Using ANs seni two part and hobbyist level nutes.

[kennyp02]

Can someone give me the breakdown on the mixing and application of Sensi A + B two part, Big bud, Voodoo juice, Overdrive, and b-52. I just bought the package and am trying to figure out the nutrient calculator.
Please, any advice is helpfull

do you have a pH/ppm meter?

im ordering one along with the nutes. but dont know how to test, pretty sure you test the water first and test the ppm of your mixture and add to make your total, right?

if you are using tap water then let it sit out over night. this helps burn off the chlorine in the water which is bad for plants. then mix your nutrients in the water till you get to the desired ppm level you want. then let it sit for an hour and test the pH. then adjust the pH.

are you soil or hydro?

No Actually you add you nutes to the water then adjust the ppm by adding more nutes or more water to get to the ppm you require. Do a 20L test batch and record you findings. Add a little test record, add, test record and so on. You will come up with different feeding schedules then in the future you can use them as reference points.

Hope that helps

alright, soil.
do you know the ppm ranges from the various stages?

depends a lot on strain. different strains will like different levels of nutes. best to start light and build on to that every grow. keep a record of what you feed that strain every watering/week. then, if you doon't get any burn in that week you should try to up the ppm a little the next time you grow that strain. after 2-3 harvests you will know the limits of that strain.

easy way to start is with 300ppm in veg and add 100ppm every 10 days. max out at 600ppm. then in flower start at the same ppm level you ended veg with. then add 100ppm every 10 days and max out at 1000ppm. keep an eye on your plants for deficiencies or nutrient burns.

Thanks, so i just mix the nutes in order just like the nute calc says, but make sure my ppm is avg?

the percentages on the calculator are good. their measurements are way off. you will need to start at about half what they recommend for a certain ppm. maybe even less. you'll get the hang of it after a few tries.

 

[kennyp02]

So go about half or less of what they say?

they say to mix "x" amount of part A and part B and "y" amount of the additves to get the ppm they have listed. i would say in general you mix 50% of their recommend measurements to get the ppm they have listed. follow their proportions per week, not their measurements or ppm levels though.

i use an GMB and i can tell u that there calc isnt correct on ppm levels but ur plants will seem to be able to take high ppm than normal with there nutes. i start at about 200 ppms then build up the first couple weeks 100ppms each time as they get bigger u can jump 150 ppms till u see slight nute burn then just back down 100ppm. do the same in flower work up about 550 ppms higher than your veg ppm or to where u see burn by week 4-6 strain dependant then start dropping down 100-200 ppm strain dependant till ur final flush. btw i dont usually go over half strength on any additives unless u know ur plant.
