I remember reading this somewhere? or maybe it was the other way around higher P in early-Mid flower and higher K in later flower in Coco?
I cant find the post for the death of me..
Anyone want to weigh in? Thanks. Pic of my last run with Salts in Coco coir: PBB- ice tray pheno

it's higher P in bloom and higher K for ripening
for all medium

coco bloom formulas usually contain more calcium and less K than hydro formulations.if you use hydro nutrient+coco in recirculation you can get calcium def/K toxicity.in run to waste it will work fine with hydro or coco base nutes

with a pk 13/14 you always have the same proportions of P and K.

so to increase assimilation of one over the other you play with the ph

around start at 5.5 during stretch then 5.8 for bloom (more phosphorous assimilated) then 6.0-6.2 on the end (less P but more K assimilated)

your buds are very nice
full of snow

Thank you bro, I'm learning one day at a time. I appreciate the feedback, makes total sense now. at 6.2-6.3 it looks that K starts becoming alot more available to the plant.

What strain exactly?? It looks like someone sprinkled white sugar on it! But seriously, that's a Trichome'd up Bud!
