hydroponic newb
    #18906851 - 09/29/13 12:02 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Ok, so somebody gave me some hydroponic gear. I've got a quantity of three different sizes of net pots, the largest being for a 5-gal bucket. Water pump, air pump, I think 3 bubblers, rockwool, clay pellets, etc.

I've never done hydroponics, but I am super excited about this! I've been watching videos on Youtube, and while I appreciate the time people took to make these vids, I'm still left with questions.

With a soil grow, the plants need a substantial about of space for the roots to spread out. But, with hydroponics, is that same space necessary since the roots will not be spreading, but instead, just kind of dangling in the water? Basically, I'm wanting to start with 2 girls... can I grow both of them from seed to weed in one 5-gal bucket?

Also, none of the videos I have watched so far talk about nutrients. How often are nutrients added? Is there just the 5-gal bucket, or is there a separate reservoir container? When its time to add new nutrients, do you replace all the existing water with clean water?  If anyone has any links for a simple 5-gal bucket set-up with diagrams, please share! Also, if it makes any difference, I will be vegging with florescent tubes, and flowering with a 150 watt HPS plus one regular 40w CFL

Thanks in advance!

Oh, also forgot to mention, I'm probably going to attempt a ScroG set-up for the first time, as well, if that makes any difference :smile:

This is the wrong forum for your questions. Try icmag.com, 420mag.com, rollitup.org


Good luck! :peace:

Do the scrog you won't regret it.
Use a simple nutrient regimen for your first grow, I have seen a guy get MASSIVE yields using nothing but General Hydroponics' MaxiGro and MaxiBloom. Go with 1/2 of the dosage in the instructions.
Yes you can go from seed to flower in a 5gal. I have seen people flower plants in muuuch smaller root area. (some nft systems use pvc pipes for the root space)
I would get another 40watt cfl to go on the other side of the hps, and use these for vegging light as well.
