You change every 7 days even though veg..?

Every 7 to 10 days, yes

 

I tried the Lucas Formula with the add backs, but I personally didn't like it. So I went back to a 2 part + roots excel or rapid start

I was hoping if I went sterile dwc, I could maybe get away with less frequent res changes.

 

But the soil type medium sounds easier.

 

Where is a good local seller of nutes? As in Australia. That will post. No hydro shop in my town anymore. Would like to keep it basic as possible. Was thinking of just trying the Bunnings hydro range. Still have a couple of weeks until I have all the stuff gathered, so I can still change things up at the moment.

Does Bunnings have a hydro range? I knew they used to carry Yellow Bottle, but haven't seen that in a while.

 

You might be interested in no-till, but I'm not the one to help with that. I've just seen people with great results with it

My local Bunnings has manutec, I think, hydro range. 3 or 4 different bottles. The usual veg flower and some other stuff. Its about 13 bucks a bottle.

 

No till? I'll search around for it. Thanks man.

Not sure soil is any easier than water culture. For simple think run to waste; perlite, clayballs, coir mixes, blumats, hempy buckets, etc.

 

Here's a couple of links to get you going on making your soil and hydro mixes, covers porosity, pH, nutrient exchange, etc. You can get everything you need at Bunnings and there's plenty of info on coir getting around.

I’d recomend either tipping the plants to create more heads or if the snapping/bending technique it’s hard to get yourself to do it at first but the amount of new heads that come up is crazy
