Hempy Buckets - Jack's Classic or Dyna-Gro

HB could you give an idea of your DG feeding schedule/quantities? I picked up some pipette style eye droppers which hold approx. 1/2 tsp each to make liquid ferts easier. I have grow, bloom, and pro-tekt. When I tried Jack's in hempy I had nothing but trouble.

Use enough protekt so that the combination of your water, protekt and base nutes puts you in your preferred pH range. A 1:1 ratio might be a good place to start and make sure you add protekt first.

You might try 1 tsp/gallon of plant food for a large plant in flower and maybe half that for a vegging plant? There are a lot of factors at play here but those numbers should be a decent place to start.

That's exactly what I started out with. 1 full dropper of grow and pro-tekt (1/2 tsp/gal) for my 2 in veg, and 2 full droppers of bloom and pro-tekt (1 full tsp/gal) for the 2 under the HPS. From your earlier comment, it sounds like I should perhaps mix the bloom and grow for the flowering plants? I see that other than the NPK ratio, all other micro nutes are exact between the two.

I appreciate your feedback, by the way. You are one of the members of this board I have great respect for, though I frequently read and rarely post. It's so hard to filter through all the bad information sometimes.

I use a lot more 'grow' during the plant's life cycle in promix than I do bloom. Just keep 'em green with grow the whole time and sneak in a dose of bloom every now and again.
