I need alittle help on mixung the right ratio of nutes to acheive an ec of .8
Im using ro water that is .005 ppm, along with GH flora series nutes (all 3 bottles), Liquid kool bloom and cal-mag plus.
I know i need to add cal+mag because theirs nothing in the water but it raises the ppm way high and my ec is off the scale.
Oh, this is for the flowering phase of my plants. Thanks :joint:

Always mix micro first...start off slow...then add grow and them bloom...give a small dose of each and check your ec levels if its too low add a very small amount of each again...I must say to mix the micro thoroughly before the grow then mix again then the bloom...when your close add you supplements to you desired ppm...then check PH...
hope this helps
take care
stay safe

Try 3/4 strength 15ml bloom, 10 ml micro, 5 ml grow per gallon of water. So you would use 11.25 ml bloom, etc... This gives you about 119 ppm nitrogen. (Note: ppms of individual elements like n are totally different from a ppm meter) Just enough n to keep leaves from prematurely falling off. I don't think you will need cal mag plus. It also has the disadvantage of adding more n you don't want in flower. You will end up with 50 ppm magnesium anyway with just the 3 part and this should be enough.

GH 3 part bloom formula
GH 5grow, 10micro, 15bloom
n 159
p 92
k 219
mg 66
