Are Forums the best place to learn...?

[thegreywind]

all I did was express my opinion on how to guide beginners..most would know I'm actually helpful at times
but answers the same ol questions over and over gets tiresome..is it too much to ask Google first?

Yeah I can understand that. When I google stuff I get lost on the internet for hours.. I’m the queen of rabbit holes Google is like YouTube for me. I just love learning. Especially about weed!

what I've been doing is screening out the calnit balls. add back 1g of calnit + 4gs of the remaining mpk. this gives a balanced ratio without adding anything

essentially trying to model the Jacks321. Renfro has some great threads on bloom ratios and adding anything to megacrop has caused me nothing but headaches. I suppose if what your doing works that's awesome, I've just noticed my plants are very picky past week 5 with N content and I like to keep the levels as minimal as possible. I also use a coffee grinder on my megacrop to even the consistency

I'll have to try that.

I'll have to try that.

if you separate all the calnit from the mpk you will see how much it is calnit:mpk and there is alot more then necessary. but it works well in veg. just reduce the volume by 1/2 to 1/4 , varies by cultivars

 

[Wattzzup]

It doesn't reduce what's there. But adding P & K only changes the ratio for a more productive flower cycle. Puts the ratio's more in balance for flower.

What are the ratios you think are proper flower?

What are the ratios you think are proper flower? I will give you a clue they aren’t double digit.

a nice 2-4-2
with a lil 0-2-2

 

[MICHI-CAN]

1-8-5 is my best producing to date. Not constant though. As much as 40% reduction in some strains for P & K. LOL.

 

[kovidkough]

veg 3-1-2 / 2-1-2week flower week 1-5, 5-8 1-1-2, 8-10+ 0-1-2 has given me great results

Seems low on N. The one I’m using is 2-5-3 that worked well last time. Organic

you record 40% reduction of P & K from your soil after a run?

what about on N / micros?

 

[Wattzzup]

I was more curious of what @Budz Buddy was using. It’s probably 10-50-30

 

[maranibbana]

Seems low on N. The in using a 2-5-3 that worked well last time.

you can use that the entire cycle imo

My flower us 7-4-6

 

[kovidkough]

The ratios?

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or shed some light on the preferred ratios of calcium to phos as well as Fe : Mn. Im giving a go at mixing my own nutes and I just wanna make sure everything is balanced so I don't have a headache down the line... Ie for flower I...

this thread is golden

study up

I have a hot stable base and proven amendments. Matter of medium build.

I can give you the info I have in my notes & charts in the morning. My book is in the Flower Room & it's on the Off Cycle now.
I know you can add as much as 8 ml. of Terpinator to 5 gr. MC per gal. & get great Trich production with heavy aroma's. Could just be the strains .... but over & over ?

 

[maranibbana]

My flower us 7-4-6

interesting... 7 on the N what's your methodology on that?

 

[Wattzzup]

You’re probably right. I was looking for something to take over once my soil was depleted but before switching to flower. So I found a 4-4-4 that works great

That I'm so good a lot of npks give me the same results.

 

[Wattzzup]

stretchy and airy results

 

[kovidkough]

this might help you figure out your npk ratios better

So, for example, an 18−51−20 fertilizer contains by weight

• 18% elemental nitrogen,
• 0.436 × 51 = 22% elemental phosphorus, and
• 0.83 × 20 = 17% elemental potassium.
