New Grower help with a nute profile

[archaiclife]

:thumbs:i need help mixing my AN g-m-b to come up with a good nute profile. i have all the suplements from AN and im on about the 4th week of a auto grow they are growing pretty good but ive keept seein slight deficanies. ive been scared of over feeding them since this is my first auto grow and i heard that autos need less nutes. i tried to go to cannastats but the microsoft program it runs though wont let me do anything because it says it needs to be registered. btw im growing in 3 gallon air pots in coco. if anyone is useing AN G-M-B in coco i would greatly appreciate the help on how many ml of each and at what ppm worked good for u

they are ph perfect nutes. it says on there web site u can mix at differnt ratios

 

[archaiclife]

should i still ph these nutes. the guy on the phone at AN said no even as long as its between 4-8 ph but that goes against everything i know. so should i listen to the guy at AN who probably has never grew with it and sounded like he only knew what he read off a article or go ahead and ph the final solution? i dont want to ph it if its gonna be no different but if it will help to get the ph in the right place regardless of it being absorbable at a wider range it. basical if my ph comes to 7 after mixing should i lower it to 6 with ph down

Can anyone tell me if i can mix the ph perfect GMB in a different ratio than the recomended 1.1.1. Ratio? When in veg im either low on phosphorus or to high in nitrogen when i raise ppm to fix the P problem i just need to make sure its not gonna.mess with the way the ph perfect is spose to work if i use more bloom than grow.

You already answered your own question. Yes, you can mix them in different rations.

I just wasnt sure because one of the AN techs told me i had to have equal parts for it to work properly but that didnt make sense to me for it to be a 3 part that has to be mixed at a 1.1.1. Ratio and on the bottle it says u have to use all three. Have u actually tried this with good results or u just goin by the way other 3 parts r usualy moxed

Mixed***

Also with the ph perfect conni can it be mixxed at a slightly different ration than 1.1. Or should i just use supps to get me where i need to be with the conni

I'm using the AN pH Perfect nutes, not the 3 part, but Sensi A and B, Grow and Bloom. As with most autos, how much they use/need is somewhat strain dependent. So far I've found that they can take up to 3 ml per gallon without showing any signs of overfeeding. How well they regulate the pH is directly related to the starting ppm of your water. I use rain water, which can vary, usually between about 60 to 120 ppm. As long as I'm in that range they do what they are advertised to do. If the ppm gets higher, I've had it as high as 160, then the pH will stay higher. So far it's not gone out of range but has been right at about 6.6 with the high ppm, a bit higher than desired. Have you checked the ppm of your water? If you're getting 7 after adding the nutes I suspect your ppm may be too high.

I've also found that it's best to have your soil or grow medium pH properly before you start using their nutes. I had some issues last grow where my soil pH was a bit high, 6.8, and even though I was feeding the AN nutes at around 6.3, I still had some lockout issues. After getting the soil down the a more desirable 6.4, all was good from there on.

No my runoff is always 5.8 when i mix my nutes in i get usualy around 6.3 somtimes 7 when i bubble. But my run off is always right on 5.8. Im in coco btw it does have some cheap peat in it though cause when i started these i was low on coco so i put a lil spagnium peat in the mix. I think the peat made the ph alil low but since i started useing the ph perfect nutes things got alot better. Im switchin to conni next feeding today though i got a little clawi.g from uping the nutes to try to help the P def. But i think it should straighten out after i put tye conni in use beings its got a closer profile to what my plants r askin for. Even with the small def they r lookin great im at around day 35. Ive never had the claw before so i hope it straightens out easily since its only in a few leaves
