Hydroponic Help needed

Sep 08, 2006 1 Replies

Hi all,



Let me 1st get something out of the way. I'm growing veggies and need some advise from experienced hydroponic gardeners. Not pot growers... its 2 totally different animals.



My Setup: Drip System



25 gallon resivior
3 - 14foot troughs filled with cyrpess mulch as a growing medium. Flora Series nutes. feeding 30 minutes on 1 hour off.

am having to recharge my tank every 3 days and using close to 11 oz. of Gro, 9 oz of Micro and 4 oz. of bloom during the vegitative stage is going to break me. I buy the quart sizes for 32 dollars and this is going to break me.



So my question is, what can I do to keep my costs down and my harvest up?



I've heard of people using mirclegro tomato, epsom salt and nitrate for nutes but I am scared of killing all of my plants.



help! :)

Try two hours off? Seems like a lot of watering going on there...

VF11 is actually pretty good for nutes, too, surprisingly. I've only used it a few times, but never had a problem.
