DWC questions

[Itibitiguy]

I've got the full story posted in journal but I'm moving to dwc and have a few questions

First is can my pump support 2 buckets? It is a marina 100.

Second is tds...1000 in veg and 1200 for flower, and 400 for finish?

Third, I just top off the bucket with ph'd water durning the week?

Forth, I change the nutrients every week ? Do I prepare another clean bucket with nutrients and just swap the plant and cage to the new bucket? Or do you just empty the bucket and add new?

Thanks iti

First is can my pump support 2 buckets? It is a marina 100.

Be careful using one pump for two bucket reasons: If the pump breaks it takes out both of your buckets. How much gph is your pump?

Second is tds...1000 in veg and 1200 for flower, and 400 for finish?

Yes that is real high for DWC veg around half of that about 500 ppm's and flower should be around 600 ppm's. Don't worry about finishing ppm's.

Third, I just top off the bucket with ph'd water durning the week?

Your buckets of solution need changed every 6 to 10 days. Dis-guard solution outside in your yard or garden.

Forth, I change the nutrients every week ? Do I prepare another clean bucket with nutrients and just swap the plant and cage to the new bucket? Or do you just empty the bucket and add new?

Every change you will start out at zero ppm's and build from there.

Start a journal and I will follow along.
