ok, so i just picked up my babies the other day and i need to do my first mix of nutes this morning. headed down to the grow shop as soon as it opens. I allready have 5 gals of botanicare pure blend pro veg. Today I am going to buy liquid karma, CalMag and possibly a root stimulator like aquashield. Anything else you would add. How strong should i mix. I never follow the feeding chart as that is a recipe for killing your babies. so i was thinking of doing 5ml/g pure blend, 3ml/g liquid karma. 2-3ml/g CalMag...and maybe another 3ml/g of the aquashield. Any advice? i just want my girls to be healthy :) any help is appreciated

start with 1/2 or 1/4 the reccomended dose, if they have any minor def increase if and minor burn decrease, some strains are heavy feeders and some very light feeders so just experiment.

I really like fulvex and seaplex. The Zho sounds good too but I have yet to try it. I am also interested in the vitamino that they have out now too. I must admit that I have never had Botanicare products burn my kids up. I usually feed heavy too. I think your plan sounds good. I might use a bit more Karma though (5ml).

i run a full line of botanicare pbp and have for a while. here is a great veg recipe.
in ml per gal of water
pbp veg 8
lk 2.5
calmag 2.5
aquashield 5
silica blast 3
i also am a huge believer in beneficial bacteria and found that for the money pond zyme with barley is a great product. best roots i have ever had. half a scoop to start res and a quarter scoop every 4-5 days. a one pound container cost $16 and treats thousands of gallons.

Bro why do you need any of that stuff ? Soil is the priority not Nuts,,, Do this at least, try growing one of your plants nut free. take measurements ones a week. and see for yourself. Just make sure you have great soil.. Farmers don't look for good fertilizer right of the bat. But they do look for the best possible soil... Here is one of my plants all grown with great soil.. its about twice this size now with out any.. Advanced, or any other fertilizer. Always use a bigger bucket then you think you need, You can always go back to those nuts if you need to. But try it you will thank me later... No charge...magicmountain.jpg
