Forgive me if it would be better off if I put this thread in the Hydro section, but I just started a few Diesel Ryders from the Joint Doctor. I was working on a feeding schedule that would work for them in a 2 gallon grow bag, filled with 50/50 coco and perlite, kept under a UFO LED light (no criticisms of the light, please) for 18-20 hours a day. I have never grown AF strains before, so any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have so far.

Week 1 - Seedling
EC - .35, Ph 5.5
SuperThrive
Sensi Grow A
Sensi Grow B
Week 2 - Seedling
EC - .70, Ph 5.7
SuperThrive
Root Juice
Sensi Grow A
Sensi Grow B
Week 3 - Light Bloom
EC - 1.15, Ph 5.8
SuperThrive
Root Juice
Bud Blood
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 4 - Light Bloom
EC - 1.5, Ph 5.8
Big Bud
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 5 - Light Bloom
EC -1.6, Ph 5.9
Big Bud
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 6 - Light Bloom
EC - 1.7, Ph 6.1
Big Bud
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 7 - Light Bloom
EC - 1.4, Ph 6.3
Overdrive
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 8 - Light Bloom
EC - 1.15, Ph 6.5
Overdrive
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
Week 9 - Flush (Final Phase)
EC - .4
Final Phase

I would start by adding the recommended amount of the first few additives, then upping the Sensi portion until I get the desired EC, then treating for Ph. Any thoughts?

I use a little known product called Vita Grow. Its a two part powder formula that I have had very good luck with.
Its inexpensive and seems to give the plants very good growth.
I buy it online from American Agriculture.
I have used it for years and have never had any problems.
For lowryders I use it at half strength. You can use it at full strength for a week to give you some excellerated growth then go back to half strength to aviod any tip burn.

I ended up switching Final Phase with something else, I forget, it's in the next room, but too lazy to get up.

I'm still flowering, about a week or two away from finishing, or at least I hope.

It worked well though, I think, but I bumped the ppm up from there, I don't remember what I kept them at, but somewhere around 1200-1400.

I also use coco, hand water, in 2 gallon grow bags. Nothing special, but gets the job done.

It's hard to say, but not much. I only grew three DR's, the rest of the space I used for vegies and such, and the three Dr's that I grew I used to make a seed run.
