I get 1.5 EC with tap water in 5 gallon batches. I will be switching to RO soon.

i run w/ RO water, but i dont remember off the top of my head.
i also mix in 5gal batches and im about to mix some up here in a bit
ill get back w/ a solid answer after while

Do you guys use the same ec from rooted clone to flush? Growing in coco with the whole canna line, and the price I pay for nutes for 30+ lights is getting redic
I start from seed and they get pHed water the first week then yes 7 grams per gallon maxi and a 1/4 strength shot of KoolBloom at 4 days before flush starts. So simple even a stoner (like me) could do it.
man this seems so simple, I just wish I had the time to forget what I have already learned....
What Im wondering is, if anyone wants to throw out some comments about how this works with two strains going at the same time. Have people seen increased uniformity of crops as a result of switching to a simpler recipe, or is the result the same thing with two crops, as far as quality goes but not with the same amount of growth. Like I think that if it worked correctly that the plants would show more characteristics of different expressions that would be easier to tell apart since they didn't share the disability of using a convoluted, if not counterproductive formula that stunts plants into a similar bland dark green color??

Flushing is like toothpaste is what I've heard
I'm getting ready to do exactly that. I've got 4 clones of a strain I'm very familiar with (Paradise seeds 'Wappa'). I'm going to run 2 of them with the KISS method and NO sups at all, the other one, I'm gonna do my normal supplemented Lucas formula. I'll post my results as they proceed. It's gonna be about a week before they get transferred to the flower closet.

1.9 e.c./960ish ppm on the .5 scale.
i dont use the 7grams/gal as it burns a couple strains i run in flower. i use the teaspoon scoop that comes in the bag, which is somewhere around 5.5-6.0 grams i think.

Please don't think I'm insulting you, that's not my intention, but this question has been asked literally dozens of times in this thread.
Here's an easy way to find out without having to read the entire thread:
I know this question will be asked a few dozen more times by others, so I took a snapshot

Been running Maxi for this past grow in Coco for 8 plans and Sunshine Advanced for the other 8. I'm week 3 into flower now and somehow had an iron deficiency, it went away.
Any of you having any luck adding in KoolBloom at week 4 for the PK spike?

Wait, what?
Occasionally I would come across a strain that required more magnesium... hence the addition of epsom salts for some plants and not others. (Epsom is simply mag and a bit of sulpher.. it doesn't contain excess nitrogen or calcium to throw off the nutrient mix like Cal/Mag does.)
The main difference between strains is usually solution strength. *shrug* If all your strains eat about the same rate... you might be able to run them all in the same res.
Stay Safe!

multi strain grows are always more of a pain in the ass. nothing out there fert-wise is ever going to change that
but i won't stop doing it

^^^^^^^^ LOL ...... are you trying to imply that reading is actually a good way to pick up information?
sounds plausible amigo ....... but i think we might need a side by side to prove it

I woud check it with some calibration fluid or something. I use .2 EC tap water and with 7 grams/gallon Maxi I get a 1.3 EC. My readings are with a Bluelab Truncheon Meter but I've never checked it for accuracy.
