IF YOU ARE GROWING IN SOIL YOUR BEST RATIO IS 12-14-24.
Does anyone ever get dark green leaves from using 3-1-2? I've gotten it with Foliage Pro and now with Heavy 16 which is closer to 3-1-3. I get dark green leaves and red petioles.
Been using 1-1-1 these past two weeks to see if the red petioles disappear. Just GH micro/bloom 1:1 equates to a 5-5-5.
sure giver shit
I think the dark green leaves is possibly a dosage issue.
Yeah? I've gotten it in like .8EC (400ppm) on a 2 foot late veg plant. I never exceed 1.2-1.5EC even in late flower. This is DWC under a 600w.
I think those flower feeding levels are high but to each their own. I wouldn't recommend a 3-1-2 for flowering in hydro. A 1-1-1 would work better and a 1-2-2 would be even better yet.
What do you go for in flower? You run dwc dont ya?
Would FP/Bloom for the first three weeks of flower in rdwc at a 3:1 1:1 1:3 work well?
Finally bit the bullet and bought FP for veg instead of grow.
So grow would be a better choice in your opinion Haze?
Haven't opened it so I can return it.

You seem to know your nutes, what is a optimal veg to bloom to flower npk ratio?Your info is pretty mixed up there. 3-1-2 for veg though I've found 1-1-1 works just as well. 1-3-2 for flower is by far the best NPK ratio I've tried thus far.
Too much P locks out Zinc, Iron, and Copper. Not sure where you're getting N from.

Silica can also cause this. You can't really kill a plant with too much silica but there is definitely an optimal range.
