Grow Mediums Feeding schedule?

[BillyWu]

Hi folks, I'm new to the hydroponics scene I'm having trouble grasping how to correctly feed my plants when I make the change to deep water culture. First, can someone check my nutrient list and confirm I have everything I need? I'm aiming for maximum yield (click on the name of the nutrient to get a link to the page where it contains information).

Grow: Sensi grow part A + B
Bloom: Sensi bloom part A + B
Supplements: Carboload, Sensizym, Big Bud, Voodoo Juice root booster, liquid CalMag supplement, Overdrive, Formulex
Utilities: pH+, pH-, Final Phase (for flushing, is this one really necessary?)

Secondly, is this approximate feeding schedule correct?

Seedling stage (week 1, day 0-7):
*Formulex (1/4 strength)
*Voodoo juice (1/4 strength)
*CalMag supplement (1/4 strength)

Vegetative stage (weeks 2-6, day 7-42)
*Sensi Grow part A+B
Weeks 2-3: 1/4 strength
Weeks 3-6: 1/2 strength increasing to 3/4 strength gradually (weeks 5-6)
*Voodoo juice (week 2, 1/2 strength)
*CalMag supplement
Weeks 2-6: 1/4 strength increasing to 1/2 strength (weeks 5-6)
*Carboload
Weeks 2-6: 1/4 strength increasing to 1/2 strength (weeks 5-6)
*Sensizym
Weeks 2-6: 1/4 strength increasing to 1/2 strength (weeks 5-6)

Bloom stage (weeks 6-12, day 42-84)
*Sensi Grow part A+B
Weeks 6-11: 3/4 strength
*Sensi Bloom part A+B
Weeks 6-8: 1/2 strength
Weeks 8-11: 3/4 strength to full strength (depending on how it goes)
*CalMag supplement
Weeks 6-11: 1/2 strength increasing to 3/4 strength before flush
*Carboload
Weeks 6-11: 1/2 strength increasing to 3/4 strength before flush
*Sensizym
Weeks 6-11: 1/2 strength increasing to 3/4 strength before flush
*Overdrive
Weeks 9-11: 1/2 strength before flush
*Big Bud
Weeks 8-10: 1/2 strength
*Final phase
Weeks 11-12: 1/2 strength

Sorry for making it so difficult to read! My main problem I'm having with my DWC research is how to properly feed my plant. I know people say 'use 0.8EC for seedlings, 1.2 - 1.8 EC for veg and bloom', but it that doesn't explain to me how much and how much of what I have to put in to make it up to that value

 

[BillyWu]

Any ideas please people? Just need some insight into proper feeding

Dont u think u have a little to much nutriëntents?
Its just just a question cause i dont know The products u are using.

 

[BillyWu]

No not at all.

Like I mentioned before just place your Ec-meter in your water and add a few drops till you reach the correct value!
If you just need to make a small amount batch this is the easiest way I found out!
:GoooAuto:
If you put 5ml or 6 ml feed in your water that doesn't mater what does is the EC!
:GoooAuto:
Afterwards put ph pen in solution and level-up or down!
You dont need to add every day feed to the water, but just place the EC pen in and add water till you reach the correct EC !
PH-meter and up or down( 5.7 in veg and 6.0 in bloom) after a week remove 50% of the solution and start again:tiphat:

For my next grow I may try the an line too

 

[BillyWu]

Yeah I'm familiar with the EC, but the question is how much of each nutrient do I use to make up that EC? Do I do all my nutrients separately? 0.8 EC doesn't tell me how much of what I should be putting in, only what the total should be
Or am I getting it wrong? I really don't get it.

