Grow book i own says 30 ppm magnesium in veg and flower. Since flora bloom has the most magnesium, i think it makes sense to use the cal mag during veg mainly.
6/9 is for flowering, no matter what idiot said use it for veg its just a imbalanced npk for veg and wasteful. If you ask 8 people what dose to use per gallon of calmag or calimagic you will get about 7 different answers. All i know is ive had explosive growth at the higher levels of ppm around 600-800 usually around wk 3 veg and I used 0 calmag. I just like to add the calimagic early in first couple weeks when ppm's are lower, and maybe just a little 1ml or 1.5 per gal at 600-800ppm..I like this thread.. Hopefully someone is still interested in this or has some results using the GH line for coco... I'm about to try it out for my first coco grow. It's pretty much the cheapest stuff you can find that actually works well (as far as my dwc goes)...
So far I see people going by this
6ml per gal : Flora Micro
9ml per gal : Flora Bloom
3ml per gal : cal-mag (on a need to use basis... I would imagine using this every other feeding would be safe?)
1 tsp per gal : Kool bloom powder (only used during the last 5 weeks of flower.. Add to res two days before res change ?)
I see some of you saying you use silica too but don't see how much is used per gallon...
I am curious to know if there are anyone is using any supplement to help the plant intake nutes? I would say some organic microbe but the salt based GH nutes would just kill the bacteria.. What else could be used? Or does anything else need to be used?
Also, I have read good things about the Humboldts Gravity and purple maxx... People swear by Gravity making denser buds and Purple maxx packs on Trichs (can initiate purple if strain is genetically capable.)
But using General hydroponics nutrients, would it be safe to use the gravity and purple maxx in the same res? Or would I just have to foliar feed?
Nice! Im also glad to see this. Do you have a journal going?Old posts some time the most relevant ones! In veg using tap water with a EC of 0.4, i feed half sttength of whats on the bottle for a ppm of around 500 first 3 wks & up to 700 4/7wks from seed.
I run h3ads formula with Epsom once per week and everything is bless!!
the strengths on the bottle only come out to less then 1000ppm. there perfect. 5-7ml grow, 5 to 7 micro, 3-4ml flower. per gallon for veg. 15 flower, 10 micro, 5ml for grow for flower.Ok thats what I figured since most people have told me GH burns at strengths on the bottle, just wanted to clarify. I dont think Ill ever go over half of what they recommend unless my girls are telling me they need it.
