So I just took over a bagseed plant because roommate couldn’t take care of it anymore
He said he never gave it nutrients just light/ water/ air circulation
On that first day (Friday) I switched her to a 12/12 cycle, 50-60% humidity with red and blue led lights at ~45w
Watered the plant so wrong that she dehydrated on day 5 (Tuesday) so he lollipopped her and showed me how to properly water her and also learned she needed more light... yikes! I was using the towel and water bowl format as a cheap humidifier but after reading a lot of online tips I decided to take it out and keep her at a range of 50-53%
Another friend (one time grower) said she looked better 2 days later but she’s still lacking nutrients so I bought the General Organics go box and a ph balance kit
Day 9 (Saturday) new light (viraspectra v300 300w) came in so I hooked it up and kept the 45w red and blue leds
Need advice on how or where to start with the GO box nutrients... please

Thanks mate
Why don't you just google "General Organic Go Box Schedule"? It takes you 2 seconds and it comes up with a schedule where you can see what to give?
That being said, this just my opinion, 8 different nutrients and additives is fucking ridiculous. No wonder people are getting confused.
Since your plant seems to have nutrient deficiencies, getting organic nutrients was probably not the best idea...as it takes more time for organic nutrients to be available for the plants than with normal mineral nutrients.
Also..according to their instructions, you don't need to pH your water/nutrient solution. Not for organic and not when you grow in soil. Doesn't mean it would hurt anyway, eg. after you added everything check the pH of the solution and get to 6.5pH. (If you use tap water and it has a high pH, like in my case, this means only 5-6 drops pH down per liter. May be different for you).
Just my general input for this thread:
I am using the old and "boring" standard GHE Flora trio (Grow, Bloom, Micro). Why? Because the ol' Flora trio has UNLIMITED shelf life, and when I get nutrients I usually have them for a looooong time. Otherwise Floranova Bloom (Floranova is probably the best **** you can grow your plants with, it's insane) only has like one year shelf life. So I used my Flora bottles I had here for 3 years already. (Since I used something else in the mean time). Otherwise I would probably get Floraduo. Floranova/Floraduo also automatically correct the pH down, which isn't the case with Flora.

I think you answered your own question on why he doesn't just go with the general organics Go Box formula...lol.

Gotcha yeah that’s exactly why I don’t want to solely rely on their chart and also I didn’t know what kind of reaction it would go from 0 nutrients to like 10 ml I wish I would’ve found this website when I went and bought things based off 1 person’s suggestion
*eye roll*
I have found a few people swearing by this go box though so now I’m wondering if I start of with a quarter of what they recommend I won’t burn them with nutrients
Thanks y’all
Your grow looks great! I use a hot soil and brew tea and apply once a week. I'm not sure I see any real benefits from using nutrients based on photos that are posted. Keep up the good grows

Nice plants. How big are those pots? They look bigger than my 15's I have now.Your grow looks great! I use a hot soil and brew tea and apply once a week. I'm not sure I see any real benefits from using nutrients based on photos that are posted. Keep up the good grows

Oh ok, now that I see the gallon jug, that puts it in more perspective for me. They're beautiful plants. I'm only using organics, and give em EWC tea also. I had 3-4 buckets going at once last round, so I decided to use a Rubbermaid tub instead for big batches this round.

Looks good and cool use of the totes. I use my old 7 gal beer brewing buckets. Regardless if its watering or adding tea I use 1.5 gal to the 7gal pots and 1 gallon to the 5gal pots. With the temps averaging 78 degrees and the airflow its every 3-4 days of application. I'd like to have 1 plant in the grow and add the expensive nutes as bench study to see any differences. I'm using a 3000k hlg 600 for flowering.

Ya those taller brewing buckets are great. I was using reg 5 gals. I do have 1 of the homebrew buckets from a few years back, but didn't want to use it in case I decide to brew some beer again. I actually am using the long handled aerator from my brew kit as a stir stick though.
