Great post! Us hydroponic growers always love helping and never hurts to learn something new along the way.

Here’s a question for hydro growers…

What is it that you like about using hydroponics as your choice of growing?

Me personally I like knowing what exactly my ladies are getting and when they’re getting it. Takes all the guess work out of trying to diagnose a troubled plant

No mess, i dont have to deal with dirt.
Bugs - Bugs live in dirt.
Nutrients in dirt get used and without a spectrometer you cant really tell what to add to make it perfect.

Watering and maintaining 6 plants from a centralized point. Dump a 5 gal bucket of food mix in the res and done.

Real time constant PH and PPM readings with a monitor

Consistent environment- every plant gets exactly the same food. If one gets grumpy it teaches you how to dial them all in even better.

Temperature Control of root zone - Can keep the root zone at 66- 68 degrees and canopy 75 degrees.

With active filtration i dont ever need to change the water.
