Lighting A noob tries DWC - LED .many strains -in deep & sinking fast

Hey Vira, whats your approach to Formulex? I cant figure it out entirely after 9 months of use to be honest. Even at 1/4 stregth (so @ 1/4 of suggested hydro feed of 10ml/L = 2.5ml/L) the EC is still huge, like 2.0 or close. Do you go by EC or trust the label?
Alright Groff .... Never gone by the label mate .I keep things as basic as poss to the point where i just copy Seymour !. At the very start he says to go full strength rhizo & then make the EC upto 1.2 or there abouts (depending on background EC) with formulex , & thats it for week 1 or 2 ,then switch to your base veg nute .Every week I do a res change from there I just up the feed o.2 EC or 100ppm & monitor .

Example .... week 1 = 60ml canna rhizotonic & about 50/60ml of formulex or however much gets the EC to where it needs to be .
week 2 =60ml canna rhizotonic & a bit more formulex to up the EC a bit or kepp the same maybe?.
week 3 = 30ml rhizo & then canna aqua vegga ,but this stuff is stronger than formulex so i would keep the EC the same that week & up it 100ppm the week after ect ect .Simple as that bro :booya::thumbs:TBH i dont get people going 1/4 strength ect ,The EC tells you how strong your res needs to be & all plants are different so amounts on the bottle are only ever a guide at best .& always for photo plants ,so i never take any notice ,unless its something like bigbud .Thats says 2ml/L week2 through 4 of bloom & thats what i use.After that will be some potash & then PK , the potash is strong stuff so i'll be carefull with that... work it up so im only at full strength in the last week ect . Ive only just been taught all this stuff lst grow by Kush n Ko lol.

Another thing worth a mention is you put the strong shit in 1st with later res changes .IE- cal/mg 1st & let it mix .... then bigbud .. then any other supps & finally the base nute .That way the cal/mg is properly diluted before any other nutes are mixed so not to couse any toxicity .Then you can set the EC/PPM to where the plant/you want it with the base nute knowing everything else needed is already in there.

Hope that makes sense lol :smokebuds:
EDIT ,a bit contradictory above maybe!.just woke up & AFN was still on the monitor !...I say I don't go by the bottle .. You do with some nutes Groff ...Bigbud = full dose for 3 weeks .Rhizo =full for wk1/2 .Others like carboload or potash you start low & work upto full dose ... cal mag is a tough one .. but formulex or aqua vegga that get added last would make up the EC to where its needed .

Man you weren't kidding about those bubbles. That res is BOILING with them and your girl is HUGE. Definitely a happy girl, so there it is in full proof, the more saturated oxygen in the res, the happier the girls, within reason to the nute soup and ph levels obviously. Learning a lot from you man. Keep it up. You earned those dragons. Really want one of those ghaze99's one day! :drool:

Day 62 brother... end of 3 weeks of bigbud tomorrow .Had a week of just bloom before that ,carbo is at 25ml tomorrow(5ml from max). week 5 bloom ,but i did set back the nute table coz she was fucked & left for dead for 2 days ect ,,, really bad start ,so week 3 was like 1.2 aqua vegga & worked up.??

I get ya homes . I wanna be seeing more buds so I looked in on seymours AM ,hes running the same nutes ect & they look similar (his better of course) lol.Taking a weeks stunting in to account .. Ive accepted shes going over 107 days easy & unless shes finishes a lot earlier & dies with no big colas im cool!?.:shrug:

The stretch has just stopped in the last week but theres new growth every day Kush ?. Could i just have the longest pheno & be behind due to early fukups & looking at a really long grow ??.

Ive been wingin it in the dark up to now lol ... was going Potash tomorrow but not full. nearly full coz the bigbuds done its thing but only like 17.5 instead of 22.5 (which is max). then go for PK or full potash week after ect ... for 2 weeks .... then OD /flush around week 14 ha .

What ya recon ?. And thx for looking in right when i need it lol.:smokebuds:
