Looking good there bud

Funny thing is that is some people's idea for plant food.....quite tempted to try aquaponics outside on some non-420 stuff the kid can get involved in.

I hear you on the buffering too.....it must add to the EC which I guess is a bit like growing in dirtier water. But then I've seen guys growing in tap water that starts at 0.7 before they even add nutes so maybe it's not that big a deal, particulalry if you factor in how much pH down adds over the course of a week. I'm open minded to buffered nutes as they do sound like less work.

hey thanx ! thats for my pet guppy's lol , whatever is init produces loads of small snails in fishtank tank , pain in the ide say its abit similar like the plantfood scenario !,
that brand seems keeps the water in tank cleaner for longer periods !
the mineral salts that make up main feed nutrients I could do with looking into soon ! I know some of the minerals are only added in very small amounts compared to others ! ive been thinking ! assuming the rates are 5-3-7 to 1000ml of water would work : 50ml nitrogen ( 5% of the nutrient content ! ) 30ml phosphorus ( 3% ) and 70ml potassium ( 7% ) to get the 5-3-7 ratio in a 1 litre bottle , and maybe again with the aminos ect you may need to source to correct most plant available forms of them ingredients also ! looks like a future plan !

agreed aquaponics looks interesting , full on organics ! , I bet the smoke is wonderfull an as natural as can be an abit koi maybe lol !
ive just put in soaking a big bang auto and jackpot auto seed today , hoping for some breakthroughs !
cheers

the California kush gaining some green colour an starting to take root properly in the flow table ( they can look over watered for a time till they get used to the system ) the under yellowing of a few of the lower leaves im not worried about .

the rest of the area , waiting for the shortstuff purple amnesia.s to finish up far right to gain some space

I add 5ml of pond starter nitrifying bacteria the first couple of weeks to trays , as nft is the same kind of gravity fed system as a pond filter is with inner media
