So, very simply:

If using FloraNova Bloom instead of the 3-part, use it at a rate of 8mL/gallon, yes?

I've been wondering the same thing... I use floranova @ 4-6ml per gallon supplement with cal mag, maybe i should just run more floranova and less calmag to achieve the same results?

Any thoughts/

Thats what they say...

Alright, and the target pH is 5.6 in R/O water with this formula correct?

[gonejah17]

So with Rez's formula, u change the res every two weeks??

What u guys say about the Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur then?

It has some really strange levels and still works as a charm into week 4 of flowering... (I also mix my super soft water from EC 0,0 with a background of SensiCalMgMix and Mother Earth Super Tea -EWC/Compost/kelp/shrimpmeal tea- so I start off at EC 0,2 (I'll back this off to EC 0,1 mid-bloom and end it in the last 2weeks of bloom)

They claim these nutrients are of superior grade and as they are chelated in amino acids, proteins and alcohols will be better absorbed by the roots. I don't know actually if they will be worth the extra cash, or how it will perform, but they are good this far and very stable (not messing my pH) and stay spot on for days/a week in the reservoir (run-to-waste).

-They sadly haven't listed all elements in percentage, but I guess if they follow regular rules they list ingredients in an order where the dominant elements are listed on top and then further down the list the contents are decreasing in value/volume.

Here's the pH-calculators values @ 4.3ml per US gallon (about 1ml/L) of each A + B (EC:1.0-1.1, but bottle say it should be EC 0,8 at 1ml/l dilution) :

N: 6.7% - 83ppm
P: 5.1% - 28ppm
K: 10.0% - 103ppm
------------------------
Mg:1.0% - 12ppm
S: x % - x ppm
Ca: 1.7% - 21ppm
------------------------
Mo: 0.0008% - 0.01ppm


These are all they list in numbers, but it is all necessary elements in the mix and all trace elements are in chelated form. (the most important ones in several chelates too.)

As I mentioned all is good so far. It is recommended using this product from week 2-3 of bloom and so I've done.
-It's just that the ridiculously low P and high K, along with them Mg and Ca being a it off for a coco grow. (I try it in pure coco coir where a good all over clone grow and blooming range of macros is N5-P5-K5 (Mg1-S1-Ca2), but also for control I have it applied to a Petrol-cutting in a soil/soil-less mix))

I'm really tempted to sprinkle some pure P and Mg Indonesian bat-guano onto one of te coir plants to see if it has something to say.

I fiddled a bit with 1ml/l of each SensicalMgMix, Connoisseur A + B and PK-13/14.

It all came out a bit more balanced for hydro/soil(less) and had about these numbers:

N 109
P 99
K 249
Mg 40
Ca 80

A reduction of trace elements and nitro will be easy as the SensiCal has N2-P0-K0 +(Mg1,5-Ca4.6-S???)

I still find this K a little high, and I don't know how pure P from Canna or something like Guano or PK-boosters will work with the Connoiseur...

Any comments are appreciated!

ok, ive read the entire thread MULTIPLE times, and im still confused about the veg formula.
I am going to run 2 dwc bubbler rubbermaid tubs 10 gal each. I plan to use the fn bloom at 8ml a gallon. Is this for the entire grow? Or do i use 8ml fn grow for veg, then switch to bloom for bloom?

Any help is very much appreciated, this formula has already started me out feeling confident to give hydro a try, Lucas I appreciate all the hard work that you have shared with the community.

You use the same formula all the way through except possibly half strength the first time that you water freshly rooted clones or freshly planted seedlings. Think about this plant in nature... it gets the same nutrients schedule though its whole life cycle. It's not like a fruit or anything. Think about it. It makes perfect sense.

[ReeferDan]

cool sounds good!!! one less nute to buy!

Now i gotta start building my 2 dwc tubs today

[00420]

here's what i use
week 1 = 4ml nova bloom + 1.5g bud blood = 61n 121p 171k 31mg 61ca
week 2 = 4.5ml nova bloom + 4.5 big bud 69n 69p 139k 34mg 46s 69ca
week 3-5 6.5ml nova bloom + 6.5ml big bud = 100n 100p 201k 50mg 100ca
week 6 = 6ml nova bloom + 6ml big bud 92n 92p 186k 62mg 46s 92ca
week 7 = 5 ml nova bloom + 5ml overdrive = 92n 99p 161k 52mg 77ca
week 8 = flush

{edit}
if you use bigbud powder witch i all ways do it's 10X LESS so 6.5ml = .66gram's /1gal
some strains need more/less but this is a basic run down
