actually, does anyone know the exacts NPK ratio of maxibloom?

Heath Robinson uses Ionic Base nutes which equal 5-2-7 or something of that nature. How does maxibloom compare? aM I better off just buying Ionic, or Canna coco A+B?


or jacks hydro formula with calnit? FUCK!!! haha

Evilme:

I meant what it actually works out to in solution. ie;

n 128 ppm
p 54ppm
k 156 ppm
c 111 ppm

etc.. I worry what if Maxibloom giving the plant slightly excess P, not enough n or k, where the plants still grow beautifully, but could be much improved with the perfect ratio of nutes?!

You mm only plants are awesome, was jw. btw does anyone know the best nutrient ratio for cannabis??

Goin' with Mb,kb, + drip-clean for now. maybe sm-90 as DHF suggests..

I hope Everyone by now understands the lucas formula and variants. Maxibloom is close, while FNB is lucas w humics. I cant wait to post up my Alien dawg, ECSD, albert walker, apothecary chem in a 3kw room with FNB and some monopotassium phosphate next week rounding 3rd base before an extensive flush until.the plant has metabolized all of Its stored salts. Molasses works great for Its enzymatic properties. As well as aiding in trichrome, terpine & flavenoids. That stuff , humics for pH down, and maybe a calmg supplement with Mpk (approx. 0-50-30 in the first Good clustering and in the second to last week of food. It works in Everything. NFT is my game, And when res temps are cool enough, the only organics i need are humus, and molasses. Sorry for the rant. Good night.
 
Morning Brethern,
First time grower using Kiss, air pots & a Bontanicaire product called 'ReadyGro' (coco + perlite + nutes)
Is there a cleaner way to rinse the coco prior to planting? I was reaching down into the pot & mixing by hand as I rinsed & made a total mess of the backyard.
Fortunately I decided to do this in the backyard or my wife would have been up on murder charges.
Thanks & Cheers,
BTW keep the pretty pictures comming. Nice to see what people are doing using kiss.

Your Coco is "ready to grow" Bruce no need to wash out salts like inferior brands of coco. Its good to go right out of the bag. Mix up some maxibloom at 5.6-6.0 and water and your good.

i buy compressed coco and after i rehydrate it i put it in a 5 gal bucket with holes drilled in the bottom and i use the water hose to wash until the run off is clear.

i then use another bucket to press down on the coco and squeeze out excess water. i do this a few times then run 5 gal H2O + 5tspFloraKleen thru, press excess water out then its ready to be pre charged with nutes before using.

i would rather spend less and rehydrate my coco, no need to pay for water.

Yes I use MOAB and Gravity (1/2 strength) and a bit of Cal-Mag and Drip - Clean (I grow in CoCo).

good luck!

For that run, Maxibloom and powder KB for the last 4 days before final flush.

so i have been running the maxibloom only and tap water from mid veg to now which is the beginning of week 6 in flower of a supposed 7-8 week strain (ak 48). at week 3-4 of flower they starting looking a little under fed so i went up to 7 teaspoons per 5 gallons and the plants started looking better. but when i checked the runoff ec yesterday with my hanna meter (.5 conversion) it was blinking 2000ppm because it was so high. my question is should i lower my fert levels with the koolbloom for a couple more feeds and then start my flush or should i just start giving them plain tap water now until harvest which could possible be 2-3 more weeks. my tap water is at 350ppm and with 7 teaspoons of maxibloom that was giving me 1350 total ppm and i'm just now starting to get a very little leaf tip burn. oh and i'm in 5gal pots of straight canna coco, thanks.

i forgot to mention i hand water with at least 15-20% runoff and my runoff ph is 5.8

the leaf yr holdind to me looks to be and this is a guess due to camera lighting or lack of it a nitrogen or potassium or magnesium deficientcy but let more experienced growers weight in here to help you out, also the way their drooping down they also could be over watered - many variations...

smailer,
not sure this is the best place to put your sick plants question but from what i your room looks hot as shit (temps i mean)

also looks like you are seriously in need of both cal/mag...and i suspect more maxibloom....and prolly some different genetics. those a bagseed run?
anyhoo, if you post this somewhere more appropriate (along with that big ol form they wantcha to fill out) you will get lots of help.

*dude* , I stated theirs many reasons his plants could be sick and I was just trying to help, we all may have different opinions on what the cause can be. If we all had our plants dialed in we wouldn't ever need sites like this for help or read and see some of the top growers in the world right here, learning and following their grow threads vato...
