Hi everyone,
I just finished a soil/perlite/vermiculite grow and I was satisfied with the results but am sure that they werent being watered properly and the soil ended up compacting alot even though it was 40% perlite and 20%vermiculite, so my root system wasnt perfect to say the least.
I've been debating between coco, rockwool, hydroton, and just attempting another soil with a different mix. The main things to keep in mind are that I plan to hand water, and work during the day so only possible to water in the morning and at night at best case. Also I wont have a ph or ec meter for a while because the one I bought last week was lost by a dunce, i mean friend, that i know. And I dont have the money to buy another yet as I need to deal with odor and fix up my exhaust for the winter first.
Ive done a fair bit of looking into these mediums but id like some advice on how difficult its going to be only watering once maybe twice a day and not using a ph meter for the first month or 2, and anything else i need to know.
Thanks![Weed Leaf :leaf: :leaf:](/styles/smilies/weed.gif)
