As the title suggests, are there any growers out there having success with PureBlend Pro Grow & Bloom in hydroponics (DWC, NFT, Aero)??

In aero/nft hybrid and dwc with RO water I mixed based off EC:
Silica all veg through the stretch at 0.5ml/L( no EC reading)
Calmag all veg through week 3 of flower at 0.5ml/L (0.2-0.3EC)
Grow/bloom.... start at 0.5-1.0ml/L, add more after other ingredients to achieve final desired EC
Liquid Karma at 1ml/L through veg, up to 2ml/L a week before flower through week 4 flower, 1ml/L through week 6 flower. ( 0.1-0.2 EC)
Hydropex at 0.5ml/L week 3 flower, 1.0ml/L week 4-6 flower, 0.5ml/L week 7 flower( 0.2-0.4 EC)
Sweet at 1.0ml/L weeks 2-3 flower, 2.0ml/L weeks 4-6, 1.0ml/L week 7 flower(0.1-0.3 EC)
Hydroguard at 0.5ml/L every res change.
Mixed in that order, add the majority of grow/bloom base at the end to get your intended final EC. I run just calmag and base grow week 1 and 2 at 0.4ec (0.2 calmag, 0.2 base) . Week 3 I add silica, liquid karma (0.1ec) and bump base up to 0.3, for a total of 0.6 EC. I'll run that up to 2 weeks before flower, when i start increasing the silica, LK and base ECs, shooting for 1.0EC going into flower. Veg base nutes through week 2, then either 50/50 veg/ flower, or just all flower base nutes week 3, depends how they look. When you start adding the sweet and hydroplex, remember to drop your base nutes a little to compensate for the extra EC. Week 7 drop the liquid karma, back of on the hydroplex and sweet. Week 8 run just flower base around 0.2-0.4EC. Top up with RO water only weeks 7+8. Always mix nutes, add them to the res, then adjust the whole res PH.
Adjust as necessary for variables

So your saying you have been successful on this line with an ec never exceeding 1.0?
Have you noticed any micronutrient deficiencies on this line?

Do you have any personal experience negative or positive with attempting a grow with the PureBlend Pro Product?
I am hoping for others first hand observations

Harvest will come out good, it's not bad stuff. It's just all the organic shit in it can give trouble like if DWC roots get even a liottle warm out of 'spec' gunk will take over, reducing o2 dissolved in the water and domino effect problems. and also its not as stable as a GH 3part synth nutrient lineup for example just having it around. It has smell, it grows shit, its not sterile.. many reasons it's just not the best for bare root systems. Was always a battle to keep the 'gunk' down. lines get dirty, if not from actual bad bacteria growing inside lines and buckets inside a warm grow room under lights, then from just the leaving a residue on everything. flushing cleaning becomes more pain in the ass. Pure salt ferts work in the bare root type systems much better, everything stays clean and sterile easy to rinse clean and no shit will grow from the nutrients.. etc. etc. Also, the buying the pure blend products no matter what date tag has on it you dont know how long has been on the store shelf, and what conditions and temperature was stored, it's not as stable and 'safe' as the pure salts. You can also measure the exact precise quantities of each mineral in a 3part synthetic mix and tweak for stages pof growth, pure blemnd you cannot do this and are locked into to whateer they felt is the so called perfect ratio and amounts of each mineral/nutrient. Okay, I think I wrote enough, hope this helps you grow brother. Take care. Good Growing.

No, that's just where I am, generally, going into flower. Some strains want more some want less, I've gone as high as 2.5 EC on large plants in flower. You'll need to figure out what each plant actually needs, not something I can really help with.
As for deficiencies, again strain dependent. You need to adjust as necessary, that's just my general formula I've come up with, that works well on most stuff.

Running PBP for over a year in aero and DWC, I've never had any of the issues you talk about. Once I had precipitation with the bloom, I believe because I mixed in the wrong order. Dumped, remixed and was fine. My res has run up to mid 70s. Cleaning was never an issue, run plain water for 15 mins between changes in my aero, rinse out buckets in dwc. And as long as EC levels are kept reasonable, it's PH stable.