 

[Soylent Green]

:Cool:Your main concern is the basics *Sensi Grow part A+B and *Sensi Bloom part A+B say you want your solution to be 1.0 EC add drops of a and b to your water till you reach like EC 0.7!
THan look at your whatever supplements you want to add and just few drops of enzyme till you reach EC 0.8 then some drops of carboload till you reach 0.9 and finally some vodoojuice till you reach 1.0!
EC is more important than to exactly add 3 or 4 drops to the tank! And if you feel otherwise just follow the bottles usually they say so much ml on so much water so if you want just 1/4 of strength just add 1/4!:Cool:

 

[BillyWu]

Okay I think I'm getting it now, thanks I'll try it and see how it goes.

 

[BillyWu]

Alrighty, just got another question. I found some approximate EC values that say what the EC should be at for various stages of the plant's life cycle. Can anyone confirm if these are accurate please?

Seedlings, Early Sprouts 100 to 250
Early Vegging 300 to 400
Full Vegetation 450 to 700
Early Blooming 750 to 950
Full Mature Blooms 1000 to 1600

heres what i wou7ld do if i had those nutes bro :smokebuds:

WEEK 1 & 2 .

voodoo juice FULL STRENGTH

formulex . upto EC-1.0 to 1.2 ( CHECK BACKGROUND EC & add 0.8 ).... note -would add 0.6 if using grow instead of formulex *

Thats all i would use unless your using RO & then add 0.1 EC of CAL/MG 1st .PH 5.5-5.6 ... After week 1 up the formulex by EC-0.2 for week 2


WEEK 3 until BLOOM .

Ok,you got through the 1st 2 weeks & all looking good ...shes ready for TINY AMOUNTS of cal/mg (3-4 ml per res)-(always added 1st ) silica (noticed its not on the list but needed really !) .silica is hot & needs to mix well like cal/mg so always add that second if using it but its only for a few weeks in veg . Maybe sensizym or wait till week 4 ?...& lastly switching from formulexz to grow .

soooo.....

WEEK 3 -

cal/mg - 4ml
silica blast (eg) 4ml
voodoo juice - 1/4 strength
sensigrow a/b ... upto the same EC as week 2 ...ph-5.6 to 5.7

WEEK 4 -

cal/.mg - 5ml
silica - 5ml
voodoo juice 1/8 strength
Sensizym FULL
sensigrow a/b ... up EC-0.,2 FROM WEEK 3 ... PH-5.6 TO 5.7.... *SEXED TODAY so keep on veg for 1 more week before bloom .

WEEK 5 -

Cal/mg -6ml
silica - 6ml
voodoo - 1/8th
zym - FULL
Carboload - 5ml
sensigrow a/b ... up 0.2 from week before

BLOOM STAGE WEEK 6 TO FINISH .(7days after sex )

switch to bloom nutes
Keep the zym on half to full for the rest of the grow ,
keep the voodoo juice on 1/8th for the rest of the grow (others may drop it here ?)
up the carboload 5ml per week until at full strength
start bigbud at 1/2 then go full the week after ...,
AS OF NOW KEEP PH BETWEEN 5.8 & 6.0

sooooo ...

WEEK 6 -

cal/mg 8ml ? maybe more if deff stotted ,up by 2ml
voodoo - 1/8th
zym - FULL
carbo - 10ml
SensiBLOOM A/B .... up to the same EC as week 5 * by now you should know where you EC needs to be by her feeding habits.

WEEK 7 -

cal/mg - 10ml
BIGBUD - 20ML
voodoo -1/8th
zym - FULL
carbo - 15ml
Sensibloom a/b ... up to wherever the EC sweet spot is :


WEEK 8 -

Cal/mg - 12ml ?
BIGBUD - 25ml
voodoo 1/8th
zym - FULL
carbo - 20ml
Sensibloom A/B ... TO DESIRED EC

week 9 -

up the cal/mg -2ml ect
up the carbo & bigbud to FULL
think about PK boost for the next week ?????

after a PK week ,run overdrive for a week with a reduce3d EC ,then flush :dance:
sorry if it sounds a bit confusing but thats a typicle feeding schedule for my grows :smokebuds:
