PBPBloom @ 15ml/gal plus 5ml/gal Cal Mag

I'm not sure of all the nutrient lines but is this the Botanicare line of nutrients?

So instead of using GH at 0-8-16 - for veg and bloom

I can use the botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom & Cal Mag at the following ratio? for both veg and bloom

15Ml Bloom and 5ml Cal Mag.

I am using DNF series of products and I am still trying to answer one question.

USING only RO WATER with an EC of 0 Do I need to add anything else to my water? Is there everything my plant needs in the DNF A & B (grow or bloom)

According to DNF all I have to do is ADD 300 from my current EC value to get into their "suggested stage EC values" ... because theirs state an Assumed Tap Water Value of 300 EC. According to them everything the plant requires is in the product.

I would add tap water, as R.O has little to no PH buffering ability.

I am planning my first hydro grow and wanted to see what you all thought of my plan. The method will be DWC, the substrate Canna Coco, and the Canna line of nutes. Upon reading this whole thread, I see that I should supplement my Canna nutes with epson for MG boost. Should I use the full strength mixture of nutes or dilute? What size net pot should I use with the coco substrate given a five gallon bucket rez and a desired plant height of 2 feet? By the way, my genetics will be Top44 and Mazar. The space will be a grow tent that is 16"x16'x52"tall. Am I limited to one mature plant in this space. Since I want to LST, I assumed that I should just grow one plant to maturity. I thank you all in advance for you help.

I'm thinking I should have bought a bunch of floranova bloom instead of GH 3 part lol! I read the ingredients on the three and it looks like the grow has nothing the other two don't have. Maybe I'll grow basil with it lol.

I'm into week 1 of flower with ebb and flo set up. I'm using the GH 3 part system. Next go around I will use the Nova instead. It seems to me cheaper while getting all the essential nutes. Am i wrong?

Also, I use tap. I'm on a well. the water comes out at about 0-200ppm, but the ph is very high akaline levels! the ph is between 7.8-8.2!

Is it the opinion of everyone that I bring the ph down to 5.5-5.7 then add nutes or bring it down to about 5.0 then let the nutes bring the ph levels up on their own?
thats the way I have been do so since my 3rd week of veg.

I was doing the ph down after I had added nutes! DUH. But hey, I am a noob at this.

And my hats off to everyone who contibutes to these grow threads!

Its been a wealth of information for me!

I used to add my PH down after I added nutes. Seems to me that you would want to add nutes before Ph down. When I add my nutes to my res it drops the ph just from the addition of nutes.

I thought the lucas formula was just for flowering. I guess I dont even need the GH Flora green stuff then eh. And the 8ml micro 16ml bloom is just for ebb and flow, what about hand watered coco/perlite? What sucks is that Im runnin 6 different strains and they all have different needs. Some of them look great and 2 of my hashberry phenos are yellowing only 5 weeks into flowering.

hi all, I haven't posted in sometime, but im (of course) confused about this. As i have tried to mix in 8ml per gal of fnb and i also end up with a high tds of 1500 @.5 conversion(before supplementing my ro(30-40ppm) with a calmg product). i didn't measure ph because i thought surely i goofed the info or something, anyways, I would like to know if these numbers are close to what i should be getting? If so, do i give this strength of solution to my cuts i just translplanted 2days ago into e&f? And 1 last question would i be better off using this in veg aswell, or using the fng along the labels guidelines which i usually keep the tds around 1000 after supplementing with a calmg product.
