    Nutrient amounts: Mixing for soil vs. hydro

    Double checked the jar. It says 4 tsp/gal for a garden and 1tsp gal for house plants. Again, these are directions for soil and I'm using a DWC hydro. So, do I still want 1 tsp per gallon for the DWC bucket or am I using half (.5 tsp per gallon)?

    Nutrient amounts: Mixing for soil vs. hydro

    So I want to use about half of what the jar recommends. is that universally true (Unless it's made for Hydro, of course)?

    Fair enough. I'm not sure where one buys 30% peroxide from. I'll see if I can dig it up. If not, i will grab a scale and go the "Pool shock" route. Thanks again for all the help guys! I'll let you know how plant number two turns out!

    Okay...while I'm waiting on the PH meter from Amazon, I checked using the drops. The tap water was showing a PH of 7 and the water, in the bucket, was showing 4.5. Not sure what is causing it to get so acidic, but I have to wonder if it has anything to do with the algae/bacteria that killed...

    Nutrient amounts: Mixing for soil vs. hydro

    Okay, so...I have a small container of 20/20/20 powder that I want to mix for hydro. The direction on the side say: 2tsp per gallon (or whatever the measurement), but that is for watering over soil. My question is, do I use the same strength for DWC hydro solution or do I use less nutrients...

    Well...that's cheap! lol. Hmmm...Do you have an opinion on the quality/results of bleach vs. pool shock vs. Hydrogen Peroxide?

    That seems like a VERY small amount. Is that all you find you needed?

    I think I have a handle on this, a lot more than I did before you guys helped out. So..I don't have an amazing scale for using pool shock so, can I use bleach or peroxide (as Lpena007 suggested)? Or should I shell out for the scale? If bleach is okay (or peroxide) how much and how frequently...

    Yeah, just checked it. The water in the bucket it sitting at 78F today.

    That was the temp, last time I checked, but I think it was hitting MUCH warmer temps, on and off, over the month or so I was running it.

    How about a yellow TDS pen and a blue PH pen? lol.

    At this point, I need to figure out how to deal with the temp. I suspect it was the main cause of the algae bloom. I would LOVE to keep this plant alive but, in all honesty, the branches are laying flat against the stalk and the leaves are mostly shriveled.

    The prices on these things vary greatly (As do the reviews). Any recommendations that won't break the bank?

    Yeah, I'm not going for anything large scale. Just a single plant, in a small tent. Growing some personal. I have a fairly green thumb when it comes to soil growing, but I am SO out of my league here with Hydro. But...I WANT to learn it and get good at it. So...next step for me is to get a...
