Hey guys, been growing for almost exactly a year now and have taken some huge strides just from reading all the posts here on icmag as well as other forums and I thank you all for your opinions/suggestions. Little background on my grow... Been using coco from the start and run a perpetual grow(10 in veg,10 on day 1 flower,10 on day 29 flower every four weeks rotating)
Setup as of now is 2 T-5s for veg, 6 1K lights in flower, mini split AC, closed room.
This is where I want some feedback...for the past year Ive handwatered(drain to waste) with the following nute schedule...keep in mind $$$ wasnt a limiting factor in most decisions.
Veg nutes per gallon-
week 1
half strength week 2-4 rates
week 2-4
6 ml GH micro
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
1 ml roots XL
1 ml DM silica
5 ml nutra+ black humic acid
Bloom nutes per gallon
week 1
6 ml GH micro
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
4 ml bloom ultra
week 2
6 ml GH micro
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
5 ml big swell
week 3
6 ml GH micro
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
10 ml big swell
5 ml crystal burst
week 4
6 ml GH micro
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
15 ml big swell
5 ml crystal burst
week 5
9 ml GH bloom
5 ml Calmag
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
4 ml bloom pk boost
10 ml bloom ooze
5 ml crystal burst
week 6 & 7
9 ml GH bloom
2 ml DM silica
5 ml nutri+ black humic acid
2 ml nutir+ gold fulvic acid
4 ml bloom final
10 ml bloom ooze
5 ml crystal burst
And thats what Ive came up with over the past year...and have yielded some incredible bud. My new changes include an automatic blumat watering system and simlifying my nutes in order to reduce costs as well as using ones compatible with the blumat system. My calculations for these mixes will be in ppm/EC due to it being powder form.
New plan..
veg nutes
week 1 500 ppm
veg + bloom powder
1 ml/g drip clean
week 2-4 700 ppm
veg + bloom powder
1 ml/g drip clean
bloom nutes
week 1-3 1000 ppm
veg + bloom powder
1 ml/g drip clean
week 4-6 700 ppm
veg + bloom powder
1 ml/g drip clean
week 7 slowly add water to drop ppms
week 8 straight water
So basically I went from spending $500+ a month on nutes that I handwatered to a cheap one part powder that will be watered automatically with blumats.
Would love some feedback as well as opinions as to what else I might want to add to my new one part powder that wont clog the blumats such as boosters/finishers.
Thanks!
P.S. can also keep everyone updated on how drastically these changes effect my final product
