Came back to reference this, going to crunch some numbers of stuff I ran in the past. I winged it and seems 1ml a gallon put me around .8 ec with near 0 water. Seedlings are 10 days old and look hungryish... Leary About upping fnb or just adding some nitrogen aka cali magic. I didn’t bother getting cal nit, have trio grow and Cali on hand.
what's the label NPK?
agree on the stability. when i need to go away for a week or more, only gh maxibloom and fnb were stable enough to allow me to do that.
I assume you figured out the dropping ph issue you had? Think it was a ph issue if I remember correctly? I’m kinda winging it on ec and cal mag. I know Lucas shouldnt need calmag but both times I tried and it needed calmag. Prob feeding a bit under .9 ec at week 3. Pretty boring, numbers on monitor don’t move, nothing to do, just watch the grass grow.
they sent me the RO formula. i had their Tap version prior and all the pH drops. this is much more stable, it's good for a week.
Are you using the RO on tap? I hope FNB doesn’t disappoint, I was going to run jacks. I might be a bit hot but being one part, I feel I’m about half strength right now. They might be a bit dark and I ran into this with m/b last time, early calcium issue, not sure if I really ever recovered full, being new to the hydro game, but the smoke is good. So kinda paranoid, I just about recalculated to add flora grow. Cali magic might be a issue too, I should check some other options out. Used very little, 80 ppm. I don’t see anything otherwise, growth is pretty explosive and all looks healthy, will prob post a update here later.
i use my well water with the RO formula.
Yeah I had some spotting about a week ago on fnb alone, source is under 5 ppm. Might of been running to light at 2ml per gallon, I’m around 4 now.
It’s one part from start to finish, not just bloom.
Somethings still not right. Plants looked droopy and dark, added bit of calmag and ended up increasing ec a bit on top of that, I would say it’s worse or the same. I’m filling my holding tank again now for a res change, I’m contemplating adding grow into the mix with fnb. I was at a lower ec and I upped it to see, I’m going to lower it again but everything I read tells me to run Lucas @ 8ml gal on fnb. That would put me around 2ec though. .8 was no good, 1.4 is no good. I had this problem with m/b last time too. Maybe I should just grab the fng and do both, not sure, this is costing time though. I’m either too hot (no signs of it and I doubt it is) or lacking something like calcium and it’s causing some issues.
I ordered dynagrow FP for my restart... did more reading and pondering and I will just run Lucas for flower.
