Being on a limited budget due to disability, I purchased some "slightly used" items that I needed to do my own grow. Everything so far is great, and in very good condition ... The only question that I have concerns with is the product line of nutrients that came with the items. They are from Advance Nutrients and the following is a listing of products that came in the "kit" ; Organic Iguana Juice Bloom, Organic Iguana Juice Grow 3-1-3, Sensi Zym, Liquid carboLoad, Voodoo Juice, Ph Up Concentrated, Ph Down Concentrated, Grandma Enggy's F-1, Grandma Engyy's H-2 ... Most of these are 1 liter each and unopened.

I plan on Bubbleponics as the grow method, and Hydroton pellets as the medium ... Am I going to need anything else? It just seems that I am missing something but just cannot put my finger on it ...

As always, thanks so very much for stopping by and for the response that I get ... It always is appreciatted from me ...

for hydro....

air: air pump(s), tubing, the little stones at the end of the tubing, the little T connecters...
water drip: water pump, tubing, T connecters, and a drip system/mist nozzle/or a regulator valve so you can have just the end of the tube hanging there with a drip every few seconds
i used a coco fiber core, in the grodan growblock, surrounded by the hydroton balls, inside a mesh basket...
also, a temp gauge for the air (cheap, walmart 20bucks) and another for inside the reservoir of water (fish section). also maybe an aquarium heater (if the water is cold).
mylar wrap for more light reflection - optional (recommended)
a fan.
a bucket for reserve water.
a metric-shit ton of tape (duct tape. electrical tape)...
you need lights,
and a pH test kit.
and a timer switch for your lights (needed by flowering, for veg just go 24/0, thats what i do, also if your using metal halide or some HID lamp, get the timer now, those 6 less hours of 'lights on' time, is a lot on the electric bill. for CFLs 24/0 is fine.)


Click under here at my first grow, that was hydro, good results. hope it helps =)

If your on a budget go with J.R peters nutrients. Ive use just bout all the other brand and its all the same crap. J.R Peters is bout 5$ per pound that easily lasts 2-3 months.

Thanks Nick for the rundown, but I already have all of those materials ... I was looking more along the side of nutrients, wereas it seems that I was missing something during the veg and flowering stages ... But your rundown was great, and thanks so very much for the post ...

They come with it just look up the Hydroponics one. it should be 5 -12-26 for veg and the 10-30-20 bloom booster for bud. Also get some calcium nitrate, you add the same amount of the calcium as you would of the base nut. So if you're using a tsp of the 5-12-26 you would also add a tsp of the calcium nitrate and so on.
