So I had a successful grow on my first round but looking to do better.
I know there are some great growers here.
So I'm useing roots organics soil, growing in there bags that are a Lil bigger than a 5 gallon bucket. Useing General hydroponics nutes.
I plan to water_nothing_nutes_nothing and refresh over and over.... I plan on 6.5 ph on everything.
And I'm going to use one of General hydroponics schedule for nutes.... Thx in advance day 6 pic here from clones

GH line is ok. I've had success with FloraNova before in both dwc buckets and soil. 5ml per gallon every feeding during flower. The butter zone for soil ph is 6.5 - 6.8.

Any specific type of advice you are looking for?

I would ditch the GH schedule and give ur plants what they need, when they need it. I'd avoid their 3part system but if u bought already ditch their veg formula (2-1-6?) and use the other 2 so when combined you get a 1-1-1 ratio

Nope it's a pointless bottle in my opinion. It claims to be for the vegetative state but it has a 2-1-6 ratio no? It's got a low amount of nitrogen

Ditch the schedule too man your plants won't follow it, start giving them a quarter strength and see how they react. Remember that sometimes less is more(smaller dosages more frequently) than one large dose of nutes

So what should I use, the bloom nute in place of the grow nute ?.... that's kind of what I did last grow.... I only used the grow nute once on my last grow....

Why use any at beginning of grow?doesn't your soil have nutrients for about 4 weeks anyway? I used nutes once in 10 week veg and flushed them right away. Idk why everyone wants to feed so many nutes to these plants from the get go. I fed again once I started flower. No problems. And I agree don't go by schedule. Everyone has to water differently, grow differently, have different size plants, different strains, different soil nutrients all the good stuff.
