At what point do you decide that your plant is ready for blooming nutrients?

I'm yet to experiment with some silica.
I have armor si but I havnt used it yet, from what I've read it makes your watering alkaline so make sure to bring the ph down

Ionic is another good one part IMO. I find their bloom (3-2-6) to be perfect for veg and flower. It's also so ph stable it's absolutely outrageous. Great for well water.
Their veg is 3-1-5. Not worth the extra bottle.

You are speaking my lingo. I'd love to make my grow as simple and efficient as possible.

I got a liquid silica supplement and it turns into chunky goo when I add it to water. Idk I might be doing it wrong

At what point do you start bloom nutrients? When flowers first start to appear. This could be as much as 3 weeks after initiating the bloom cycle - Dr. Carl Berry , Resident nutrient chemist for Growth Technology (Makers of Ionic Nutrients in Europe and Australia)

  1. Ionic Bloom at 3-2-6 is a perfect one part within a one part all the way through. A little diluted but its all there. 4 tspns a gallon should put you at 650-700 ppm not including the tap water ppm. Work your way up to this number. Start out quarter strength, then half, then 3/4 , then full. Especially if your new to this or no meters.This is thier full recommended dose. PERFECT. If your tap water is 200 ppm or lower then all you need is this one bottle and some pH down. Get yourself a TDS/EC meter , a pH meter, keep it calibrated and this will grow outstanding crops guaranteed!!!

If you have any problems with this simple feed setup find out how light levels, temperature, humidity, co2, and air movement have a direct impact on your plants ability to uptake "plant food".
