somewhere, and this causes issues. If you don't have panda film (black/white plastic) then black garbage bag will work, card board, plastic etc.. you get the point.

what ive done in the past is take some black spray paint/primer and paint one side of a paper plate..i then cut a hole in the center about a inch in diameter..i then cut the paper plate in half.

then it is easy to just place the paper plate over your net pot (black side down)and have it snug up against your plant.

so i dont want to see the hydroton at all?that is what you mean right.

yes cover the hydroton with something. All good ideas from previous posters, I like panda film cause its white where plant is and black on hydroton, and its cheap like 1.xx a foot x 10 foot wide.
