I hear growing with LEDs can require quite a detailed approach to nutrients can anyone offer any advice?

personally im not convinced you need to be that detailed tbh... the following is what I have used so far...
Veg:
GH Calimagic
GH Flora Nova Grow 1 part

Flower:
GH Calimagic
GH Flora Nova Bloom 1 part

i have just built the strength up slowly when it has looked like the plants can take it ...during the 2 week transiton to flower I went hi-tech and used 1/2 of each :shock:

Fantastic thread. Loads of useful detail. Nice photos. I'm looking forward to seeing how productive the grow end up being. Best of luck, you're clearly putting plenty of energy into it, so I hope you're rewarded for that.

Than you HC. It looks like it could be good so fingers crossed

The nute thing is because of the optimum spectral range the LED uses. Most important is the calmAg. Use all the way through as @WazzaX States. Just build up the strength slowly and you'll be fine. If you have any issues or ideas just ask and we will do our best. Welcome to the marshydro community

Thanks guys I've already started with the calmag 0.3 ml per litre it's day 4 under the led and I'm already pretty impressed and so is the little lady she is really loving the light :) before she went in there she was kept in poor conditions because I didn't think I was going to keep her and I really didn't think the light would arrive so fast. her first leave is a little damaged from stress and started to curl down I think it was the cold that got to her but she's already recovering and growing new leaves very quickly :)

You'll notice how aggressively it will veg. They are impressive units.

Hi guys been an avid reader of this thread for a while and you guys have convinced me to start a new LED side project with a Mars hydro 150w reflector and a spare seedling of purple Alaskan ice x super silver haze :) im in the middle of a boom cycle and about to start off a fresh batch of seeds in my prop so didn't have anywhere to keep an extra young seedling in my usual setup so I thought fuck it Lets try something new she's just gone straight out the propagator at 3" tall (very very small I know but there was nowhere else for her to go) and under the marshydro 150w reflector I'm using hydrococo 60/40 for the media At the min she's only being fed natural spring water with a ph of 6.5 I'm usually a 100% organic soil grower so I'm pretty new to using nutes and I hear growing with LEDs can require quite a detailed approach to nutrients can anyone offer any advice? I'm thinking of using botanicare kindgrow/bloom base nutrients and calmag pro

Looks like I may have a couple more baby's to veg under the MHGL I had 5 assorted haze seeds amnesia, Armageddon and G13 left over from a while ago all thrown in the same jar so I have no idea which is which so I put them in water over night by morning they had all started to open :) hopefully I can catch two of them up and bloom them at the same time as my other seedling and just throw away the weakest 3 if all 5 take

awesome. I just got some pineapple chunk, sleestack. LSD and super silver haze seeds. No need to pop them yet though as I want to get some clones of an incredible bulk plant I'm growing. Keep us updated and throw some pics on

Good things are happening in the room now. The plants have reacted well to the PK and are starting to swell. Also now need to get an Ona block as they are starting to smell beautifully. The pineapple chuck are really perfumed but it smells amazing. I'll get some pics up ASAP.

I've noticed a slight reddening to the stems on the Alaskan x silver seedling so I've started with the nutrients on her as well as giving her calmag throughout both stages I'll be giving her

Botanicare pure blend pro grow 3-2-4

And for the bloom stage

Botanicare pure blend pro bloom 2-3-5
I was also given 4 bottles of
Botanicare hydroplex 0-10-6 for free by my hydro guy :)

I planted the 5 assorted haze seeds yesterday in gold label hydrococo 60/40 and one is already sprouted right up out the coco and showing signs of it's first leaves but no visible action happening with the other 4 yet
