Hydroponics Test Run

AbroCadabro Not sure why General Hydroponics has been left off the list of nutrients but I had to enter them in manually. I recently moved to central Illinois and have my medical patient card which allows me to grow up to 5 plants. I really only need 2 per year. These two plants will grow enough medicine to last me through the next season. The wife won't let me grow in the house so I had to move my tent into the garage which can reach temperatures of up to 100F in the peak of the summer. So, I invested in a hydroponics system with a was chiller. I bought the Vevor 1/2hp water chiller and it has been great so far. The water temp in my resevoir never goes above 68F. I started at week 8 because I had a real bitch of a time getting my system stabalized. This is my first hydroponics grow and I had to learn by trial and error. There is a lot of information out there on the internet that over complicates this process and is generally just bad advice. I have found that the best results for this system revovle around a steril resevoir with a maintained temperature and minimal nutrient application. After I sorted out my feeding schedule and system care, it has been smooth sailing. The water Ph and temperatures remain relatively constant, the exception being when I add fresh tap water to top off the resevoir once a day. A small amount of Ph Down resolves tthe issue quickly and ph swings are rare. I add 30mL of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in each gallon of water that I top off with to prevent root rot and other bacteria from developing in the water. So far the plants have responded well to their environment and are growing rapidly. I will be adding a trellis net next week as the OA#1 is outpacing the SC. I'll just bend the top of the plant over and weave it through the netting while the SC catches up.
