does this sound like a good nute package?????? need input

ok so we are growing in a 12 site monster ebb an flo system, feeding 1x every 4 hours during lights on.

im running this swerve formula slightly modified

1part micro 1 part calmag, doing about 10 ml a gal on each of those
8 ml a gal of hygrozyme
great white benificials
de-chlorinated water

veging only with this recipe

problem being on my og's (reserva privada old school from 5-6 years ago) are finicky as hell, no my blue cheeses in the exact same set up love it fine, and do great , but the ogs always have little leaves and just dont seem to really blow up like they should, just look like they are mising something. any help would be great

Do you need the cal mag and the other bits. Try just feeding them a basic veg feed and see if that changes anything?
 
pretty sure i need it when running just the micro , but shit i was gonna try and just use a base grow for a week an see if that works better, but ive seen people including myself do well with this little recipe

Where is the main nute? That's all additives.
This is what I mean. You should just stick with a veg nutrient. You could even use it all the way through. You won't need cal mag unless your water is soft and low on those elements and I wouldn't bother with loads of additives. If they are healthy on just basic nutrients then they don't need anything else. That's just what I think anyway.
 
well alledgedly it gets all the nitrogen it needs from the micro, is the theroy behind it, and keep in mind this is for og only
Where did you hear this "allegedly" from? That sounds like something a salesman would say. That is total nonsense. Don't starve your plants. I don't see a Silica on your list. It seems like so many folks want to find ways to grow with the minimum amount of nutes or find some wonder combination that nobody thought of. Don't fall for that train of thought. Give your plants what they need and then some and they will respond accordingly. Genetics will dictate just how much your plants can take but just don't start them off on a Jenny Craig program cause you could do harm to them down the line and possible stunt their overall growth.
 
trust me guys im not looking to find the cheap wayout, like stated before this is the most finicky strain in the world and ive been growing it for years , so i was folowwing swerves approach to growing og, he is from cali connect, so do u all thinnk i need to run calmag then if i run the proper gro/micro/bloom ratios?also what will be my benifets of adding silicas ? ive read a few different things on them but have never used them.

Each growers outcome is different from another. You need to learn whats best for your plants and how to grow them. Something that has worked for this grower you're on about might work for him but not you.
