Gary's show is great. Wish his store was closer. We need more guys like this.
Thank you for providing the grow community with your knowledge it’s been very helpful
It's really nice of you to bring attention to the proper way of feeding. I would say people skip the most important part, reading the entire food schedule instead of just the when and how much. I've walked into grows expecting life and seen nothing but death. Leaves every color but green and what they call frost is nothing but light burn & deficiencies, medium looking like cement but when you give them good information they already know their stuffs fire.👍🏻
Cool to see you here getting that knowledge thats what im always doing and passing it on to you all
Thank you for the honesty, nutes r expensive
I love the blunt simplicity. And a fellow pa native you got a sub let's grow. Lol great content thanks
In the past i tried to follow the guidelines, but as you say, there are so many factors to consider, so what i'm doing with my hydroponics system in regards to feeding is simply measure the EC in the reservoir.
If i see the EC goes down in the reservoir, then the plants used up more nutrients than water, and for the next feeding schedule i raise the nutrient solution by a small factor (maybe 0.2).
If i see the EC goes up, then there was more water used than nutrients, and i lower the nutrient solution by a small factor (i know could also be due to water vaporization).
If i see the EC value stayed the same, then i keep that level of EC..
That's to me the only real way to figure out what suits your specific setup, as long as you measure daily and still drain the reservoir every week to 10 days or so.
When it comes to mixing solution, i usually just start with a liter or two, mix all the nutrients in the right combination, and then add RO water until the required EC level is reached. Then i check how much this is in total, so i know for future reference how much I approximately need (note, i have a small setup, so i don't mix it in the reservoir directly, but move it over, when it's completely done).
This little chart may help you - I've been using it for quite some time:

You Rock dude thank you for honesty..
I live your videos. So much info and so direct and easy to follow. One thing is that I wish that your audio was a little bit louder. It's clear but quieter than any other video I watch. Other than that, please keep up the great videos, I watch them all.
Well holy shit I had no idea I’m supposed to flush more than once lol thanks for the info!!
I'm in the middle of my first hydro grow, a 3-plant trickle system from a 6-gallon res, under a Mars TS-1000. I'm using Jack's 3-2-1 nutes at about 50% "book" strength (800 ppm over "pure" well water, which is 200 ppm out of the tap). The 50% seems to be just what my plants want, but I'll raise it to 75% 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after the flip.
YES GARY!!!!!! THANK YOU!
There are some lame videos out there on hydroponics for sure. Glad your videos are opposite that camp. Even when the audio levels seem crazy low at times its still good content.
Please do more hydro videos, I enjoy all of them. If you're done with the hydro videos is all good.
Thank you Gary!
Get a good PH/EC/TDS tester, keep a log, and let your plants be your guide. Great stuff.
Looking at setting up my first tent DWC grow and your videos are very helpful.
Cheers from Canada.
Thanks :) G
Shout out from Winnipeg
Thank you Gary! Greatly appreciated.
This is the best video explaining the difference between feeding with the right light key ingredient for your best grow excellent knowledge 💪👀💯
Look yall, feeding your plant cannot be guided by an internet article like he says. Smaller plants require lower ppm. Larger plants require higher ppm. Watch the growth of your plant. Look at the leaves, stalk and roots. The goal is to keep your plant just below nutrient burn. Maximize your ratios.
Fantastic. Fair play from the emerald isle.
thanks OG i been catching on to it tryna get it down into words and u did it for me thankyou ... my best grow has been me feeding when i thought plant was hungry instead of following peoples
Amen, that's church
BIG Thanks Gary, great tips, I really appreciate your videos ...
Thanks so much! Have a good week! Gary
Thank you so much. These videos are indispensable to me now.
Couldn't put it better myself! 💚🙌💯
Good content ...and the small guy counts ....love yall keep up the good work 💪
Thanks for the info Gary subbed! Shucks I live in hawaii so cant come into the shop but appreciate the information and product demonstrations!
Watched a few of your videos before. This one got me to subscribe. Imperitive information to have. Thank you.
Great show ..you nailed it..hope people really listen.
did the chap say to change the water/nutrients every week when the plant is flowering if growing with hydro?
Hello, yup for biggest yield change every week, we have done tests with 2 weeks , 10 days and 1 week and 1 week was the best yield from the plants. Thanks for watching! Gary
LOVE this clarification.... something i am still unclear about even though it's often talked about is like when you say, say the professionals may be growing under 1000 watt light and this person saying cut feed in half is growing under 100 watt light... i have a cheapo light that got lots of good reviews that uses 65 watts of light but says it effectively creates 600 watts of light (LED of course) ... so when you and others are saying 100 watts or 1000 watts is that the electrical usage or is that the "effective" light produced? Thank you!
