There should be manufacturer directions. I would follow those. There may also be a website with feeding schedules.

whodi · 12-19-2009, 07:11 AM

no, i know what schedules i want and need... i jsut need to know what order i mix them in my reservoir.

Hey Whodi

I'm not really sure how it works for GH. But for H & G I read that you mix the A & B and then PH. Afterwards I add all the other additives depending on what week of flowering or veg I'm in. I resist the urge to ph after adding the additives, but so far it seems to have worked fine.

So I would recommend the same. Add the Micro and Bloom, PH if necessary and then add all the additives.

Just my 2 Cents.

This is an important and often overlooked issue.

ya thats what i was thinking but wasn't sure with the silica blast and SM-90.. thought i read somewhere that it's best to add silica before anything... dunno if thats misinformation.

Its true. You're supposed to mix in silica before anything.
Then base nutrients by manufacturers directions
Then everything else by directions supplements/additives
Then calmag
Here is your last accurate ppm reading
Then any organic stuff you might be adding

Then ph

if you use GH

ALWAYS PUT MICRO IN FIRST

And to further add to the confusion... you're supposed to add cal/mag to your water first, then go from their. I don't use anything but GH micro and GH bloom but you always mix the micro first. Don't know about any of those other additives.

nice link, Gs

i'm thinking:

calmag+, silica, micro, bloom, kool bloom, sm-90, cannazym

However, once i mix micro, bloom, kool bloom.. that lowers my pH a good bit, so if i add silica last, it might raise my pH to normal levels since it's a higher pH additive. And if it doesn't well it says in the link Gs skull added, that you should be fine as long as you adjsut the pH quickly after adding it.

I've been using micro and bloom only for a while but I'd like to start adding more additives such as these.
