Would these nutes do the job??

Im trying to figure out the nute situation before i start buying my equipment...

For a flood and drain system i decided on using a 3 part solution...I know the plant neets Nitro, Phos, Potas...But how much of each do i give during the veg stage and how much during flowering??

After looking around i found
http://www.aquaculture-hydroponics.co.uk/category.aspx?categoryID=10&subCategoryID=239
So i buy 1 of bloom, grow and micro right?

However they all contain nitro, phos. etc. Where as i thought each one would contain a certain amount and then you just mix different amounts of each...How will i know how much of each to mix if they all contain the essentials??

the grow one has everything you need for vegging, the bloom has everything you need for flowering , and the micro is an additive to hopefully breakdown the nutes and get ur plant accepting them better, try to follow the charts , watch for signs of burn and cut the nutes in half if it happens

check ur ph/tds there mght be a sheet with those nutes to help you along but every strain is different so you cant follow it exactly... jst let your plant tell you whats wrong and watch for the signs ok buddy , readup on faq plant problems , and theres a great section on tds/ph ok happy growing :D

vegetative npk ratio- 20-10-10 or 20-20-20

flowering npk ratio-10-30-10


i use shcultz fertz all l throughout. 10-15-10

you don't want a high n or nitrogen when flowering. keep it at 10 or below . hope this helps:joint::joint:

okay cool...so for example during veg i would mix a bit of grow with the micro sollution...and then bloom with micro sollution during the flowering stage?

What would i add if the PH needed to be lowered/raised?

you can buy big ol bottles of ph down or up... if you want go to ur aquarium section at walmart and buy a ph test kit with the bottles of ph up and down ... lol probly wont last 2 long so go online or the dro shop and get a half decent bottle of up and a bottle of down.... i find you need to worry about this alot in flowering .. i didnt have a ph problem in dwc in vegging but you might ebcause of ur water who knows right

and i really hope theres a feed sheet with those nutes... go on google , type in the name go to the manufacturers website and there should be a feeding shedule buddy

and in veggin you need an additive and flowering you need an additive ....

vegging you need a souce of B1
flowering you need .... uhhh i use diamond nectar foliar spray lol.... its supposed to break down the nutes so your plant can take them up better

so i would go online and find out if thats B1 or for flowering buddy
lol hydro is a little complicated coming into it but really its a million times easier then soil lol

stick a meter in check the tds see if is too hgih.... every week youl know when you change the res what the tds is and week it will lower vrom addig water to ur res , then next week bring it up a point or 2 and if u see damage forming bring it down

keep the ph close to 5.8 if you can ... its prett important is between 5.2 and 6.5 because your nutes will bind together and be too big for your plant to take up and could look like burn but its really lack of nutriants being taken up ..... so in conclusion lol

check ph, check tds, and water every 3 days , and change res every week .... sound hard lol???
gatta love those pre mixed nutes man ... life is good:D:D:D:D
