So I have botanicare pure blend pro, bloom and grow also with it liquid karma and general organics cal mag+ ....as it goes now I've been watering about once a week. My medium is 50% coco loco 50% roots organic potting soil.


I went to botanicares website and did the calculator for nutes...

I know ur supposed to use 1/4 to 1/2 strength. But was wondering if this calculator compinsates
That...?image.jpg

Also wondering if I'm supposed to PH water before or after adding nutes?

And what should the ph be, since I'm in two different mediums...


And the last question is that botanicare feeding chart says feed every watering ?

Should I be doing that? Or every other one? Or what


Please if your gonna talk shit or call me an idiot, just bounce


Looking for people with experience with these nutes and or growing mediums thanks guys.

Ok need some info. Hiw old are your plants? You wont need any nutes just calmg and water for the first 3 to 4 weeks of the plants life. The soil has enough in it to feed the plant. When i start feeding 5 to 8ml of the Pro Grow is my starting point and i slowly increase weekly or as needed if the plants are wanting or taking more nutes. Once in flower i contiune the Grow nutes for the first week at full strength. Week 2 i start to reduce the Grow and increase Bloom until i have replaced all Grow with Bloom at the same dose i was feeding. All the while calmg every watering. As the plants grow in veg you will need to increase watering, i have to water every 2 days or my plants dry out and droop. I do watering with just calmg and no nutes once a week to prevent salts building up in the soil. Keep in mind you may need to water and feed more since you are in 50% coco 50% soil. I also do a PK booster in flower, Liquid Kool Bloom is what i uase but any would be fine. I no longer use Botanicare as my main nutes. Now i run Hydroponics Research Veg Bloom Dirty and i love it great stuff and simple. I also did not like the GO calmg it messed up the ph too much so now i use Botanicare calmg and it is much more ph stable. Adjust the ph if the water after adding all your nutes. Hope that is helpful. Feel free to ask if you have questions.

Thank you

How many ml per gallon of water on the cal mag?

And do I need to give more and more as they grow or just keep it a steady amount?


The plants are small,
Clones, theve been in solo cups for almost 2 weeks and today they got into some new pots


They're gonna stay in these for about a month and then go in some bigger ones an go to flower

3-5ml of calmg. I use ro water and do 3ml every watering every time. No there is no need to increase calmg at the plants grow just the veg and bloom nutes. Your plants look good overall. I would be adding about 5ml of veg nutes at that stage, watering every 3-4 days as needed and increasing veg nutes a little at a time. When you transplant next time run all soil and skip the coco mix. Seems like your are new at this and soil is simpler. I recommend Happy Frog as it is out of the bag. Coco is great and i am going to try it out soon but there more that can go out if wack with a hydro medium. For example coco eats up calmg and locks it away under the right conditions.
