can somebody explain to me how to work with nutrients in hydro? please...

i know i've asked and posted this 1 time already but like i have said before, "i cant get a straight simple answer".

I would like to know
- what i need to buy.
&
- how exactly to use it (like how much to add per gallon, and the schedule for feeding)

i just started growing out of DWC so please try and bear with me.

There is no simple answer to a complex question. There are different approaches andall have their advocates. I think you should pick a good hydro nute product and follow the feeding schedule on their website. They will usually give you ml per gallon for each week. Some add nutes mid week as water is used. others (like me) just add plain water and change the res every week adding the next week's formula then. You can also use something called the Lucas formula, there is a lot of info on that here.

Do What the rest of us did and do some research. instead of complaining that no one will spoon feed you.
There is lots and I mean lots of info on this site for every kind of nute made. how and when to use it and how much. Gotta get off your ass to get on your feet.

There is no straight and simple answer. Every product has different amounts for usage. Pick something thats popular and talked about a lot on here and you will have a TON of ppl sharing their knowledge with you.

Fox Farms
Advanced Nutrients
Humboldt
General Hydroponic

Just to name a few...then they all have their own feeding directions and regimes. Go shopping and do your research. Amazing what you might learn with minimal effort.

ok better question then. can FloraNector be used for Vegging and Flowering?

Does Coca Cola or Pepsi quench your thirst better? does colby cheese or cheddar cheese taste better to you? The grow stores are full of nutrients that work, alot of it is personal preference. Unless your going to mix all the seperate compounds on your own (nitrogen, magnesium etc. etc.) there is going to be some marketing involved. But as there are tons of brands at the grow store that are still selling, there are lots of people out there still using them. Which is better? you'll hear lots of opinions, but they are just that.

simple answer...No.

Dyna-gro has the best off the shelf nutrients out there imo. you can download the guide off their site to walk you through the process.

buy some foliage pro off the web (your local shop probably doesn't have it) and use it all the way through budding.

good luck!

Why wouldn't you read about them before you bought them ? What if they suck and the only good thing to do with them is dump them down the drain.

well i looked on other forums and some people said that there happy with tiger bloom. i got the fox farm grow big kuz it was recommended.
when i read bottles i look for which is for vegetative and bloom and what it the comments say about it. like as far as how they describe it.

you might consider getting some of the ff big bloom with it and have the whole package. I recently was trying to get info on this after I bought some thinking it was all i needed for bloom. Basically you use the big bloom throughout all grow cycles in every watering. It is low in primary nutrients but high in secondary nutes.
