Calculator is made to guide you trough, but you need to make your own decisions as grower. There is no 100% correct way to success, it is way of trial and errors. GL
Grow Mediums Advanced Nutrients pH - PPM Perfect Technology and RO ?

This is a common misunderstanding. Every calculator starts its schedule at the point the plants are no longer considered seedlings. But here's the fun part: not everyone agrees exactly when that is.
If you look carefully you'll see that they recommend the base nutes at 1mL/L for cuttings/seedlings, 2mL/L for small plants, and the full 4mL/L for mature plants. The chart/calculator starts when the plants are "mature" enough to enter the typical veg stage.
Regarding the advice to give your plants "no" nutrients, that's more a soil thing than a hydro thing. Soil almost always has enough nutes in it already to keep a seedling happy and adding more would be bad. But in hydroponics the only nutes are the ones you give them. So your seedlings or clones only have the energy they bring with them to start with, and you need very light doses of nutrients to let them grow past that point.
This is a key thing that many people don't seem to get. "I gave them what the bottle said to and they died! This stuff is crap!"
Instead, it's our responsibility as growers to give our plants what they need rather than just following instructions. The pH Perfect line is the closest thing I've seen or heard of to something you can just follow the directions on without thinking, but science isn't quite there yet. I'd say you can grow just about any strain at 75% nutrient strength without ever measuring a thing - if you're running RO water of course. But even so I wouldn't actually recommend it because some strains will want more or less than that, and environment plays a massive role in this as well.
The nute companies do their best to print instructions that can be followed, but there's no instructions that would be right for everyone, we have to do some of the work ourselves and tailor the diet to the needs of our plants.

Great topic had to bring back to life. I'm running dwc with sensi grow and bloom a&b ph perfect with voodoo juice, b52, big bud bud candy and overdrive. I gave my two test babies half strength grow with some b52 and voodoo juice with significant growth over night! Very excited about this line. Komach did u ever get some? Anybody with their insight on this line and their results or opinions would be great. Bout to look up some of jackals an dwc grows
.
Yes I use them for my 2-nd grow already, got good results, but in my setup they are not phperfect not at all!

Damn that's not good. Did you use any additives and how was the water before nutes? But thanks for your input and ur set up looks nice damn I want LEDs. The mazars look very lush good luck on ur current grows.
have a question bout nute ph perfect 3 part... iam using the 3 part and now bout to go into blooming stage could i use organic budswell with my 3 part with big bud from hydro organics....

I use ro ~ 5ppm and it has ph of 7.5 (don't know why) and I use only sometimes other additives but it is not that related.
You should not worry it should work flawless with your setup! (it is just me with my weird issues like always = disaster grower)
