other than Power Flush and Ultra Dank , that seems like it should be fine.

Muzzle2 · Aug 15, 2023

Awesome, thanks for your advice, but what are those 2 for?

They are teasing you. Essentially you need your base nutrients. For example I use GH Flora trio so for me it's Micro, Grow and Bloom, and possibly some Calcium, Magnesium (I use GH CaliMagic), depending on your water. That should get you to a good harvest. The simpler you can make it the better and quicker you'll learn. Get to growing and the plant will teach you everything you need to know.

Hitting your target VPD for each stage of growth will increase your yield more than any additive ever will

Grown using jacks 5 12 26, magnesium sulfate, calcium nitrate, and some beneficial bacteria powder. No extra gimic products

Maybe fine tune not removing the Grow portion out after week 3. I keep running out of nitrogen with the bloom only feeding.
Unless your other additives have amounts of nitrogen.

7CardBud · Aug 21, 2023

The main three things that gets you weight are genetics, proper basic nutrition and environment.
The extra booster products "Might" add another 10%, while doubling production costs.
Many people blast vegging plants with N and wind up getting weak clawed leaves or waste money adding tons of P during flower.

If you like tinkering around, you can DL Hydrobuddy. Then you can dial in proper feed levels for your plants.
In terms of PPM a good veg profile is 130N-30P-150K-80Ca-40Mg-2Fe and a good Flower profile is 100N-50P-190K-90Ca-45Mg-3Fe. Plus essential micros.

I'll have to go back into my camera roll and see what they were exactly. I have grown so many strains

If you dont mind me asking, what strain is your favorite that you have grown and why? Mine is Skunk Classic by Flying Dutchmen, the best tasting bud Ive ever had ever. The flavor is unlike anything Ive ever had. Cant get those seeds anymore unfortunately I dont think

How did the Barny zkittlez play out? Did it smell like zkittles? I've been trying to get my hands on a good zkittlez strain.

It is the most exotic tasting plant. It's truly fruity and candy on a whole different level. I've never tasted anything as flavorful as my pheno in 25 yrs. trim is great for edibles adds a great flavor.

I use only jack and calcium nitrate with bennies. drop the epsom salt, jack have already enought.

Muzzle2 · Oct 12, 2023

Guys, I'm kind of in need of help. With this nutrient schedule I'm noticing my buds at trim are breaking a part. I don't know the term for it, but 1 nug breaks into 3 vs staying together and dense.

I'm using Gavitas 1700e LED and my lights are at 100% - 108%.. Some people have mentioned too much nitrogen, but given this schedule would you agree with that?

Budzbuddha · Oct 12, 2023

There is absolutely no reason to hyperload a simple cannabis plant with all that stuff ( crap ).

A simple 2 part feed is all you need ….

( Repeat that until it burns into your brain )

“ A simple 2 part feed is all you need “ … repeat.

Plus the fact you are combining 2 separate nute lines together… WCGW

Possible issues from nute antagonism is a strong possibility as multiple NPK is trying to work on a lone plant. 99 % of those cartoon label bottles are unnecessary in your grow as long as you provide a base set of nutes which can come ironically from the host soil itself.
