New hydro grower questions

[GrowerGoneWild]

I need some guidance. I’ve done a soil-less garden before and fed only with compost tea with success, but that was 6 to 7 years ago. I’m wanting to step-up my game and re-start with a hydro garden. I’m attempting to figure out which nutrients to go with, but I have a few questions… Maybe some of you hydro guys can help me decide which nutrients to pick and some grow guidance. I understand that there isn’t a finite solution for all nutrients. I have a few questions that could maybe shed some light on what I should do. A good part of my questions are to help me figure out a budget for nutrients.

1. What nutrients do you use?

2. What size reservoir do you use?

3. How much nutrients do you feed per growing stage?

4. How many times do you do a reservoir change per Week? … Month?

5. Do the amount of reservoir changes change per grow stage?

6. Should I rely on the manufacturers dosing charts?

I’ve been using this on my clients grows, effective and easy,

1. Canna Coco, Canna Nutrient line. Botanicare for Calmag

2. You dont need a res, I would suggest a holding tank of some sort, you can hand water. rule of thumb for me 5 gallons ready for each plant.

3. Follow canna chart, go with a medium strength feed. For example Canna A+B, in soft water is 10 ml per gallon.
   2 ml a gallon of Botanicare Calmag as late as 2 weeks of bloom, then cut that off.

4. No res needed for handwater or drip to waste…

5)Yes Canna feed chart works good,

Roughly 25 USD to do canna coco per plant in 3 gallon smart pots for nutrient cost.
