Some where in the near future, i may embrace the dark side of growing...mwahauhau
Yup i may give up the organic 'n' dirt aproach for a period of time or intill i feel i've master hydro atleast.
So i'm pretty sold on the idea of an hempy bucket style of grow with 75% perlite & 25% vermiculite mix in a 10 litre bucket with aprox 2 litre mini reserva in base of bucket.
From what i understand about watering hempys is that you get 10% run off from drainage holes, this replaces lost nutrients & helps keep PH/EC stable intill you raise EC levels depending on stage of growth etc.
Which i'm planning on making it a D.I.Y recirculating system via a dripper feed.
This puts on par with nft/dripper/ebb & flood systems which use a reserva !
My question is how often do you guys monitor EC/PH levels to maintain optimal conditions ?
I plan to flush a small reserva 20l to 30l aprox once a week with the system supplying 4 plants only.
