i think i might give that a try again. i tried it a few years back.

how do you use it? grow for veg, grow for transition and then bloom for rest of flower?

I bought a cheap Osmosis system on Ebay I think it's enough for our hobby 190 liter / day / e part system. I looking for long time to it so now it's the right decision for under 50 bucks. I not only use it for Nutes also for drinking and coffee mashine

What is the best Water/Osmosis Kombination only osmosis is not good because pH drops to quick? Maybe 50:50?

I start with the grow at 2ml per gallon of tap water - increase to about 4-5ml after a few weeks. At transition I mix 2ml grow and 2ml bloom. Early bloom 4ml bloom and 2ml liquid koolbloom. Ripen 2-3ml bloom and 1/4tsp of dry koolbloom. I basically follow the GH drain to waste feed chart for FloraNova. I don't think I'll change again.

I'm trying to get denser buds. Koolbloom doesn't seem like its that important. More so a PK boost is all it is, right?

Yeah all these things with magic names are just marketing bs. If you want the best buds possible from the genes you're growing then as far as nutes go you just need a basic NPK plan with micro nutes and that's all. Your energy should be going into all the little things that tells your plant that you love her, like making sure the roots get plenty of oxygen etc.

For what it's worth, I use the GH Flora Trio and so far I've had good results. I'm currently growing my first DWC and haven't had any problems using the chart that was posted earlier. I cooked up a water adjustable Excel sheet and plugged in the recommended values for my 15 liter container. I use a mineral water that has calcium and magnesium in it...but if you use a reverse osmosis system, better have some CalMagic at hand just in case. I also use FloraKleen for the last two weeks to flush. I'm on my 4th week now and so far, so good.
