Growing in ffof under a scorpion Diablo, maxi bloom or tiger bloom

[NICK72690]

Alright just like the title says I’m heading to the store and need a budget friendly bloom nute, I actually have used both of these however under different conditions different water etc, always seemed to have ph issues with maxi bloom , but still had amazing results regardless, however I haven’t used tiger bloom in years and never used it with these amazing strains I have now, thoughts!?

What kind of ph issues did you have? I use maxibloom extensively. It requires a bit of ph down in my tap water but it's a very good comprehensive nutrient for flower.

1tsp brought me down into the 4 range! So I had the opposite effect, however the bag was very old don’t know if that had something to do with it, I use tap water it comes out at 50 ppm and I do add cal mag most of the time

That is amazing tap water! Mine is around 280 ppm. I use 1 ml per gallon to drop from 7.2 to 5.8 using AN ph down which is pretty strong. Base water really makes a difference.

I just wish I could add a tsp without going so low in ph some ppl get perfect ph with no up or down needed, I am leaning towards maxi bloom, but I am nervous because for the first time ever my plants are green in flower under this led, crazy cal mag problems lol

You have a new led light? Got a picture of your plants?

It’s not new had for about a year but just getting used to it, vpd, cal mag issues just a learning curve, my bud always come out amazing even with problematic grows, yes I have lights on soon I will upload pic! It’s crowded in there lol

In RO water, 2 ml of Armor SI brings the ph up to around 5.8 with 5g Maxi and 3 ml GH calmag. In flower I dropped the SI and use something like 8-12 oz of my 650 ppm tap to bring up the ph. Calmag is need with RO, I use 3ml/gallon.

When running Jacks 321 in RO my ph is around 5.8 or a little higher.

about day 14 into flower

Have a slight n tox on one flank from going way to heavy on everything so actually for now they will all just get plain tap and maybe a foilar of cal mag, how ever I don’t know if it was the cal mag that caused the n toxicity in the first place but I will say the cal mag is what seems to be keeping them green, they realllly want the stuff, at this point in the grow I’m used to seeing rust spots and all that

Too expensive and overrated. You're paying for water.
Dry nutes are the way to go.
GH flora pro is pretty good.
I use floraflex, but I'd never run in fox farms soil regardless. That's just my opinion
