    I don't fool with hydro nutes in my hempys. I use an off the shelf fertilizer made by Scotts called Osmocote Plus mixed in with my perlite medium. It's one application at the beginning of the grow and nothing but watering afterwards.

    I'll never go back to mixing nutes and checking pH as long as I've got Osmocote to rely on.

    for tips for hydro nutes use the guide from the makers and start at half what they recommend and work from there, ec 1.1/1.6 range anything in between is fine
    bubble you water (or at the least let it stand) for 24 hours this is important as the ph wont be stable if you dont , (it releases the co2 from it and the ph will be stable then and its ment to let the clorine release from it as well

    mix you nutes in a bucket with the water in it first or in what ever amount you will need for one watering ph to 6.2 , and your away

    i use ionic hydro, start at half recommended dose and work up till they cannot take any more,ionic is one part so no mixing etc, dont seem to have any ph problems although i would never know as i dont have a ph meter, perhaps a recipe for disaster?
