Can someone please answer a nute question for me!!!

Ok so i have four plants under a 250 hps i got gdp, bigbang, a strain i like to call alex and one called pipi. So i flipped the switch about 7 days ago and went out and purchased botanicare products ripe and bloom i thought i was sure on how to use them but im not i searched the forum and could not find the answer i was looking for. I just wanted to know how i should feed with these does the ripe and bloom get mixed together or do i just use the bloom for now and then the ripe. Also i have bloombastic on the way which i know is not used untill the 4 week in but should i use this with the bloom or the ripe or both. Thank you very much for any helpful info that might be given means alot to me. I also forgot to add im growing in soil and should i use this everyday or every other thanks again.

You should have two differant kinds of nutes at least, one for vegging(grow), which is when you lights are on 18hrs and off 6hrs a day. The ofther kind in the flower(bloom) nutes, when you put the lights to 12/12.

Use 5 mls per gallon of your bloom formula and water with plain water every 3rd watering. I've never used that ripe product and I'd throw away that boombastic crap. I would however look into Liquid karma, it's a nice humic/fulvic acid additive that will help your plant's uptake of nutrients. Unlike a lot of products out there, I always see a benefit when using that type of additive.

i see alot of people say "use fresh water" every 3rd or 4 th watering iv never done it, but there must be a rly good reason if so many experianced guys are saiying it, i generaly use more ferts then advise on the bottle and never have problems, homebrewer can u throw some facts at me on this pls
sorry for jakin your thread mike

Fertilizer is liquid mineral salts and those salts can accumulate over time in your medium and around your roots (hydro mediums included). When this happens, you can have toxic salt build-up or just enough build up to hinder the uptake of nutrients. In all reality, we probably feed our plants too much in the first place so watering with fresh water every 3rd watering helps prevent issues related to mineral salt build up. FYI, the suggested rates on a lot of fertilizer bottles out there is too strong. If you have a TDS meter, check the strength of your mixture and I think you'll find it's way too high.

I've never tested the effectiveness of these flushing agents vs plain water since they're fairly cheap and I only use clearex in my hydro trays. In dirt I use plain water but I'm sure your product will work just as well.
