I do. When I mix my nutes I start with my silica blast and mix then my cal mag and nutes and mix them my bennies and mix then my Z7 and mix. Ready for the garden. Same if I'm doing a rez fill or top off.

I helped a buddy setup his hydro dewey system and yea we kept having that same problem. The misters at the end not even dribbling any water out but the first ones were spraying outa control lol. So we got a bigger pump and a bigger manifold to handle all the pots. Then we had to make sure all tubes where SAME length once that all got done we jus had to turn up the dial on the pump till all the sprayers were going evenly so try getting a nice manifold and a pump with a dial on it tht allows u to turn up n down the power flow maybe that will help ur setup along with making the tubes same length. Anyway good luck buddy.

Does the main pvc tube that comes from the res. Does that need to be above the rim of the planter? Cause wen I helped a buddy setup his drip feed we jus had it on the ground and ran lil drip tubes to each plant. But the pump would have to run the water up the side of the pot. Would things have run better if I had the main tube from the res. Up higher near the rim of the pots versus the floor??Here is something similar to what I run

When I set mine up I thought about it and wonder the same thing. I did run the pvc higher but then my tubing going to the pots were lower and sat on my drip table and it didn't make a difference. I think if you would be using nutes that might be heavy it might settle into the bottom of the tubes. I was using Great White and it doesn't dissolve so I changed to Orca which is almost the same thing but a liquid. After I harvested I tore the whole thing down and found it almost completely clean. Z7 is key to keeping things clean.

No I don't think it is worth it. I use carboload to feed the microbes and I see no difference running carboload to bud candy. Its just sugar. don't waste your money.
Yes ive used b-52 but I don't use it any more. its not necessary in my schedule. just be careful because it will bump your EC/PPM.up considerably.

Thanx man if u dnt mind me askn what all do u use for a nute line up??
I use carboload as well, bud candy is a waste.

Yea i figured tht as well when I was looking at shit to get and I already had the Carboload and overdrive so figured it wasn't needed.

I have my nutes listed in this journal and if you look in my signature I have a comprehensive feed schedule on the coco thread.

Cult have you seen the Raw Soluble nutrients from NPK industries? Guy named Harley Smith. I price them for a 200l res at 4 weeks veg and 8 week flower. Comes to about €500 all in. There all individual elements or minerals. I think he only grows vegetables but his theory is pretty spot on. He calls it spoon feeding

no ive never used or heard of it but the fact he states to fertilise in coco twice per week and use only water in between would concern me.
I've heard of them. I would micro feed them with every water. Idk about dumping a spoon full of fullstregth anything ever. But I know you can do it with RAW... again just feel that's more of a soil approach personally. I think the products would do great if fed with every feed at appropriate levels.

How to grow in Coco - Feed schedule
Here is the link to my coco thread. It has a full and comprehensive feed schedule there.

Coco is hydro.
I don't run RDWC because I run many rooms and its expensive to set up and more can go wrong. I like rdwc but for smaller set ups, I wouldn't set a room up for someone else ti look after because they likely to mess it up. Coco is more forgiving when errors are made but grows just as fast as any other hydro set up when done properly.
REMEMBER COCO IS HYDRO, we aren't treating it like hydro.

I hope I'm not disturbing with all these questions, hope you dont mind... I would like to hear your opinion on harvest and cure?
Is it necessary to do 2 days dark before chop? Do you prefer hanging the branches until stem snap or use a dry rack with all the buds trimmed there?
How long and in what conditions you dry and cure afterwards? Do you use jars? Is it worth it using something like Final Phase or Flora Kleen or just use plain water the last week from your schedule?
Thank you!

I don't leave dark periods before harvest. I used to do it all the time but since I stopped im getting far less bud rot. I would get rot every single grow just about, now I get much less and to be honest I don't think it makes any difference to the final product. the buds will continue to ripen after you chop anyway.
I hang stems or whole plants depending on the plant size and the location im at. I stopped using drying racks a couple years ago and now I see a far superior product. the buds just dry nicer and a little slower which isn't a bad thing. I dry in the dark with lots of moving air around 65f and I have a dehumidifier set at 50%. I normally dry like this for 5 to 7 days, it depends on the size and density of the buds and that varies a lot strain to strain. then everything goes into paperbags or large plastic bags depending where in Europe the grow is. in the paper bags they are split into oz bags and its gone once its dry, there is no cure for anything retail, thats on the buyer. in the plastic bags its set into 1kg bags and sealed and opened every couple days for a couple weeks before its vac packed and shipped to its destination.
for flushing I tend to use only plain water. if they have had really heavy feeds then I may use something like you mention just to wash the extra salts out but normally around 7 days of water will do it for coco

Heres a few pics of some Amnesia Haze. It doesn't look bad considering the conditions it grown in.
