New grower here I was suggested to use AN micro grow bloom for my first grow it was autoflower. I am now growing regular plants from clone. They are about 20" tall after about 6-7 weeks. The first almost 2 weeks they were stressed until I tran planted from solo cup to 1 gallon then they did good. They are now in 10 gallon pots with 45% happy frog 30% roots organic 15% ancient forest (general hydroponics). I want to use up the micro/grow /bloom does anyone have suggestions on the ml to L ratio and a if any suggestions on better veg/flower nutes

Do %75 of what it says on the bottle. 4ml/l start off with 3.

It says to use equal parts of micro /grow /bloom all the way through the grow. It seems it would have different needs at different stages. Am I just over thinking?

you use micro/grow in veg 3ml/l for a couple of feeds then turnit up to 4 ml/l. when you see pestles on your plant that means it started flowering.give it 3 ml/l of bloom the first feed then go up to 4 again something like this pic

Continue to use micro and grow in flower?

For future reference, premix dolomite lime at 2TBL/gallon soil. This will allow a proper PH and thereby allow your plant to ingest relatively large amounts of nutrients without the worry of severe consequences. And while it is true that the soil mixes often do contain some sort of PH buffer in them already, I've always found them to be wholly insufficient.

What I do is give high nitrogen and low phosphorous during veg, balanced nitrogen and phosphorous during the transition and heavy phosphorous and low nitrogen during flowering. I usually switch to the high phosphorous/low nitrogen around day 21 of flowering. Also, if you're worried about overfeeding then go only 1/4 or 1/2 strength, but as mentioned above, adding dolomite lime to your soil will allow for full feeding, if not more.

some people continue to use micro and grow in less doses in flower but as a beginner don't. just use the bloom and if you have any other Advanced nutrients like big bud or candy but or whatever AN has in their lineup for flowering. if you just go with the bloom you'll be good man

I'm just beginning to understand/learn the whole NPK problem being most recommendations are for hydro. I believe I have a fairly rich soil so don't want to over do it. Once i use up the nutes I got any suggestions on veg/bloom nutes

did you already buy the AN growmicrobloom >?

if yes then use 2ml/l because you have rich soil. if they respond well after a while you can increase doses. by respond well I mean they look good no nutrient burn on the tips of leaves etc.

if you didnt buy it yet then get yourself cheaper nutrients like GH they'll do just as well. AN is pretty good but very expensive.

So general hydroponics is just as good?

I believe they're just as good for a beginner. best thing about AN is the PH perfect which means it balances its ph when mixed. get a ph tester and ph up down, maybe some cal mag while you're at it. thats all you need

yes a ppm meter is also useful so you know how much you're feeding. remember use 50% of recommended dosage then work your way up
