I have a bunch of hydro gear, it has been sitting for a while now. I think some technology has changed in the last couple of years and I am just trying to figure out what is reccomended on certain hydro situations and not really finding the answers I need with the search function. I have been reading old posts for a couple weeks now and still have many basic questions.
I have 4 waterfarms, each has 8 buckets plus the reservoirs, I plan to keep 16 mothers in 2 of the waterfarms, and use the other 2 for 16 large plants. I have the BC grow 3 part nutrient mixture. I have used it in the past with great results. I have 3 unused gallons of the complete system left over from about 2 years ago, I am assuming it will still be good to use. I currently only have a TDS pen, but fully plan to get a PH pen as soon as I can. What should my TDS reading be for the vegging mothers? I keep it between 550 and 650.
NEXT I also have 2, 4'X8' ebb and flow tables. Each with a 70 gallon reservoir. My first question is, can I use 1 reservoir to feed 2 tables as long as I stagger their ebbs and flows with a timer?
What should I keep the TDS level at for flowering clones on the tables?
I previously never flushed my reservoirs in the past, and now fully intend to do so. I never heard of doing that in the past, but it makes perfect sense to do so.
BTW, I will be using 2, 1000 watt lights on each ebb and flow table, I want to build 2 more to have a total of 4, 2 pairs sharing a reservoir if possible.
I have a 60 space cloning unit I will be using to make my clones.
I also have the very first hydro system I p[layed with. I built it all from things found at home depot, it is an aeroponic unit that houses 60 plants. I may put some clones in it as well.
Thank you and have a good day.

I will point our hydro guru's in this direction, sweetie, and they will guide you in this.

I am a dirt grower, so hold tight, they will help you out.

Peace

Hey KYNC,you can run two tables on one res,but the plants will have to be in the same life cycle.{veg}or{flower} and they will have to be the same age with in a week of each other. The BC techaflora nutr are good nutr.Check them and see if they are still good.Shake the bottles and if they sound like there's hard stuff hitting the bottles there no good.Pour some in a glass and look at them.If you see stuff like it soilds thoss them out and get fresh nutrs.The tds for clones starting out should be around 300 to 600 ppm.In flowering the ppm's go's up some to start and tops out at around 1400 to 2000 ppm's.I dont keep mothers in hydro any more,they grow faster and if you have a problem you can kill them all.I keep them in soil and feed them when they need it.They will get all they need from the soil.Before you start you need to have a PH pen or meter or your shooting in the dark.The right PH will make or brake the grow.Start your clones on a low ppm and build up to a higher ppm as they grow.What kinda of water do you have to use?That help. Peace
