General Hydroponics Flora Trio and Cali-Magic - how to?

[OGHomeslice]

I gathered something like this is how one should use General Hydroponics Flora Trio and Cali-Magic from posts by Airwalker and 5BY5LEC, let me know if this should do the trick or if I am off. I just planted some more seeds (in seed starter), as soon as they are a few days old I will be moving them to a deep water culture with a bubbler.

This is for any volume of water:

1. Add Calmag until I get a TDS of 100ppm.
2. Add - Floramico next? until I get to 166.66ppm
3. Add - Floragro next? until I get to 233.33ppm
4. Add - Florabloom last until I get to 300ppm

Thoughts? And I should use all those from the get-go (not waiting until flowering for the Florabloom)?

Thanks for any help! This would generally be for AK feminized auto by the way. Thanks!

Again, the charts I posted, just work. Stick to them or dabble with 5by5's instructions if you'd like. But seedlings and small plants need a TOTAL of 200ppms with everything mixed ime.

Like he said, follow the charts. So much easier than what you're trying to do. Get yourself some cheap medicine droppers to measure you ml/tbls.

Also, don't forget to adjust for the base TDS in the water by itself. If the water out of the tap measure 50ppm, and you're aiming for a nutrient level of 200 ppm, the TOTAL ppm your pen should read will be 250ppm.

Thoughts?

don't use anymore fish tank water. aquaponics is a whole different ballgame than dwc.

here's how to succeed at dwc;
1. pH
2. pH
3. dont' overfeed
4. don't get root rot

Yep, just like that! Although, noobs might want to look into the details LOL!
