Thanks! The magic of the system imo is the float and the bottom gutter. I am using 5 gallon HD buckets and 10gallon root pouches (I plant 2 in the root pouches.)
I put a cup of 10-10-10 as a ring at the top at the beginning of the season. I supplement a little bit with calcium nitrate to battle BER when they are flowering heavily.
Everything is ripening now so I expect there to be another bout of flowering where I will supplement with Masterblend fertilizer (and Epsom salt + Calcium Nitrate) to take it through to November I expect.
One of these seasons, I want to try amending using natural products like Alfafa pellets, oyster shells etc like someone else on here ( I think Fonseca) does...
But right now for busy me, this gives me great results for the amount of time/effort I can allot to it...
I'll try and take some pics this weekend to update that thread...
