MrAndersonstarted grow question 5 years ago
I was always wondering if im calculating nutrient mix right.
For example:
My tap water is 350 ppm.
In late veg i should feed 800 ppm mix.
How should i mix? :
1. 350 ppm tap + 450 ppm nutes = 800 ppm mix
OR
2. 350 ppm tap + 800 ppm nutes = 1150 ppm mix
I always mixed "1" way

You're doing it right, it's total ppm you want.. using distilled water to mix nutes iß best because you can squeeze the most ppm into it without being too salty.. also in late vegi target 900-1000 ppm at a pH of 5.8.. to get them used to a saltier solution.. in flower it's 1000 ppm target to start and in week 3 I jump to 1200 ppm +/-. pH of 5.5. They love it.. . In soil id work with a slightly higher pH. More 5.7-6.0 in flower.. cheers! Keep it Green! DWCHC 👈 👍

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

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates
