Hey everyone! Just thought ide make a post here about mixing a reservoir with the flora pro nutes. i saw one thread on here from earlier this year, however they didnt really touch on what im wanting to know. What does the grams/gal work out to when you factor in dilution in the stock tanks and then dilution of the stock nutrients for feeding etc.... i dont really want to have 3 25 gal barrels in my garrage. I know theres a mathematical formula to it all but my adhd has been kicking my ass and i cant figure shit out lol

maybe what i really need is someone to help my develop a feeding recipe.... not sure if i need epsom salts with the flora pro, but obviously ide need sillica; so if anyone knows whats the best/most economical source that would be awesome, otherwise im gonna stick to using plant guard by green planet.

Also im getting some dry mix fulvix/humic acid, the wallace organic wonder blend.... anyone have experience using this in ebb and flow? or even how much i can use to have a similar dilution to what a 23 litre jug of GPF uptake is

Just incase you guys are curious, im running a 3x3x6 with a 315w cmh over one "black domina" scrogged; a 4x4x7.5 with a hlg diablo scorpion with the uva bar, 660/730nm bar, and 4 26w cfl ubv reptile bulbs over 2 strawberry cough also scrogged..... ill share por- pictures if anyone is interested ill upload later. Currently my girls are about 2/3 of the way through week one of flowering.

thanks for anyone/everyones time and effort, happy growing!

I threw out all my different strains except for the Sour Diesel (of course) and the Black Domina/Afghan Kush. That Black Domina has such a sweet smell I figured I would keep it around a little longer. I just use Lucas Formula in DWC with a little Floralicious and Epsom salt around week 5 on. KISS.

Last run i had 5 different strains, all bag seed. Black domina was one of them, and i liked it so much i ordered seeds.... a long with about 20 other strains lol

Just looked up the lucas formula, interesting idea. But i feel its not as economical as using the flora pro series. Its 3 bags, 25lbs each, and each bag is $110 after taxes, so 330~ for a few years worth of base nutes ‍♂

I don't really keep track but a jug of Floranova costs under $100 and lasts me about a year and I get about 5 crops/ 10 lbs from it. I don't really need to pinch pennies any more than that.

Thats not a bad value, for sure. I could definitely sustain using the other series, but i to really make my operation economically viable (in terms of cost to produce high quality vs buying off the black market) dry nutrients are the way to go for me
