HELP! This is the first time for hydroponics. I'd like some advice.

I want to start hydroponics for the first time.

But I have some questions.

I should like to have the benefit of your advice.

Can I use auto-flowering hydroponics?

I'd like to know the ratio of hydroponics.

ex) N : P : K

I'd like to know the percentage of NPK concentration.

The article says 2:1:6 should be right?

Please help me : (
 
It is a little more then an npk number . Your going to wanna get a ppm/ec meter and a ph meter first . Then pick a good hydroponic nutrient . You will mix those nutes in the ratio that the bottle lets you too . I like general hydroponics and advanced nutrients . They are both fairly expensive and will do the job . Once you nute of choice is mixed to the ratio desired then dilute it with clean water to the diaries parts per millions (ppm) for the size of your plant. Here is a copy of my feedin Regimen for a mature plant in veg . I also added some other examples of feeding charts I had on my phone . Most of the manufacturers chats Recommend nutrient doses with very high ppm’s and this is not gonna be good for your cannabis plant . I like to keep my ppm in veg under 600 and my ppm I’m flower under 1000 . Using the ratios on the bottle and then using clean water to dilute to the desired ppm for my plants stage of life .

@DankwingDuck
Thank you for your reply.
But the article says the N,P,K ratio is important.
Is it all I have to do with calculating ppm for any nutrients?
 
If you use the nutes according to the ratio on the bottle Nd adjust to the correct ppm the npk should be where it needs to be
 
Do you know what nutes you intend to use or have you not picked one yet . I recommend GH flora trio for any first timer . It’s cheat and easy to use .
 
that article is just explaining that you need a good quality nutrient that has ratio is consistent with the needs of your plant . So the first step would be to find which nutrient you can get in your country
 
Can I ask what country you live in that may better help me assist you in finding something that will work for your plans
 
If you are unable to acquire a quality salt based hydroponic nutrients in your country then unfortunately you may not be able to do hydroponics
 
@DankwingDuck
The country where I live is South Korea.
Amazon says the product cannot be shipped to South Korea.
Is it okay to buy products in our city and measure the NPK ratio?
 
Yes that should be fine. I don’t know the labeling standards in your country but the NPK rating should be on the bottle or on the back of the bottle in the ingredients list
 
@DankwingDuck
Thank you very much for your answer.
You can use tomato on the nutritional base, right?
When the flowers begin to bloom, do I just stop giving you nitrogen nutrients?
I have the last question.
When they grow in a pot, they told me not to water it about two weeks ago.
What should I do with hydroponics?
 
If you find a good nute for tomatos you should be just fine. You will need the cut the N in flower for sure . It’s going to have to be a little trial and error tho . Just don’t use anything that is miracle grow .
 
@DankwingDuck
Thanks for your help.
Should light be on 24 hours a day?
I have another question.