I am 2 hours away..in Valley Forge..setting up a 4x2 grow tent ..for my first indoor grow this winter '20-'21..will be driving to check out the store and get any accessories that didnt come with the kit..will also probably bombard you with questions you've answered a gazillion times...will come prepared with specs on my equiptment ...im eager to learn..see ya soon..excited to possibly be a new loyal ..and semi-local customer...

@@PAHydroponics thanks for the feedback and i couldnt agree more!.. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state and we are truly fortunate to live here.
I love your vids, I find them quite educational without any bullshit, keep them coming mate,
Thank you :) I try to keep it simple for beginners, it can be overwhelming to get into this hobby. Have a good one!~ G
Thank you !!
while running fox farms i ran 100 percent strength with a 200 watt light. harvested just over a half lb..
You need to balance Nutrient Element Ratio (NER) and Electrical Conductivity (EC)
Mix nutrients at full strength to get the correct NER and then add RO water to get the right EC/PPM’s for the stage the plant is in..
Example
You mix nutes at full strength and it comes out at 1000ppm’s but you only need 700 then water it down to 700 ppm’s.. you’ll have the correct NER and EC and this is how it’s done ✅
Some lines of nutrients that won't work. Try it with Nectar for the gods, you can't mix the different nutrients i.e., Athenas Animus, or Herculean Harvest. It will coagulate! I mix separate every gallon of nutrient enriched soil for separate plants. I do not mix a larger quantity, for beginner or intermediate growers it is best to keep it simple. A lot has changed, I started growing in 1971. Back then where I lived the Marijuana was sold as lids, in Detroit they used actually lids, but I don't remember exactly which one. They also would do a 1,2, or 3 finger bag because that is how much it would be in the bag. It was all leaf back then seriously unless you came across some Columbian red, or Acapulco gold. It was nothing man back then, looking back I don't I got really stoned until 69' off of some sensi a bandmate grew that was it! The weird thing was when I started growing sensi at first you couldn't sell it people weren't hip enough when I started, and the seeds I was giving to start growing was Afghani Kush, the real kush from the Kushstan part of Afganistan. Well I got to go and to you beginners you don't know how easy you have it now days, try hauling water and fertilizer through the woods and hopping fences getting thorns poked in you, and you didn't dare go to your plants anytime you wanted, now we can just look through our windows!
I’m talking about salt based nutrients only..

Hey! I use 200w LED!...like 12 of them, but still, get with the times man, better spectrum, better efficacy.
JK, good info. My plants usually jump after a flush, I try to go lights, but one or two flushes always helps.
thanks a lot your video made me a master grower best vid i ever seen!
Hey, Gary, I would like to say your videos help a lot man thank you! I'm grasping the understanding of PPMS and how to add nutrients for your first fill and flushes. Can you go over how to add nutrients when the PPMs are running low for example what to add etc? I will soon be buying your Fallponic 4 bucket top feed system for a 5x5 gorilla tent.
Hey there, pretty much the plants eat 25% nutes and use 75% water so when you top off you should top off with a 25% mix of what you normally do. Hope this helps. Gary
@@PAHydroponics thank you
How do you flush when using dwc growing method. Great info by the way! Keep it up✌🏻
Hello, flushing DWC ( deep water culture ) is pretty simple, dump out all the nutes and fill up with plain water about 5 to 7 days before harvest, the plant will realize there is no more food at root zone and will start using up the stored food in its leaves and branches. You also can use a flushing solution in the water to help break down salts that are stuck to the roots, flushing solutions instructions vary per brand. hope this helps! Flushing hydro is much easier than soils.Gary
I use 60/40 perlite and coco, and use a 1000w hps, I've heard that as long as I water until I get runoff every time I water, I don't have to worry about salts building up, I'm fairly new, I use the full general hydroponics line, drain to waste, full strength, I water 3 time a day and it has worked great, I mean, like 3 times, I'm just checking to make sure I'm not getting lucky by not doing a thorough flush every couple weeks instead of just at the end,
Hey, your doing fine, coco pretty much flushes itself out everytime you feed, coco doesnt hold nutrients well like peat moss does so you need to feed everytime and the flush at the end is quick and easy. Thanks for watching :) G
@@PAHydroponics you rock, gary! Btw the filter fan combo works like a dream. Can't wait to see how it does when they start getting dank. Peace bro
Gary thanks man I'm surprised it took me this long to find you, but I love what u got to say. Maybe you could answer a question for me. I use Nectar and I have read in several placesthat a good flush with some heavy Yucca(saponins) will release and flush out the nuts that are building up. Ive seen it several places, but when I mwant to look it up I canty find much on it. But what I have seen on multiple occasions is people saying that Fox Farm Sledgehammer product which is full of saponins has burnt their plant at recommened dosage which like you just said varies greatly. But I just wanted to get your input on it seeing as you pretty muchKNOW YOUR SHIT. thanks for the response and keep the vids coming
Lol u did all vids the same afternoon not giving a fuck sitting and wearing the same, i love it. Heres what u need to know and thats it lol legend ✌😃
can we have a video about LED lighting / hights & what power lights covers what area xxxx :) !!!
