Ok I'm thinking about going hydro for the first time. I've watched plenty of videos on it but never actually did it yet. On a really tight budget I notice when Miracle grow is used for hydro solution the undissolved salts are visible and remain in the bottom of the reservoir. Is this bad? How can you get this to go away, if possible?
What would be the most cost effective product for a hydro solution for early veg? Just have clones right now thanks.

Just blaze

I wouldn't recommend Miracle Grow for your nutrient solution. They use Urea (piss) for their nitrogen. Buy a couple of small bottles of Botanicare Kind Grow mix. This is two part mix. Follow the instructions on the back. Better yet get a bag of high quality soil. I'd focus on getting good genetics. It's all about the strain.

Nutrients are one of the cheapest of the supplies you need. LIghts are the most important/expensive. After you're up and running, power is your #1 expense. You have to be realistic. If you can't afford good nutrients then you have a lot more problems to worry about then growing pot.

If you're trying to save some money, you may want to check out Jack's hydroponics by Peter's. $50 for a 25lb bag. I haven't heard much about anyone using it, but I know Peter's has worked fantastically for outdoor plants. They do know their plant science.
