Calcium nite@1gl= 150ppm N / 190ppm C
Epsom salts @1gl= 100ppm M / 130ppm S
MPK @0.20gpl= 45ppm P / 57ppm K
Base @1gpL
N - 64ppm
P - 63ppm
K - 90ppm
M - 30ppm
==========================================
Base + 0.5gpl Cnitrate + 1/4gpl epsom salt (veg+pre-flower)
N = 139ppm
P = 63ppm
K = 90ppm
C - 95
M- 55
S - 32
============================================
Base + 1/4 gpl Cnitrate + 1/4gpl epsom salt + 0.10gpL MKP (from pre flower to taper down)
N - 99ppm
P - 85ppm
K - 120 (is this too low?)
C - 47ppm (is this too low from week 4 onward?)
M -55ppm
S - 32ppm (also potentially low?)
I will also be using a kelp based foliar spray until flower onset. I don't know if this will fill the gap of lower C/K allowing things to finish healthily? (tap water has some C in too). I currently use a 2-1-4 base but the K I feel is too high through veg and pre-flower (around 160-180).
There could be the option of using the above and then swapping to the 2-1-4 base after pre flower, giving the ppm readings below. Part of the problem with the below is that I have to use the base at 0.5gpl in order to hold the other ratios. This means the micro nutrients are also at half rate since they are in with the base. I've never noticed any micro deficiency but it may still be an issue?. They do say you can feed from 0.5-2gpl of the base but I guess that depends on how you source the other needs.
N - 150 > 95
P - 84
K - 216
C - 95 > 40
M - 60
S - 65
Any help is very appreciated. The new base can only be baught in 20kg sacks so I want to be sure it has use.