Hey man, I would love to on that subject but it would be almost impossible, there are well over a few hundred LED companies out now and they are all different, most are not great and sell a ton of light's to new growers, because they are cheap. I love HLG 550 ( horticultural lighting group ) This light will do a 4x4 with no problem and will blow away a 600 watt HPS with only 490 watt's. If your in the US look them up. Need at least a foot above canopy because they can bleach the green chlorophyll out of the leaves if they are to close. We do sell them on our site with free shipping. And no I'm not sponsored by them :) Gary
@@PAHydroponics I'am in the UK gary - Just wish i could order from you !!
@@PAHydroponics hi gary.. hey meyerz from pa here. I bought a fan/filter off you few months back, great product! Quick question... i got a MarsHydro 2000 TSW in a 3x3 with dimmers set at the lowest setting. I wanted to ask you your thoughts on this light and where does it rank when compared to other top shelf brands..? I very much respect your opinion and appreciate your passion to help us new growers out. You rock buddy
What’s the different feeding guid for 4 plans and 20 plans RDWC?
I have seedlings that are getting ready for their first feed. I have 7 gallon pots, soil. How much nutrient solution per pot, volume wise do I need to feed with?
Hey there, good question! Every brand is different with the feeding and you should find the companies feeding schedule for whatever you are using and start off with a light feeding to ease them in, As for how much water you should water till it comes out the bottom so that you know the food is all the way thru the soil, with 7 gallon you probably wont need to water them much depending on your humidity and light, you want them to have a dry out period so that the roots will grow faster, so many factors play into how often you need to water/feed them like how fast your brand of soil dries out and plastic pot verses cloth pots. It is pretty much an impossible question to answer with so many different variables but I hope this gives you something to think about. Also if your soil already has nutrients in it then you may not need to feed them anything for a few weeks. Hope this somehow helps:) Peace. Gary
Gary, I am starting a hydro setup because I am sick of soil and the bugs. I am thinking about doing a single 5 gallon bucket with an air stone. I am kind of confused, how often would I change out my nutrient solution in my bucket. If I was recycling my water I would go for 7-10 days. Is it the same when the water is not recycling?
Yup you got it , same. G :)
You rock
Good info
With all my coco grows I have noticed the plants pretty much stop taking water in last weeks of flower. Which brings up the question of flushing ,if they are not taking the water and getting the nutrients from the leaves how are they being flushed?
They aren't. Flushing plants doesn't work.
Is flushing considered the same as a water change in a hydroponic system? Is flushing even needed if you change the water every week?
I'm new to growing cannabis and I'm in the process of educating myself.
On the subject of flushing it seems that the prevailing wisdom is to flush your plants. While the reasoning behind this process makes sense, I'm wondering if anyone has done any kind of "blind testing" to see if it is worth the effort?
I mean, something simple, like growing two identical plants in the same conditions while flushing one and not the other then comparing the results between the two. Maybe giving friends a sample of each and let them try them out without knowing which buds were flushed and which were not.
I'll probably try this out myself for my up-coming first grow but it would be nice to know if anyone else has tried it.
Thanks for posting.
its 100% worth the effort my last grow i had to cut them down on a short flush and they were pretty much unsmokable. this grow i did a 11 day flush and the bud is smooth as can be and tastes so much better than the last stuff
@@codyknlj1930 Thanks for the reply but I'm more interested to hear from people that have conducted "blind" tests: That is, have independent testers try both flushed and unflushed products without knowing which one they are trying.
