Insanitystarted grow question 5 years ago

Can anyone advise me on nutrients? Its the one thing I am struggling with. I have settled to use the nutrient guide in the image, is that a good guide to follow? I also have some Liquid Silicone, when should I start adding that in?

I would give half of what the chart says. I would keep the ph at 5.8 for hydro. If you want to use Liquid Silicone I would try it around week 4.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Nutirents for hard water Question regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?
