So I have some powdered nutrients that you use to make up your base a and b nutrients to then add to the reservoir

They are called hydrocrop I will post pics of them and will also post the calmag i have from them and my tap water information

I filter my tap water with a 3 stage filter it shows 0.1ec after being filtered but it's at 0.2 before

I usually add the calmag (hydrocal) until i hit 0.4 ec I'm just wondering what ratio of a and b to add to the reservoir depending on stage of growth I was adding them at 50/50 in veg but I'm thinking that's not enough N and too much p but I'm not very good with stuff like that so I'd appreciate it if someone could have a quick look for me I'm currently in first day of 12/12 also was using diluted liquid silicon by Growth Technology to raise ph if needed but was only using a small amount

Medium - coco/perlite 70/30
Light - spider farmer sf4000
Temp - usually about 75 to 80 then 65f lights off

Had a few problems with temp recently but got it stable now just need to sort out humidity that's been all over lately but now I have constant temps I can get that dialed in

I've been feeding 1.9 ec but dropped it down to 1.7 the last feeding because someone told me my light might of been to much for them had it set at 80% at 22 inch so past few days been bringing it back up from 40% slowly

If anyone would like to know anymore just ask and thanks in advance if anyone can help

The instructions for their products are detailed on the above blog.

Should be a feed schedule but Google brings one up straight away . But make sure you read the instructions above to make the concentrate first

To clarify you make your stock solution using a and b in seperate containers with pure water and then use that solution at the rate in ml per litre and the ratio is not 50-50

Yes I've made the concentrate exactly as described but it's not produced for cannabis and I thought the numbers was a little off isn't the ratio supposed to be close to a 3/2/1

Yes I've seen them recommend different ratios and also recommended 50/50 in veg and only alter in flower was just hoping someone could crunch the numbers instead of me using trial and error

Thanks I found that a while ago and then when I searched recently what I found said 50/50 until flower do you think I'll be fine using g what they recommend in that pdf on their blog

I usually use dry amendments and I use the grow formula until the stretch is over after switching to flower. Then I'll either just go 100% bloom or do a 50/50 mix of the two depending on how they are looking after stretch. As far as what you're using, I'd follow the companies recommendations but use about half to three quarters of the strength and watch the plants to see how they respond. Keep a record of what you fed and when, it's a big help learning to diagnose your plants.

Will do thanks and I've been checking the strength by using ec meter
