Good shit Hobbes !!!! I was looking for amounts as well. Like a gallon of a&b grow and a gal of a&b bloom.

Germination - distilled water (see Germination chapter, Weed Science)


Per Gallon of Water - I feed every watering, 2 gallons of water per 5 gallon bucket once a week

Veg

Fox Farm Big Bloom and Grow Big
1/4 tsp each - seedlings
1 tsp each - remainder of veg

1/2 tsp Hygrozyme
1/2 tsp Liquid Karma
1/2 tsp Dark Energy (I have no idea what this does, I just like the name. Cool design on the bottle. My plants grow better with it, maybe because I like the name.)

.

Flower

1/2 tsp of one - Fox Farm Solubles: Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching.

1/2 tsp - Hygrozyme
1/2 tsp - Liquid Karma
1/2 tsp - Dark Energy
1/2 tsp - Super Nova

Skip these for your first few grows, they can burn leaves and bud
1/4 tsp 2nd half of flower - Kool Bloom
1/8 tsp late flower (reduce solubles) - Big Bud
1/4 tsp mid flower for several weeks (reduce solubles) - Gravity

Great stuff, give as much as you want.
1.5 tbs 2nd half of flower - Over Drive

each grow i usually start out with 7 plants and end up with about 4 after week 1 of flower. i veg about 4-5 weeks under a 400w hps. i use ffof with 30% perlite added and i only feed twice at most during veg. i have had the same bottle of ff grow big for 4 grows now since i only use about a 1/2 tsp per gallon a couple times a grow. the shit is turning brown and it's probably time to throw out. big bloom however i start using full strength around week 3 of veg (4 tbl per gallon) and a 32 oz bottle only lasts one grow. i use it for watering only. i introduce molasses (1 tbs/gallon) into the bb around week 2 of flower and continue using till there's about 2 weeks left of bloom. for flower feeding i am trying out jack's classic blossom booster at 1 1/2 tsp/gallon (the second notch up on the scoopy thing). i've only fed with it twice so far since i'm barely in the second week of flower. this grow i am also experimenting with botancare cal-mag since i've had minor issues in the past and none of my nutes have calcium. 3 times throughout the grow i will add 1/4 tsp cal mag to my feeding solution. i have done this once so far. the cal mag is a sample size and i plan on it lasting a while.

edit: i'm not sure i used the correct abbreviations for tablespoon and teaspoon but if there's a b i meant tablespoon.

12-18 in veg, 9-15 in flower. Perpetual grow constantly pulling things out and putting more in ur cutting clones etc. I go through about 1 batch of 3 part lineups nutes, each part is $10-11 x3 = $33 per 2 months so about $16.50/month on nutes for a fairly large home grow. It was 3x that much when I was using name brand synthetics.
The organic nutes come in 32 OZ bottles.

I've currently been using dynaGro and go through about 1/3 of a gallon from clone to harvest for a 15 gallon ebb and flow system. Total nute cost is about $16 for every 6 plants.

I love that.

I am using General Hydroponics in DWC buckets.

I use, 3 part Micro, Gro, Bloom.
Floralicious Gro and Bloom
Diamond Nectar

1 gallon of the 3 part system and quarts of the rest. I should have bought a gallon of diamond nectar (didn't pay attention to the amounts needed)

I figure with me purchasing 1 gallon of diamond nectar more I can go through 6 cycles at least. maybe more. that is 4 plants (2 in 5 gallon buckets, 2 in 2 gallon buckets.)

Current strain is at 600 PPM for 3rd week of veg (starting today)

FYI for you Dark Energy users. You really only need to use it the last 3 to 4 weeks of flower. Its helps to up the ethylene production in the plant, helping it to ripen. Its fine to use it the entire grow but kinda a waste.

I use the Fox Farms liquids in the quart size and I've my current bottles over 4 months and they are still more than half full. I follow the FF suggested mix , every other water. First two weeks of flower, I feed every water. I also use the solubles; Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha-ching, 1/4 tsp - 1/2 tsp per/g in different phases in flowering.
