Hey guys, i know that Pure Blend Pro does register on EC/PPM meters. Im not sure how accurate, or akin to chemical fertilizer EC/PPM those reads are. However, that is not necessarily what i am wondering for this thread.
When I follow the mixing instructions on the PBP feed chart, or hit my elemental ppm numbers my mix typically hovers between 2.2-2.4 EC. I have a feeling that might be too strong.
Should i follow the typical EC strength guidelines of chemical fertilizers for specific stage of growth with the PBP line?
For example EC recommendations during various stages:
0.8-1.0 EC for extended seedling/early veg growth
1.0-1.4 EC for veg growth
1.4-1.6 EC during flower
So i would follow the Botanicare feeding instructions and then dilute the full strength mix to desired EC levels for the given stage.
I have also found that even when using a Cal/Mag product (in my case cali-magic by GH) I require a supplemental dose of epsom salt of about 1/8-1/4 tsp gallon (am thinking of possibly adding Botanicare Sweet to my lineup in the future).
Any help/input/personal feeding schedules would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