I mean I feel by looking at your plant feeling it and just being around it you can pretty much tell what it needs If it's getting too much nutrients you cut back if there's too much nitrogen you cut something out that has too much nitrogen it's not that hard I don't think in my personal honest opinion I know every plant is different and requires different needs it's honestly just figuring out what works for you and your schedule and your garden usually by looking at plants you can tell those don't look too good or those look great keep doing what I'm doing if they don't look good cut something out that you think is messing it up it's all trial and error
Great info 👍
Thanks, that was the hardest one so far, a lot to try to say but glad you liked it. Gary
Wait a 200W LED puts out less light than a 1000W HPS? What is that based on ?
I'm starting out growing auto flowers outside, using 5 gallon self watering (feeding) buckets. I'm planning to grow in coco, so would that be considered hydroponics, or soil when you consider flushing? Thanks.
You da man bro
I think I am more confused at what to use, how much and how long
I mean if you use the proper mount of nutrients from the beginning all that flushing isn’t necessary
You are correct in that it really depends on the method you are using and your routine. Flushing may or may not be an issue you have to face.
happy 4/20
Would you like to open a store in Columbia Mo as well?
Hay neighbor
the first 4 minutes i thought you were Nicolas Cage in disguise lol
How long to flush in dwc? Before the phone rang you were saying why not to starve it during flower. Why and even if its the last couple days?
nice videos.
Great video.
Can you recommend a certiefied hydroponic course online for starters ?
Ron,
Check out Harley from NPK INDS.
HE'S THE MAN......
I think these charts need to be more precise on PPM levels. That's why people kill plants. And over watering.
I agree and over watering is a problem people dont understand. Thanks for watching! Gary
Um got a quick question um 😐 what do you like hid are led? Um I really like um your channel and um thanks
Bless
Coming up on harvest for Rdwc, would you recommend flushing with pure water (RO) no ph additives or anything?
That's what I'd do cause you don't want it taking any more nutes up any way so wouldn't matter what the ph is I think us be safe to do that brother
I agree with you and I started slowly increasing nutrients up until the last week of Veg and the tips started burning, and I was only at 1/2 strength Advanced nutrients 3part system, plus cal mag and bloom nutrients.
Anyone ever used canna coco nutes
I want to switch digital to ceramic lighting what is the best cmh full cycle ceramic lighting to purchase. I have only 2.5- 1.6 ft between top canopy and the bottom light. Would you stay with existing lights. Of do you have good suggestions to what is good one
Philips Master Color 315 watt CMH is a great bulb from start to finish, the 315"s run pretty cool and the plants like them :)
@@PAHydroponics thank you my brother but how many 30ft ×10ft×7'.2"in. height is my flower space, I'm using a mixture of 7--1000w old used SHIT!!!! EQUIPMENT. SHOULD I USE 7 OR CAN I USE 5.
In that space.
My light is rated for 1000 wats but is only pulling 200 max out of the wall. Most people who are indoor growers probably are, so I should dial it down from what you are saying. Or is my 1000 wat light good enough for the required nutrients schedule I run
I would dial it down for your light, then as they get bigger you can increase a bit and see how the plants respond, you will get used to seeing your plants and will be able to tell when they are hungry after awhile. G
Thanks
Sounds like a very questionable led my friend, a good led runs at about 50‰ minimum of the rated led power I. E your 1000w led should be running at 500w if it was a decent grow light.
The 1000 or 2000 doesn't usually mean wattage - it's mostly part of the product name, beyond that it's just a marketing ploy. 200 watts should be good for a 2X2' flowering area, but not much more...
Subbed.
Seems like no matter how much I flush my soil PH keeps getting really low, put in 6.3 and 5.0 comes out
That could actually be a sign of underfeeding your plants, can you check your runoff water for PPM? See if it is low, you can also start watering and feeding at 7.0 and that will help balance out the soil over time. Just my 2 cents. Have a good one. Gary
Cosmos Bob I grow in coco as well and I always put my nutrients in at 5.8 to 6.0 and I feed every day. Seen a lot of posts about feed feed water and as far as I’m concerned if you’re watering to runoff there is no reason for flush until the last week or two
I never checked ph or ec using coco and diluted urine I don't see how people get problems using all the professional stuff, it just seems like a waste of time and money with little benefit.
@@fsu3784 exactly.
Some nutrients actually lower PH id add your nutrients than PH the water
Hi, what du you mean by flushing the 5 first gallon with “flushing agent” never heard about it! Thank you for all the advice you give us in every video!
Look up sledge hammer by Bush doctor.
You mean p.h. level?

@5:49, I tried that, but he cursed me out in Spanish
I live in California and we hella know what’s up.
