So I am using advanced nutrients conn a and b in soil with full line up of supps in flower. I'm growing in roots organic soil. The guys at the advanced customer support seem to be reading from a script and are limited on what they can say as they cannot reccoment any other nutes or any variance of their feed schedule. For example, my og strains do not like nitrogen very much in vegetative as the soil provides enough, but doesn't contain enough magnesium. When I ask advanced they tell me to use their cal mag plus. The problem is it has a 4% nitrogen content which isn't much but the soil ark easy has plenty and plants turn dark and get a little burnt when I use cal mag. So they aren't much help. I have used other cal mag supps but notice them getting locked out due to calcium build up in the stem.
Has anyone grown in roots and used advanced nutrients sensi a and b along with supps for vegetative(my problem is in veg not flower)? If so, I need help with a feeding schedule. When to start feeding and how much. I use an 8 week veg with the following containers: 2 weeks in Dixie cups, 2 weeks in 1 gallon, 2 weeks in 3 gallon, 2 weeks in 7 gallon.
My issue is how much and how often to feed. The calculator gives a weekly feed but doesnt specify how to use in soil. In hydro they use the same mix all week but in veg they require 3-6 feedings a week(water or feed). So am I using the full amount of feed every feed or am I dividing the total ppm over the total amount of feed a week?
And do I alternate feed/water?
Using RO system so do I need to add cal mag in every watering or alterante between feed and cal mag or just use cal mag with the feed.
Also, if countering a calcium build up, how much magnesium(Epsom salt) should I use per gallon in the root zone to counter the lock up, and do I continue to use that same does after lockout is clear?
Currently these are my ppms they could be too much or not enough and it's driving me crazy.
Dixie week 1 200ppm
Week 2 250
1 gal week 1 300
Week 2 350
3 fall week 1 400
3 gall week 2 450
7 week 1 500
Week 2 550
Using sensi a and b
B52
Roots excelurator
Great white
Sensizym
Bud candy(sugars and magnesium .5%)
Cali magic cal mag 1 time a week.
They start to show positive signs then fall off a little. Red streaks and dark leaves and top leaves aren't pointing up but kinda of hungover like they are tired. Paper like to touch rather then soft and moist. Very dark almost blue which tell me overdose but when I give water after a few times they look worse.
Yes I know growing in soil and using synthetics is contrary to what most are trying to achieve with soil. However, my finished product is insanely sweet, clean, and tasty. I'm not cocky or bragging but anyone I show it to freaks out and loses their minds. In my experience the organic and synthetic create a unique product that is different from most others. I have tried coco and it is much easier as far as mute application and acceptance but the taste and yield I get is much greater. Even the nugs have a much different look. I like a challenge so I'm gonna stick with soil and advanced just need a little hep with veg if anyone can lend some professional advice. I'm not an amateur but I'm no pro. Middle ground trying to find the high ground. Perfectionist looking for perfectionist advice not trollers or any Waco newb advice that came from Jorge Cervantes out of a book. I need hands on professional experience.
Thanks and hope to get some good feed back
