Hi all!
I have recently gotten back into the hobby and I am vegging and blooming in ebb and flow. I start with rockwool plugs and then expanded clay pellets. The bloom has 12 sites, the Active Aqua 2 gal kit.
Lighting is Illumitex led's, LS for veg and NS for flower.
So, I have chosen to go with "Lothar's Recipe"
Bloom
Week-----1-----2-----3-----4-----5-----6-----7
Grow---2.5-----3-----3-----4-----4-----4-----4
Bloom---10----12----14----16----16----16----16
Micro----6-----6-----7-----8-----8-----8-----8
Ml per Gallon
At each rez change, I have been feeding them with a very light feed of base nutes for 2 days, no silica, cal mag or epsom salts yet. It was suggested to do that each rez change to prevent salt buildup from the GH flora nutes. Told to then add in my nutes and supplements and bring it up to desired full strength.
Questions:
1)How do I avoid lockup as I read to always add Silica (Botanicare Silica Blast) before anything else, then micro, grow, bloom and supplements?
2) When in flower and how much liquid KoolBloom to use?
3) What are your thoughts on including molasses whether to help fush or regularly?
I was setup using Pant!t coco chips in the AA sites and it sucks balls! Vegging is clay pellets and doing great, I can only imagine how much better it will be once I am in clay in the flower room. The plants stall in this coco, roots never really went far. Second week of flower so we'll see, they look good but are only flowering to get them out of there. Not trees to be sure. lol
Really appreciate anyone's help. Thank you!
