Below is my stock calculator. The top section is everything that goes into a gallon and then I just plug in 40 or 80 in the bottom section and my formulas calculate what I need for stocks (40 gallons' worth of stock in a 2.5 gallon container for seedlings and bloom phases 7 & 8, 80 gallons in a 5 gallon container for veg and bloom phases 2 & 4). I stir & pour 8oz of stock to top off each gallon of water -- drain-to-waste, so I don't calculate ppm at all. I probably should, I just don't. For initial clones/seedlings, just pH down. Shortly after, I use GH's seedling schedule ... and then their higher dose for early veg. They have eight (8 ) phases for bloom, but I just use phases 2, 4, 7, & 8.I was using the floralicious plus and it made my res pretty dirty. I changed to a recipe @Renfro shared a while ago and I love it.
30 gal RO water in order of how they're added( I use tap and probably 3/4 this recipe, I make the batch then dilute to the ppm I want)
60ml armor si
150 ml calimagic
45g Epsom salts
200ml micro (You can do 150-220ml all with good results)
200ml grow
250ml bloom
I've modified it somewhat. It's probably overkill on a few things, but using rockwool and keeping pH just under 5.5 (closer to 5) I have no burn except the occasional plant's tips (generally, only when I over-pour).
Less is probably better. Thanks!
