I have a 2 gallon set up which i want to move my clones to after they show roots protruding.
Must note is my first hydro set up, but have 4-5 soil grows with very decent results.
I have a decent handle what the plants need as lights go, temp and humidity, venting and air momement and such everything else like that.
But how to mix a hydro solution to replace the dirt still is confusing. I understand the mechanics of giving the plants roots oxygen and its nutrients through a moving medium(the water) instead of soil
Heres my solution i mixed according the the directions on the bottles
I ph'd the water from about 7 down just below 6.0 then added
Earth Juice Grow 45mL/gallon
Earth Juice Bloom 5mL/gallon
Earth Juice Catalyst 5mL/gallon
Earth Juice MicroBlast 10mL/gallon
Was mixed for a Vegative cycle
That solution was added to a 2 gallon Rubbermaid tote with 2 5inch diameter bubblers making bubbles as a DWC system. This system is setting next to my cloning rubbermaid which I have several clones rooting. Each tote was made to hold 15 2inch baskets
Well as my heading said I had a big brown frothy mess, the hydro solution I mixed boiled over like a pot on the stove with a Brown Nasty Foamy Water.
CAN I GET SOME INPUT ON MIXING OF HYDRO SOLUTIONS
