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 .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?
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 .
