@3rd Monkey I'm going to make a new reservoir with silica blast in it take my PPM and then add 100-200 ppm feed of grow,micro, and calmag to the solution and then at the end add hydroguard and then PH my reservoir.

That should be fine, though you shouldn't need calmag yet. The micro had calcium, and the gro has magnesium. If you start to see a K problem with the silica, take a few cups out and add it back with calmag.

I don't know anything about hydroguard.

Actually you make a valid point I bought that box and it’s supposed to be a complete cycle worth of nutes and it doesn’t have a calmag that came in it. lol I have to be careful because I’m using RO water that comes out at 0 ppm

Hydroguard is just beneficial microbes.

Just so you don't overdo the calcium or magnesium.

If youre adding microbes and then a strong acid, won't it kill them?

I’m going to use this feeding schedule. Starting at 1/4 strength. You think they’re using 500 or 700 ppm scale on here? And it calls for bloom nutes as well.

My plant is currently in reservoir with no nutes can I just pull my plant add my nutes to that reservoir make sure in working my PPM and then PH and then just drop the plant back in it?
You can.

I like to have a second bucket handy that I can put the lid on. I call it the garage bucket. Just plain ph'd water if you're trimming/pruning, peroxide water if you're cleaning, let your ph acids mix up well, etc. Gives you peace of mind knowing the roots are still getting air and water if you have to sterilize a res... You're going to want another bucket lol.

Never met an ex I’d let stay in my house with a pot farm . I’m sure you could swing an easy 3 way .
I’d entertain that idea if ally wasn’t the baddest bitch I’ve ever seen lol. Guess I’m tryin to live right? Idk... I did allot of dirt growing up... decided to play this one right... and it’s paying off

I’ve got another bucket lol I just didn’t want to carry them back and forth. but since you insist I’ll just make my new reservoir up in the other bucket and just switch them out.

You don't have to this time, but when you're fucking with foliage and root balls, it really helps lol.

lol good cause I didn’t wanna fuck with carrying buckets until I get this new tent set up. Lmao. It’ll be much easier once I’ve got it set up. My veg boxes are 3’x3’x3’ under the stairs and it’s a pain where I’m putting my new tents I have a lot of space and head room lol. Got my new tent and my driver for my fourth 96 in the mail today freaking stoked. I’m about to hook them up tomorrow.

My DWC plant looks like absolute dogshit.
Shit happens you’ll be better for it in the long run. These mistakes make us better growers dude. Now you know.

Btw you can put your LED’s 12” at flower. But not during veg. UNLESS you’ve dimmed them to the right PPFD at 12”

It's not much different than soil. Think of the water as your soil, but now your soil reacts much quicker to changes.

Lighting is no different. Too close in soil or DWC is going to end the same.

Even nutrients and ph aren't much different, you just have to monitor more often.

Don't get intimidated by it dude, own that shit. In hydro, you control EVERY aspect of that plants life cycle. It won't be a rocket ship right now, but it'll perk up and take back off.
