General Cultivation Q&A

Hi Guys and girls I am about to take the step from soil to hydro and i need sum nute information. I am aware that since i am useing Hydro stones i will need to use nutes from the very beginning. I also know that i must not start of with full strength solution other wise i will kill my clones. So what i basically need is a weekly calander of both the veg and growth stage listing what strength my nutes should be in PPM. Thanks for any help you guys can give

Will plants grow in a fllod and drain system with just water running and no nutes?

Hi guys. My first question is. Which book available of 420 or another site which some one can supply the link for is the best for indoor growing. By that i mean one that covers both hydro and soil and all the problems that come with. Does such a book exist?? By the way i would prefer an Aus writer. (support my country hehehehe) Second and very diff question. Co2 from home made beer? Ive got a BIG home brewing kit under the house some were and i was think about getting it going just for the CO2 it produces. Now i do have the odd beer but curtainly not in the volumes i will be produceing. Is this worth all the trouble and cost?? Or should i not bother???

browsing through a different Bunnings store today than the one I usually go to and noticed they had "Manutec" hydro nutes. They also had Manutec Bloom Booster, and while the packet didn't say it was for hydroponic use, it said it was water soluble. And then they had all sorts of other ferts that were water soluble. Am I correct in assuming that as long as ferts are water soluble they are OK to use in a hydroponic system?

I'm wondering the best way to cure...I've been told hang the entire plant upside down and let dry (the longest way) to manicuring the buds and putting them in a cardboard box or paper bag to using a food dehydrator. Which way do YOU use? -fishee
