zairek Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Awe peeps Want to experiment with a hybrid grow to compare results with soil only medium. Have no experience with hydro, neither do i own any ppm or pH meters. So, what can the forum advise me in terms of nutrition for the hydro section? Currently the soil section is composed of just clean Coco and mycorrhizae, water with a mild compost tea based on date molasses. The liquid nutes I currently have are seagro and kelpak. PS. I did not block out the bottle cos it sits snugly in a black plant pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Now this looks interesting! I've been inspired. In terms of nutes, cheapest would be nutriplex i think, but thats not organic If you can wait 1-2 months, this is worth it https://www.wish.com/c/564da141e104622439304a61 if not, bid or buy has them pretty cheap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks for the link CK, will look into that if this grow has any promise of success. I decided to try this setup to see if I can leave the plant unattended for up to week without the worry of watering. So anyone, can I use seagro and kelpak in the hydro section? Or should I just use plain water in the lower section and feed only the soil section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm not sure about a week coz you water level will drop and your nutrient mix will change as the plant drinks, so your pH might go outta whack... But worth a shot. I like the idea of the bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Roots found their way into reservoir. Need to find a better hydroponic nutrient that won't create residues and cloud the res water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Plant is quite sturdy, but growth has been slower than the traditional soil grow, I'm guessing it's nutrient related. Need to get some biobizz or equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Been a while since I updated this experiment. Going well so far, one week into flower under 200W Red CFL. Habeneros to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Close up, both are OG Kush. Neglected this grow really, did some late lst, therefore slightly dishevelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the bottle Spot on CK as they grow water needs more regular replenishment, which is about once a week, which is cool for a low maintenance grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
