I ran the GH line back in my hydro grows and it’s fantastic. There is one problem I’ve found with them though.
First and foremost, PH is important!! Dial in at 6.4/6.5 on your water. A lot of those nutrients as you add them will throw the ph out of line and when you add the next bit of nutrients they’ll precipitate and drop out of the solution and be unusable by the plant. This is especially true with recharge, armor SI and calimagic.
I do know that when mixing my nutrients I tend to start with armor SI, which will put the PH to 8-9. Crazy high. So I PH That back down to 6.3 STIR, then add calimagic. Then stir like crazy, calimagic likes to drop out a lot. Then micro. Stir, then grow/bloom. Stir. Then the Other supplements. I never used recharge with GH trio but I’d say to add that with the armor SI because that will also raise the ph to 8-9. recharge directions say don’t worry about PH but I think that’s bullshit.
Make sure After silica and recharge you set the ph to 6.3!!! Super important. Once your nutrients are mixed PH one last time, to get around 6.4 6.5.
I notice you’re going reasonably high on your nutrients, I’ve never used GH trio in soil but it might be a good to consider dialing it back too.
Also, make sure the lights aren’t too close, I fried my soil grow a bit doing that.
But PH is gonna be your most important. If your pen isn’t working get some calibration liquid or drop cash on a new pen.
Hope that helps, I really wanna see this lemon cheese succeed! RIP Franco
