The Brunch V2 Lovers Cut - Dirty Bird Genetics - first hydroponic grow!

Firstly ph is very important so I use silica as my buffer I mix the required amount of silica into the water , then I use ph down to reduce the ph to between 5.7 & 5.9 Then the nutrients go in at the required rate, the ph should remain where you set it before adding the nutes. As for the aquarium heater is it needed? nutrient solutions perform better at colder temps because oxygen is more available. Unless the solution is below 10 degrees celcius I wouldn't use one personally. Next is root care . To keep the roots in top health I reccomend the use of Mycorrhizae as it will help combat root issues. Finally timers are preferable as all plants require a break (darkness) this allows them to recover from any stress they may endure. Hope this helps mate
