I bought bud candy and big bud, so far everything looks pretty happy.

Hey Shawn... To be honest with you I do own a ph pen but I never use it. It stays on stand by. I have been growing for over 16 years and never got into worrying a whole lot about ph, ec, or ppms... But to each his own. I have just learned to watch my plants and give them what they ask for.
I have 21 clones in 5 gallon grow bags under 4000 watts. They are in promix with added perilite and some dolomite lime. I feed them Sen So Bloom at 3/4 dose about every 2 to 3 days (every watering they get fed). I keep slightly burnt tips but at the same time I know they are getting their maximum nutrient uptake. Along with the a&b, they also get 3ml big bud one watering, then the next they get 5 to 6ml. Not only are they handling these heavy feedings well but they are also getting other things as well. My basic feeding consists of this. And this is per gallon btw....
3/4 strength Sensi a&b
3 to 6ml Nirvana
3 to 6ml Big Bud
3 to 4ml B52
1/4 tsp of Open Sesame
3 to 6ml of Cal-Mag
1 tbsp Budswell
A "dash" of molasses
-1ml of true blooms (twice a week) via root feeding and then twice a week I hit them with 1ml via foiliar.
Then once a week they get 5ml of Earth Juice catalyst...
This sounds like a lot and it really is. But This is what my girls so want and This is what they respond best to. I actually find it all quiet simple, but then again I spend around 4 hours each night with my girls...
As you can see they stay healthy...

I give a lot of it to myself, my friends and family. I have clients as well...
I usually have some landraces going and have ran full land race runs that take anywhere from 14 to 20 weeks to finish. I get most of my income from my guerilla grows, but my indoor crops help me between here and there in that empty stretch. This is what I do for a living, I have done it for 16 years now and this is my life.
I consider myself a connoseiur actually with "financial needs". I never harvest early and I always take it in its prime.

I don't doubt for a minute that your intentions are less than noble and meant nothing by my "cash cropper" comment. It's a real nice setup you have going on and it might have been a bit of Sour Grapes on my part.
I'm looking at shutting down everything and losing the last year of strain planning to go out to the west coast and try to save my #2 son from his opiod addiction. It's that or let him die in the streets and I doubt I could live with that. Talked to him yesterday at the Salvation Army shelter he's staying at and he's clean now but at the end of his rope. Now or never.
And last week my #1 sister tells me she has stage 3 ovarian cancer but it's all good. She hasn't told my 90 year old mom yet so that's good as I need mom to finance this rescue trip to save her grandson. lol
Life's a bitch. Then you die.

Bet it would be equally happy with only the 16 nutrient elements that it is getting from your base nutrient

Could very well be, I want to give mega crop a go. Seems to have everything. 65 cents a week on big bud was worth a try.Bet it would be equally happy with only the 16 nutrient elements that it is getting from your base nutrient

I use sensi A and B with big bud, bud factor and bud candy, for some reason when I mix the nutes everything great until I add the big bud, then there's a lot of floating slimy tissue like stuff floating about wtf! i think it's a reaction big bud has when mixed with bud factor x or bud candy because it's ok when it's just base nutes, but my results are great with em, just a pain having to feed twice in the few wks using big bud

Transitioning from preflower to flower in my 1st time airstone DWC setup with IGLMs Jack Herer autoflower and am limited to ferts from soil/peat/coco grows (AKA Alaska Morbloom 4 perspective).
Being I live Zone 4b in a colonial 1900s home, I'm seeing temp swings from low 50s to high 80s in a week! Plant is doing well under 300watts full spectrum LEDs(even w/PH swings 5.8-7.9), roots are vibrant white, lots of feeders and solid tap, lush foliage, etc. No problems, right?
My question is, has anyone used Alaskas MorBloom exclusively in flower stages? As it's a muriate of potassium, it should create a more acidic solution in RO water, as my tap after RO comes out to neutral ~7.1, correct? I do notice drifts during the AM & PM and also in higher water temps (~72-77°F) but this week being so cold with outside temps being in the low mid 50s, water temps haven't gone past 67°.
Without going into more detail, can anyone verify if they've used Morbloom as a standalone fert?
My General Hydroponics Maxigro has been working wonders but with such high npk ratios, I need to transition. Also, can't get to a hydro store because there are no stores in my state or any around me and I refuse to spend with Amazon, eBay, etc.
Ideas?
