Hey guys.
I decided to go a little deeper into the topic of plant nutrition.
What is the most effective feeding regimen?
I managed to see a lot of different ones (Lucas, Weede Gonzales and others).
But he could not find the best, confirmed not by experience, but by scientific research. What scheme do you use? What were your results? I will read every message with interest :)
P.S. (sorry for my english, google translations are my everything)

There is no such thing as "best" but you can find what is best for you.

Many variables including but not limited to genetics, grow environment, grow medium or hydro setup...

Gotta learn to read the plants and react to their needs.

my profession is a nanotechnologist and it’s hard for me to draw conclusions just by looking at something)

Well you are fixna learn lol

Seriously, the best skill a grower can have in their mental tool box is the ability to read the plants. Observing a plants visual ques combined with logical thought process can allow you to pinpoint the cause of a problem and fix it. Sometimes a plant exhibits a condition that could have multiple causes, then you use a process of elimination to figure out the most probable of those causes.

Having a good pH meter (a digital soil meter if in soil or coco) is critical IMO. You can have the correct feed but if your root zone pH is out of whack you will see deficiencies.

I use DWC and LED lighting. I have EC and pH sensors.
This is not the first time I've been growing. I faced various kinds of problems and all of them were solved with the help of Google. Well, I can grow without signs of lack or excess of anything. And the plant will look healthy. But I wonder how to understand that the plant works at 100%.

Hoagland Solution: IMO not for cannabis
Steiner Formula: IMO pretty good for cannabis

have not tried either, just going off NPK values

When you find the optimal feed, please share it with me so I can break it down in my calculator lol

I am always playing around with my feeds, grow style, having a second room as a control helps.

Biggest factor is genetics not feed IMO. A feed thats close will probably perform within 1 - 2% of one thats "perfect" and every strain will be a little different.

What is the name of the calculator you use? I want to compare with my Russian version)
