Go with blumats and 6/9 and a pinch. You can't mess up the nutes and you can't over water them or underwater them. Dump your nutes in a res once a week and sit back and watch them grow.:tiphat:

6/9 would be quite strong with a constant blumat feed.
You would probably want to dilute the 6/9 down a bit

I hooked blumats up a 10 days ago. Watching them work I say you could easily go full strength. They only drip just enough, I mean like every 3-4 days. Coco is all dry on top before they even drip. Crazy to watch but the plants like it. I'm feeding them full strength 7g/gal MB. You can't get them to drip to waste. The root zone controls how much moisture is delivered and that's all they get. I bumped the drip clean up to 1ml/gal so salts don't build up. It sure is nice just looking in there once a day and not doing anything:biggrin: I'll flip them to 12/12 and turn the 1000w on them Wednesday.

Ive used blumats before...
No way you are going to want to go much above 1.0ec when they start sucking down juice all day.
7g of maxi is like 1.8ec.

Update on the protekt + sm90..
I would have to agree on the ph perfect aspect of adding those supplements. I however was using full strength 6/9 and was ending up with 5.9-6.0pH.
I hated using the ph up before because it was so concentrated I had to use a 1ml dropper to slowly bump the ph up. Thanks for the suggestions again!

You could always put th ph +/- drops in a measuring glass and dilute them.
I actually prefer to set my ph at 5.5, but anywhere up to 6 is kosher

Diluting the ph sounds like a good idea. I just hope I don't really have to go back to it. Maybe when the micro and protekt are dropped at the end of flower? On a side note, do u run the sm til flush or drop it with micro?

I drop all additives with the micro, though Im leaving the micro a bit longer than h3ad or rez now and Im thinking about leaving silica until the last week of plain water/tap.

Based on my experience so far I am onboard with this. Everything is so good with them in there, it's hard to pull them. I think I might pull the sm90 a week before that.

1.9ec actually for me. I understand the lower feed but is 4g/gal of MB going to keep my cal/mag levels high enough to prevent lockouts?

1.2 is what usually works best for me.
Sorry, I dont know anything about euro 6/9...
You might want to check with the h3ad thread.
I would check the KISS or Blumat thread to see what they run MB at.
Doesnt seem like anyone ever ran blumats over 1.2 or so.
Even with the drip clean you can end up with massive buildups when youre constantly providing juice to them

Yup, I diluted the rez down to 1.3. I saw another guys posts who ran the MB/blumats and he says keep it between 1.0-1.2. I'll take it down in that range as I add to the rez.:tiphat:
