None of those are close enough to the Mel Frank Elemental Value goals.


So I decided to see what it would look like if we mixed the Ripe with the Blooms...


/w hydro bloom - 10 ripe to 15 bloom

N 121

P 106

K 290

Mg 38

S 50

C 129



/w coco bloom - 10 ripe to 15 bloom


N 121

P 106

K 215

Mg 38

S 50

C 152




/w hydro bloom - 15 Ripe to 10 hydro bloom

N 107

P 127

K 278

Mg 38

S 58

C 118



/w coco bloom - 15 ripe to 10 coco bloom

N 107

P 127

K 228

Mg 38

S 58

C 133




I think I like the last one the best.

15 ml ripe to 10 ml coco bloom per gallon of water


The Mg is a bit lower then lucas formula but its more then canna and should not cause deficiencies. On the Plus side its lower in N then lucas and has more P and K.

I'm having issues with Ph's spreadsheet... Do you always need the exact compounds listed in everything? On some bottles it just gives the basic npk weights and so forth. Also, for anyone who has had success getting the same #'s my man Lucas got, do you always check the box "use weights.."? Sorry I'm slow and a nute profile fish. Thanks n keep it green!

Thanks

You need more ppm with your GH in flower try using sweet from botanicare @10 ml a gallon don't introduce canna tell about 2 weeks into flower then you can use cal-mag insted of epsom

That's all good...but you can't go off the label. They are guaranteed minimums, and they're rounded off to the nearest integer. This can be a 5-25% error in your ppm. yvw

Great read. Read the first post several times to try to understand. What I am curious is how you come up with the numbers, what is the equation for the
"Here is PureBlendPro Bloom @ 15ml/gal
129
45
214
26"

I don't actually know, but until someone who does comes along and either confirms or corrects me I'd say its the total PPM divided into the percentages of N, P, K, Mg. But I'm just spit balling......
