Sorry of course im use fox farm nutes when i feed it at begin of flower i gave it a little tiger bloom ,grow big and big bloom.like to a 1:1:1 ratio dont know the actual n p k ratio tho I could get back to you on that.gave them a drink of 800 ppm and its been no good since.been flushing since and it keeps dieing.I water with tap water and it comes out at 150ppm but dont know how to test the cal mg

They are starving to death. Feed the plant till the end. Using a 1:1:1 ratio of the 3-part it should be pretty easy to extrapolate the effective NPK. Just add up each column. Shoot for an NPK ratio of 1-3-2 that late in bloom using what you have if you can get it. FF chart feeding is criminally low in Nitrogen so toss it in the trash and feed em what they want.

Agree with Doog they are starving, you can't just keep flushing and not feeding and not expect them to die
Get some DynaGro and feed them, DynaGro has everything they need, Unlike most nutes marketed for MJ

What should the ppm/ec be at on a 1.5 month old plant in 12/12. 1280 now and ph is 5.8-6.2 and is a NPK for bloom of 4-0.5-6 good to use? Just curious

Thanks for the reply Uncle Ben, It's appreciated. Even though you weren't able to answer my question Doog's comment about FF feeding chart being way low on Nitrogen did, so I'm only going to use their charts as a reference guide and feed my girls what they are showing me they need. I'm finding that the hard part is being patient and waiting for them to show me instead of trying to second guess them.
I've already got the FF nutes so I'll use them until they are gone (can't afford to waste even less then ideal nutes),and then start using things that are designed to keep my plant healthy, not stuff that's supposed to maximize flowering and production. Less P and more N.

You are on your way to healthier, happier plants.

That's because I've answered it 500 times before in other posts. The "search" feature is your friend.
Folks are impatient. It takes time for your plants to react, and usually you look at the wrong plant material for a confirmation. Look at the new growth, not the old.so I'm only going to use their charts as a reference guide and feed my girls what they are showing me they need. I'm finding that the hard part is being patient and waiting for them to show me instead of trying to second guess them.
Good luck,

Hello, another quick question for you all.
I will be using the basic AN 3 part nutrient system. Micro/Grow/Bloom 5-0-1/2-1-6/0-5-4 respectively.
Now I`m thinking I should use Micro/Grow in 1:1 while vegging, giving me a 7-1-7. And Grow/Bloom during flowering, 2-6-10. And then watch how the plant is reacting and further adjust from there. Would this be a good launching point? Also do I need anything else? I know nutrient companies sell millions of diff products are any of them that worth it?

Peters makes good fertilizers. Those found at Walmart or Sam's is fine. Nurseries sell decent fertilizers. Dyna-Gro is hard to beat
for hydro and soil.[/QUOTE]
I agree..Peters makes the best chemical ferts
I remember the days when I could get 20-20-20 anywhere, and blossom booster.. Now its called Jacks Classic, very hard to find in my area. I miss that fert. fer sure
