Hey OldSchool, welcome to the forum I was wondering what kind of hydro set-up are you running and how have you noticed the "indusrty" change over the years? I'm thinking mainly of technology and technique here.

I run a flood and drain system. link below
https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/462248-old-hydro-grow.html
As far as technology I think the amount of equipment available for automation is outstanding. The lights and especially hoods available now I never had access to. The nute selections, ph-ppm meters etc.
As far as technique the amount of information from the internet has made alot easier for growers. I went to alot of librarys and read all I could, I remember ordering nutes from a company I found in popular mechanics. The amount of different ways people grow now is incredible, the root balls on the bubble buckets are also incredible.
All I have ever run was dry nutes and the nute market now is huge business along with all the other products available now.
I'll try to add to this post as I can, the memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Way to shit on the OP's thread. If you boys want to fuck...get your own thread. He was introducing himself, not asking which people couldn't act their age.
So OldSchool, do like the availability of nutrients today or do you miss the days of popular mechanics? lol I didn't realize it, but I've seen your set up on another forum, see ya around.

Ok man.. calmly read this post. As I wrote it, sipping on my vape...
you dudes all need to put each other on ignore. How can you suggest something that you should be doing as well? Rhetorical question, I am not looking for a response. But you guys are all turning this into the Oregon thread and that's not good.
I'm not saying stop posting and stop giving your viewpoints. I like reading everybody's thoughts here, as well as adding my own. And the debate will always be there, but keep it about the issue not about each other.
For the sake of MI medical forum, just put each other on ignore and chill for a minute. Oh yeah, and medicate. I apologize for this post this is exactly what should not be in new guys thread.
Welcome by the way

I think the nutes available today are way overpriced and people are paying alot just for water, and I think that some of those nute companies don't really care about growers just the profits, maybe some of the owners of those companies are here answering questions? I don't know? I do know 1 of the so called mj nute companies is using urea nitrogen in their hydro version instead of nitrate and that is just being cheap as you can be, urea has no place in hydro, maybe in real small quanities but I try to avoid it.
The next nute I am going to try is Peters pro series dry nute, alot of people like them. 1/2 tsp of the 5-11-26 and 1/4-1/2 tsp of the cal nitrate per gallon and your good to go. It is a hard page to read, black background.

People can learn more now on the net in a day that what I could learn in years back then.
And as far as being late to the party? I don't post much, I've got cancer and a bad heart (3 heart attacks) and just wanted to share info while I still can.
I would like to be there on the 7th but I think I will be back in the hosptial tomorrow so all of you that are going thank you so much.

LOVE to hear opinions from an old school cat;welcome. please forgive my rant. I'm all +1 on nute companies ripping you off. it's a formula for them water+ pretty picture+ color+ impossible promises in a neat container=proft for the most part. I've done some clone studies of my own on nutrients and can't find anything that works better then you're run of the mill tomato food (I'm a soil guy now, when using hydro I never strayed from general hydroponics). welcome, and forgive me you seem a straight shooter and here for all the right reasons. My bad.

I ended up having surgery again last week for my heart, sore and just resting. At least it gives me a chance to read up on UC grows.

Finally starting to feel better and back on my feet. I've decided to build some dwc buckets and if anyone can hook me up with some seeds please pm, I would be extremely grateful.

I'd order them online man. Guaranteeing your genetics is your first key to success. Do a little research on good breeders. I suggest Sannie myself but I know there are other good ones also through The Attitude also, depending on what you're looking for.. Sannie is A+ though man and guaranteed delivery.

I appreciate the info, I was just hoping to keep the $$ here in MI. I see lots of clones for sale here but no seeds.
