question about neuts

I decided to take the DWC plunge so I have a question,

I have a 15 gal rubber maid tub I plan on running 2-4 plants in, Got a grey one so I painted the outside and the lid black to prevent light in the root zone, Eco air 2 adjustable dual output air pump ( 4.5 liters per min air output at max setting ) 1 - 6'' bar air stone, 1 - regular old aquarium air stone, 6 = 5'' net pots, sun leaves ph neutral rocks for my medium ( couldn't find any hydroton in my area ) and 2x23w 2700k cfl and 2x42w 6500k cfl for full spectrum coverage and all of this inside a 4hx4lx3w grow box I built to grow in.

I was wandering if Technaflora recipe for success is a good neut package to start out with for beginners and what success anyone has had with those neuts.

I am not nessasarly looking for huge yeald but more high quality as I am growing for personal medical use so potency is more of a concern than quantity.

I have no idea what strains my seeds are as most of it comes from michigan medical bag seed but from the smoke they came from I do know most are of an indica of some sort. ( I am in indiana so there are no dispenseries her as it isnt legal yet 8( )

SO, with that setup in mind any advice would be helpful, Thanks!

Never used those nutes so no clue on that but as long as you have a TDS meter start at 25ppm of nutes at seed pop and increase at a rate of 25 PPM every 7 days. if you can't figure out how much nutes = 25 ppm I would recommend the GH Flora 3 part because they have a PPM calculator on their site that helps you determine that. Other then that I would run at least 4 plants because your not using cones or fem seeds so hopefully you end up with just 2 because 2 plants are the max I would want to flower in that space. Of course you need more bulbs once in flower, if your going the CFL route you can get some 65 watt decent bulbs from amazon for around $15 a piece.

Any specific questions you have I would be happy to help. =)

coolies, Thanks guys, I am hoping Indiana goes at least medical in 2014 so I don't have to grow in a damn box lol and can let my girls stretch out a bit. everyone around us is already , michigan, illinois now, kentucky is considering, tennessee considering, we have a bill in our general assembly but our governor is too connected with the private prison industry so...

i would increase a little more than 25 ppm a week though. it would take you all year to get to 1000 ppm lmao.

i have never used the nutes, but i promise the best thing your can do is simply read the hell out of your labels and try find a good feed scedule

Well, Had a setback and killed my first batch of girls......:shock: But I have had seedlings in veg for roughly 15 days give or take and I just transplanted them into the DWC. Im Starting at 1/4 strength on the recipe just for a measure of safty. I do have access to seeds with Known genetics now, but I am gonna have to wait to get any, But not to worry, I have a vast seed stock I have collected over the last few years of Dank , As to what strains and phenotypes they are I have no clue. Started collecting them before people were naming strains really lol back when there were 3 kinds of cannibis, Killer, decent, and bullshit lol and I only collected from my killer bags. Sucks I dont know what they are as far as strains go but hey atleast its the good stuff lol
