Im not sure I didn't buy it all in one hit but lets just say if the Mrs found out I would be In the shit lol. She thinks its all lol 10$ a bottle lol.

I think the base nutes were cheap but additives are all like 70 to 100 a bottle so probably like 3 or 4 hunge I suppose

let us know how you go with the amino treatment.
The Amino treatment is fucking awesome, I'm running it with coco a and b only, the only other thing I have used is the cycocel PGR, the growth rate with the amino is just sheer stupidity, it's one of House & Gardens best products IMO.
Amino Treatment is about $100-120, 1 litre a and b is about $30 for both and 5 litre a and b about $80. You can use other additives if you wish, however, it's well documented that there a and b contain enough of everything to use without the additives, one of the best base nutrients around, it's pretty stock as far as cycle and amounts, starting in veg at 1ml/per litre, slowly increasing to 3.5ml/per litre throughout the cycle backing off to 1.5ml/per litre late in flower, I run 45 litre res and have used 4 sets of 1 litre bottles at $30 each time, I should have just got the 5 liters to begin with. Anyways you get the idea, I swear by it, same results as Cyco from 2 bottles not 9 or 10, quick and easy to use, water, add a and b, ph base nutrients to 5.5-5.8, add any other additives and ph again, boom, check EC level and run your feed.

roots excelurator is worth its weight in gold too imo. i have used rhizotonic and a few other root boosters and none has come close to roots excelurator. no sooner does the seedling pop up and u have roots coming out the bottom of a 1/2l pot, nice big white fuzzies very impressed.

I will be checking run off everytime now just to be sure but I think now that I have done a good initial flush I wont have any more problems
Are you doIng run to waste or recycle ? If run to waste, your coco should come stock around ph 5.8-6, add your base nutes to water and ph em, add your additives, check EC and ph again then feed, forget run off ph, if recycle, forget run off, check res, if the res is unstable, your run off will be, if your having high ph spikes then I can say with 90% positivity you have an airstone in the res, if so rip that fucker out, despite all the hype around people saying aeration, oxygenate, well, as public enemy used to say " don't believe the hype ", oxygen displaces hydrogen in water spiking the ph, just put a small submersible pump in the res so it's always moving and mixing, it will stabilize the ph.

nah im just running a run to waste grow this time around just so i can more easily run my hp13 test beans. im not sure what ph my coco came in at as i didnt check it. everything i read said it is super simple plant them and go so thats what i did. a couple of the seedlings were just looking sad droopy leaves and ust a bit pale. so on my next watering i checked the run off and it was over 7. i flushed and flushed with ph 5.8 water until runoff came down all is good now and i assume it will stay down. luckily i cracked a few beans ahead of my testers to work out any bugs,lucky i did too. so the testers had coco that was thoroughly flushed beforehand and they all look super happy
