@BigDaddyK, My PPM at the top is correct, but the ML for each nutrient is not correct. I only use ratios and honestly, I don't keep track of how many ML of nutrient I put into my res.
Lets say for week one and two GH recommends 2.5ml of each Flora Gro/Micro/Bloom. So a 1:1:1 ratio for each nutrient. I will add 2ml of each nutrient per gal of water for the first 2 weeks. Every day I will add back 0ppm water and take a reading, and see what my plant has used. I will add back that ppm to replace what it has used, then I will add that same PPM back again to double it. Maintaining the 1:1:1 ratio. It sounds more complicated than it is.
Also Depending how the plant looks, I will alter the ratio, so if she looks low on Nitrogen I will alter the ratio to be 2:1:1 Gro/Micro/Bloom but still try to hit my target PPM.
Hydroguard, Silica, Calcium, and Bud Candy are just extras that I only add during reservoir changes. If I skip a res change I will add half-strength Hydroguard, Calcium, and Bud Candy skipping the Silica.
Hopefully, that makes sense?
