Hydroponics

ay wht up i just started 4 white widow plants n a hydro system one has sprouted 2 are starting and the fourth is nothing when should i start full on nutrients and fill the container up?

start a 1/4 strength nutes when the sprouts have established a good root system!!

what is a good ph meter, i don't know what to go with

get the trimeter expensive but worth it

I've been thinking about doing this but it seems like there's something missing. Don't you need tubing set from the top of the baskets?

Thanks, just curious...

how you tell if your plants are male or a beautiful female?

usually you have to wait untill its close to flowering or sometimes a few days or so into flowering to be able to tell the sex, use a magnifying glass.

when you harvest from a plant is there any way to keep it alive for another batch
