The package of growing gear i got included the CX range of nutes so ive been using them, and so far things have gone well (currently 10 days into stretch). Since im about to transition into bud food, i thought i would add up the NPK's of the various bottles from the CX range (its a wacky system, no separate veg and bud food, instead theres a base food with low NPK + all micronutrients, to which you add extras depending on growth phase).
By my calculations, if you use the base food at 2.5ml/ltr and the additives at 1ml/ltr - ( as per insctructions) you get 18.5-22-26.5 for Veg and 8.5-44-50.5 for bud.
It seems to be a huge amount of P and K in veg mode. Are these numbers reasonable ? (It has worked very well so far in veg, with 4 plants taking 50 days to go from germination to filling a 4x4 screen, even though i burned the hell out them as seedlings because i did not realize that my jiffy pots had built in nutes! )
Stats are - Coco + pearlite medium (psycho canna platinum lol)/ 600w light + 54w 660nm / 3 x GG#4 1 x WW / Watered 2 -3 times a day / EC around 1700
