2/1/3 or 2/1/2, depending on what your plant likes better. Doesn't translate like that to ppm though.

I'm not familiar with your nute line either.

If you have barebones components, do 70ppm N, 30ppm P, 40ppm K, and 50ppm of calmag to start. You'll have to watch your plant and dial it in. Then you can just bump what you need to and keep it at the ratio it likes.
questino for you 3M - once you get into flower and your ppm's are through the roof (i'm at about 1100) how do you know what you're deficient on? My leaves are yellow and the centers of the leaves are brown and crinkly... but the girls are thickening like crazy - mixed analysis on this one

I don't think there's anything to worry about. It's likely the plant feeding the microbes. You can bump feed up to 200-250 and the rise should stop, unless you have a light leak.
This is why I told him to ask you. lol when my ppm rose and my PH Dropped I dropped my ppm and everything started feeding again. Why would bumping ppm stop the ppm raise?

I Just mixed my reservoir for transition and it was 1100 ppm

Can you post a different pic please? That file keeps kicking this iPod off.

100ppm or 1000ppm, it stays the same throughout. The reason we do the top off with fresh, is so if you see a deficiency, you know what to bump up when it bottoms out. Obviously you can bump before it bottoms out, but you'll know it needs higher ppm for what you're deficient in. Same with tox.

From what you are describing, it sounds like N or Mg.

Right now, if his plant is feeding the microbes, they are putting sugars back into the water. His ph is dropping because the plant has to swap H+ for nutrient uptake. Since his roots are now taking off, the plant is basically preloading for the hill it's about to climb in veg. In other words, growth spurt coming soon.

Man. I swear you’ve read a big book on this before and wish you’d link me to that damn book...... need a roommate? Lol. The things you and a coachable partner could do together. For real man. Your brain is smart with weed knowledge and I dig it a lot. Really really wanting to move to a legal state and do this big scale. Not overnight of course. But that book in your brain...... I need that book. Good stuff man.

Very nice.

Hope you plan on putting that in hydro...
Waiting until after this multi day vacation next week then it’s game on man. No more extended periods away for a few months that I foresee. I want to use a smaller bucket than 5 gallon though damnit. If my head is just fuckin wrong there please tell me so I don’t get a small bucket if it’s gay

Ahhhhhhhhhhh fuck that makes so much more sense now when you use potential hydrogen in the same sentence. Haha fuck that light bulb just went off.

Thanks. I guess it's like that with a lot of things for me. Not bragging, but that's exactly why I try to spread the knowledge around. I pick things up easily. There's always gonna be a time when I need help and I like to think that if I need it, I've done enough to earn it. I had a good teacher... pay it forward and such.

If I try a little harder every day, I’ll get better. So I’m going to try and start posting my flaws more and try and fix them. Every grow, my bottom leaves do this. Never totally kills the plant, so I don’t worry too much, but hey let’s address this.....

What’s up?

I’m using a 3.5 gallon bucket..... Tboneshuffle shuffle grew a tree in a 3gallon bucket..... it possibly especially if you prune roots... I’ve found that to be one of the better practices in hydro so far.... glad I took @3rd Monkey advice on it and did it because I’d have a stupid big root mass right now if I hadn’t.

I use 3 gallon. Always been big enough.
