DWC Nutrient Ratios?

[Trippyness]

Hello, newbie here to DWC.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction of Nutriet Ratios for
Flower
Bloom

Parts per Million as well.

How much to use or a chart.

I will be using
TechnaFlora Nutrient

• 2x B.C. Bloom - 1 Liter Bottles

• 3x B.C. Boost - 1 Liter Bottles

• 1x B.C. Grow - 1 Liter Bottle

• 1x Awesome Blossoms - 1 Liter Bottle

• 2x SugarDaddy - 1 Liter Bottles

• 1x Thrive Alive Red - 500ml Bottle

• 1x MagiCal - 1 Liter Bottle

Superponics 8 Plant System

• . Top Feed Watering

• 2. Deep Water Culture

• 3. Bubble & Aeroponics

I have a Meter to read PH, PPM, Temp.

Just need to know what i should be using for ratios.

I will be running a SoG (Screen of Green) Big Top Colas with
4 Cotton Candy
4 Purple Haze

reason for SoG is Space here and want to see some large Colas

whatever it says on the bottle's people tend to go abit less ..... Then boost it up when the plant gets bigger.

what does it say on every bottle you got there ?

I dont have them yet but will update when I will.
Just trying to get a good OP going.
thanks for the help so far

If you don't have them yet, can you still cancel the order? All that crap just stands in the way of getting a "good OP going". Just need 3 bottles at most for dwc: A/veg/grow and B/flower/bloom and pH down nitric acid. The rest will only create problems not more bud.

The instructions on the bottles are useless. Plants don't follow nutrient manufacturer's charts, too many variables.

PPM without the bullshit bottles should be roughly 300-700 depending on the ppm of your tap. If the ppm value drops very fast over a day or two (like 100 of that 700) you can add a little more. If for example you added 500ppm and it's 540 the next day, add some water to dilute it to 450 ppm. If the plants get to dark green or light/burned tips on the leaves, use lower ppm. Underfeeding on dwc is hard as long as you run a balanced mix, which using all those bottles won't result in.

Hello, yes im well aware all of the crap is useless . Not a total nmoob but had a cupon for 80% off so why not.

Pm going to PM you if thats cool I have some questions in regards to DWC

 

[Trippyness]

im still a bit vague on Nutes of dwc but looking into it.

Oh I see, I totally understand, I started hydro with a House and Garden starter kit with a huge discount. I only use the base nutes now.

Just post them here, that way your questions and hopefully my or other answers can be of use to others who read this now or in the future too.

It's important to keep it simple. The whole point of hydroponics is that you only have to provide the essential nutrients (NPK, Ca, Mg, etc.etc), the macros and the micros, which are in any complete product and likely in your grow and bloom bottles. The rest is usually a subset of those essentials added with nonsense like vitamins and sugars etc. While using the base nutrients in moderate amounts can save so much trouble.

Will post here.

Yeah I will never use the other shit very unlikley just crap garbage.

The essentail nutes mainly and PH up and and down nitric acid. Thanks for the help.

One I get everything Ill be back here asking more q and A. My main Q is how much of each would be usefull. Id rather not brun my plants.

I will have several Plants in a DWC ( in SoG under a 900 LED (450 actuial watts)

All the help and info I can get the better.

Hoping to get a good yeild.

See the last part of my first reply for how much nutrients to use. When the plants are small, seedling, 350-500ppm will do. So add grow nutes to the rez till it measures 400ppm for example. Once the plants get bigger and take up more water you can measure the ppm daily and see if it drops or climbs. If the ppm decreases more than 30ppm in a day, you can add some nutes, if the ppm climbs over a day the plant takes up relatively more water than nutrients leaving more nutrients behind in the res than water. So basically if you add too much nutes to the rez the ppm level will climb over time, in which case you should add water to lower the ppm. When the water level drops and the ppm remains rather stable you found what many refer to as the sweetspot. I suggest lowering it a little once you found that spot.

For example, I add nutes till the rez is at 500ppm, which drops over two days to 450 ppm. Then I add a little water and some nutes to get it back to 500ppm. Every 7-10 days I don't add water but refresh the entire contents. Less often is doable, but doing it weekly can prevent a lot of problems.

understood

One thing, I assume there is different parts like a 1:2:1 ratio? Along those lines.

One thing, off topic a bit.

I will be running SoG I herd you cannot start a true SoG from Seed so I would have to get 1 Mother plant from seed put her in Veg until mature and cut clones then SoG from my understanding.

If you dont know thats fine. Will look regardless

Found a source of http://generalhydroponics.com/site/index.php/resources/faqs/nutrient_and_flora_questions/

. Im a newbie I just dont want to kill the plants. Want a good start

 

[Sativied]

You can run a sog from seed, just switch to flower early. Clones do work better in a setup like that though. If you get the time and space keeping a mother plant is certainly handy. Got to start somewhere though.

Sometimes you need to mix the parts, like equal A and B part, or a decreasing amount of veg and increasing amount of flower nutes, but with some others you just need to use one bottle at a time. Surely that will be on the bottles instructions. When you get them post that and the NPK ratios (and other ingredients).

GH does have some very good articles online, although the use and amount of nutrients won't exactly align with the ones you ordered.

thanks will update once received. You have been very helpful

I use the same line of nutrients for years now. I have ran the whole technaflora recipe for success. And I've ran dwc with just the three bc grow, Boost, Bloom. I don't know it there the best but they work great for me. There definatley a test of time because i bought my first bc grow bottle back in 2003. The other nutrients like the sugar daddy and magical i only use if i see that theres a nutrientproblem.
Not to mention that ive always used thrive alive when i transplant cuttings or seedlings. Love the stuff. I mix a little in with my foilar spray the seaweed extract gives your leaves a nice lush look i also use neem oil and airated compost tees. @Sativied.. i do the same thing you do, kinda wein your plants onto the feeding schedule.
Also technaflora has a whole mixing chart im sure your aware of by now called the recipe for success that should give you a good starting point. If you cant find one in pdf, or just a picture of one pm me an i'll send you the actuall chart. I have it memorized by now ive read it so many times.
Bottom line Technaflora BC grow bloom boost are a no hype nutrient line that work just as good as any other line of botique fertilizers at half the price.

 

[RockinDaGanja]

Oh yea always add your boost into your solution first

Thanks for that. I have done quite a bit of research since posting this.
I understand the ratios and PPM thanks mate

Actually have ran dwc with tech and now using advances ten times better smell can't cover it up anymore and there in veg ran tech for the first month and it worked great but I decided yo switch mid way though because of the oh perfect tech kept going up for about three days after res change haven't had a prob since growth,smell, and color all better when I started the b52 the stalks went crazy about the size of a qutar at the base deff seems better but that's just my opinion.no actual facts or like a side by side testing potency yield ect I ran at half of what it calls for and I'm at 650 ppm plants are taking off also hberg tea, hydroguard,b52 and sugar daddy all at 1/2 what they call for