If it’s yellow let it mellow but if it’s brown flush it down.
could you explain that?
Toilet joke...
We have a water shortage here so we never flush unless it’s a deuce

@@misnomerthecarolina Does California not have the water cycle?
I cousin house is on some water tank setup so he do like to use the water to much when round there he would go crackers if you pissed in the wc you have to go outside even 3 in the dam morning hes always moaning if your a girl you get no exceptions only time you use the toilet is for a crap in his den and one flush using the second lever that lever uses half the water per flush haha

Would an hlg 600 watt light be strong enough to run my plants at full nutrient strength? I have learned more from your video than anywhere else makes hydroponics less scary thanks also how many dwc 5 gallon buckets can fit in a 4x4 with scrog? I was going to fit 4 plants in 5 or 7 gallon fabic pots for soil if it helps
Hello, your light is awesome, in our test it was about the yield of 850 watts against a hortilux 1000 watt so you should be able to go full speed! As for DWC in a 4x4 with scrog just make sure you have a way to change out the water because with scrog is gonna be hard to change reservoirs if they are not hooked together, you could cram up to 9 probably but 4 with a good grooming to fill scrog would be just fine in my opinion as for the cloth pots you could get 9 no problem and could cram up to 16 5 gallons if you wanted but really wouldn't want that it would be a jungle. Have fun with that.Gary
@@PAHydroponics in your opinion would two 260 watt 288s spread out be better than a hlg 600?
Hey, yeah I would go with 2 as the winner on that, you will get cross penetration and maybe get your lights a little closer, it's simpler with less wires for the big one tho, also having 2 lights if 1 goes out then you still have a light to get you by, just my thoughts. Have a good day! Gary
@@intinpara7819 I had a personal friend do a test against a 1000 HPS Hortilux and there is no video because of where we are at :) Same stains , Harvest was down 15% but HLG version 1 was only using 510 watt while horilux was pulling 1060 watts, so that is great in my opinion. I am not paid by any company. My personal favorite light is the ceramic 315's !!!!! The plants love them but they only cover 3x3 so.....yeah. Gary
@@intinpara7819 Hey , price is to much for many! If you have a 600 hps that is in a air ooled reflector you wouldn't see much of a difference in temp's, the 550 does get pretty hot but not as hot as a 600 hps in open reflector would probably be 5 degrees less or maybe 10 depending... Tried to help :( Gary
So my tap water is a ph of 8.0 with a ppm of 220 I'm growing in coco I'm using half tap water with half distilled set out over night to help with the chemicals should i add cal mag also would this change up my feeding schedule
Yes
Total clickbait title. This is literally common knowledge. I’ve been growing for 25 years and you didn’t say anything a beginner wouldn’t know 🤦♂️
Thanks for the video! Im new to hydroponic gardening and have a question about adjusting the recommended feeding schedules based on your growing situation. I have a four bucket system with a reservoir in a 3 ft by 5 ft by 8 ft grow room. My light is a 315 W CMH CDM grow light with 3100K bulb. Im going to use the General Hydroponics nutrient system. Any tips on whether I should adjust their recommendations? Thanks so much!
Hello, I would cut it down 25% on the 315, I LOVE 315's ! So do the plants! After you get used to growing you will be able to look and see if the plants are hungry for more so stick with it! GH is pretty solid and you may be able to bump it up during flowering and be fine. Hope this helps! Gary
@@PAHydroponics Thanks so much!
i just posted my method in the regular comments, before reading your question.. maybe this helps figuring out what suits your setup as well (copy/paste, so the "you" was to Gary):
In the past i tried to follow the guidelines, but as you say, there are so many factors to consider, so what i'm doing with my hydroponics system in regards to feeding is simply measure the EC in the reservoir.

That's to me the only real way to figure out what suits your specific setup, as long as you measure daily and still drain the reservoir every week to 10 days or so.

Then i check how much this is in total, so i know for future reference how much I approximately need (note, i have a small setup, so i don't mix it in the reservoir directly, but move it over, when it's completely done).
having said that, after the initial mix in a separate reservoir you should know the approximate amount of nutrients already anyway, so you can just multiply that for the amount of your reservoir to mix it in there directly.. i would just err on the low side when mixing directly in the reservoir, than noticing you added too many nutrients and have no more space to add water to dilute it down anymore, and maybe have to drain some..
Kinda looks like a deep fake of Nicolas Cage :D
It's mostly the mouth movement that resembles him lol.
I will take that as a compliment I think ? LOL thanks I guess
