well I'm using a 18gallon tote, with 2 14'' airstones. Water is moving nicely.
I'm taking my plants from soil and moving to the dwc system.
My question is this. I'm using general hydro flora nutes, i have all 3, grow, micro and bloom. What mix should i use and do i need to put nutes in as soon as i move the plants into the dwc system?
I was using the micro and grow, mixed @ 2tsp per gallon. I have 14gallons of water int he resv, h however i mixed to 12 gallons because i didn't want to mix to much. is that OK?
or should i be using a different mix setup?
the reason I'm asking is i always seem to have the rust spots on the bottom leaves and then a little gold yellow color on the new growth. cant seem to get it right for some reason..

i would go 1/4 nute and use hydroguard,hydrozyme,to help with dirt in the water.i went from soil to dwc too, couldnt get all the soil from the roots and just used tap water for the first few weeks and they had alot of problems with nute diff and root rot

ok cool, here are a couple pics from my other system, this one has some of the same problem, but not as bad. I'm using 2 14'' air stones in my system, so the water is really rolling. however i added Bloom to my mix, the guy at the hydro said to mix all 3 because it will need the nutes from the bloom as well. So i did, i also added 6tsp of Epsom salt to the 14 gallons in the resv. these plants have been in since 11-8 and were only 2'' tall when i transplanted, I'm very pleased with the growth, just worried about the deficiency somewhere.
as you can see 4 of the 5 look good, but there are a couple that don't look so good.
also i have no idea what kind of plants they are, so if anybody wants to take a stab at what kind they could be, feel free..
