Awesome. I'm planning on using it in 5 gallon dwc. If I add cal mag with it (my tap water has low ppm) what should the ratios be? I know 7 grams /gallon of maxibloom is what's called for.
Maxi Grow and MaxiBloom?

The strength varies.......I only used 1/3 tsp for my entire last grow.

I use Grow and Bloom. I was adding CalMag during grow as I am using it in coco. I did a hydro, changed the fluid every two weeks, no issues. Agree with mixing in a cup of warm water, Bloom dissolves well, Grow seems to have some things (don't really want to call them particle) that are stubborn. I just stir for a minute or two and then add to a gal. I use one tablespoon, it says you can use two. I use it every day and don't bother to get runoff. I may be able to get better results caring more (or maybe not) but I have enough other things to do in life. It is simple and works foe me.

yes, I am still using GH Maxibloom but I don't bother with the Maxigrow anymore.
I use 7 grams per 4 litres and about 5 ml of calmag (it depends on your water as to how much calmag is required)
My previous grow...I tried these fancy nutes and was not impressed, so I'm back to the basic Lucas formula.....very simple and cheap
The Maxibloom has changed up their formula (it's a bright red now like koolaid), the old stuff took more effort to mix
I use an old food blender to mix up the powder.....use hot water and blast it for about 10 second, then it's perfectly mixed

no idea why they changed it twice in the last few years but i actually like the newest formula
no problem testing with pH drops, as the amount of liquid you test with is not enough to impact the test colour

Probably a terrible question, but when testing pH/PPM of a res after a few days, are you to stir the solution first?

Also, what amount/PPM of maxibloom do I want for seedlings? Any?

I don't own a ppm meter but I start at 1/4 tsp/gal.

I wouldn't feed seedlings anything until they're growing their first set of true fan leaves. dose should be very low at that stage.
Your res really should be circulating but yes if it's sitting still for a period of time I would stir before taking measurements

What type of training would you do for 4 plants in a 3x3x6?

It really depends on personal preference. I prefer to only LST by using a screen to spread out the canopy. It keeps veg time short and allows good use of my light.

Can I do a Scrog or SOG with a dehumidifier/air pump/power strips in there?Attached is a pic of my setup.

Nevermind, just realized the netting would be much higher up than the ground...
Is a scrog easy to do for a first timer?

Also, how easy is it going to be to change out 5 gallon reservoirs with this method...?

Scrog can really been done with any grow style. it can be fancy with a well designed screen or can be strings pulled across your tent.
I'm not an expert on dwc but your probably going to want some kind of pump you can drop in the bucket to drain each one. pump it down, pour fresh water in, pump it down and then replenish the res with water.
Or get some kind of transfer pump which works like a siphon.
Here's a picture of my scrog which I just used strings tied on the corner posts

Here's a pro setup for dwc lst from a member on this board. This setup allows you to move the bucket and spin it around which would be difficult with a screen..
