A 0-5-2 will NOT support leaves. Now, if your blending foods (the game GH and the rest play to increase profits rather than selling one complete fertilizer product) then you should know the total NPK ratios of what the plants are seeing.
I checked it after I add the filtered water and then adjusted the ph to 6.
UB my total NPK is 7-6-10 a whole lot lower than the stuff you use. You recommend that before I grow again I should reserch the most important side of growing. I admitt that I spent more time reading about l grow room design, systems lights and humidity and ventalation then on nutes. I played it safe and went with what I seen advertised in the sites and mags. Feel free or do me a favor and drop any link you think will help, the last one was great but if you have more then it would be greatly appreciated.
What a rip. I pay $18 for 25 lbs. of a 20-10-20 with micros delivered to my door, all contained in one bag. What's with this 5 bottle crap?
Your source for info is the problem.
"New generation" of just another snake oil. They're a dime a dozen. It's all about the money.
I know all about "the Lucas method". I and some others at a forum called ADPC was the one that taught "Lucas" everything he knows about plant culture about 14 years ago. Back then he went by the handle of "newbie", I went by the handle of "Kip". A hydro guy by the name of pH was his mentor and had quite a following at this cannabis growing bulletin board, the precursor to today's Vbulletin coded cannabis forums.
NEVER use superthrive during the trans or flowering stages. Prolongs full maturity forever! Can acutally add weeks to the flower cycle thus bettering the chance of salt buildups and nute issues. Superthrive is great for seedlings and transplant during veg, but thats it.
I can't agree more.Uncle Ben said:

I do the same, by feel, looks, and smell. I don't split hairs. Biggest expense is commercial potting soil and stuff I use to bulk up the total mix or change the final soil structure, like vermiculite and perlite.
0 nitrogen because it one part of a three part nutrient program. The ole 3-2-1 during veg. Then 1-2-3 during flower. Grow, Micro, Bloom each repectively.
Superthrive contains Indolebutric acid (sp), a synthetic hormone, and Vitamin B1. It works (some say it doesn't) by synthetically inducing cell division and elongation and is often used as a root stimulator. I know of no scientific basis of it affecting the flowering response which is driven by a hormone called phytochrome.
As far as that goes. Good soil to start. FF Tigerbloom, dolomite and greensand. I have grown some very nice buds with just these 4 things. Cant forget rain water. Sometimes less is truely more. We far too often try to out think our plants instead of just paying attention too them.
