Hellraizer- I highly recommend White Widow, as well.. It grows HUGE in the ebb and gro...

kofseattle- Here is a recipe for GH Flora Series that will provide insane results (it is a slightly modified version of their weekly regimen)

Veg -
week 1 5-2.5-2.5-400/600
week 2 10-5-3- 600/800
week 3 12-6-3 800/1000 (continue week 3 formula if additional veg time is required.)

Bloom
week 1 6-6-10- 800/1200
week 2 3-7-12 - 1000/1400
week 3 3-8-14 - 1000/1400
week 4 3-8-16 - 1000/1400
week 5 3-8-16 - 1000/1400
week 6 (discussed in detail below*)
week 7 0-7-20 - 1000/1400
week 8 0-6-20
week 9 and 10 - plain ph'd water

* During week 6 if not using a booster like Superbud, Bushmaster Kabloom etc. run 2.5-7-18. I use MOAB (Mother of All Blooms) or BushMaster at 50% of recommended strength, and use 1.25-3.5-9 for the fert base.

mL per gallon -- my favorite combo of Euro and America!
Yes, that is correct.
I personally use Kool Bloom powder, but only because I have some on hand.
I will be switching to MOAB mother of all blooms when I run out of KB.
Keep the reservoir cool and aerated... Cool actually = aerated because cool water holds more oxygen... Bad bacteria like anaerobic conditions, ie. warm and low oxygen. When the tank gets warm, you invite that stuff..

I don't do Lucas formula.. This is a badass and easy way to use GH with no additives except a bloom booster.. It is easy and stable.



grow, micro, bloom, ppm range. Example - 5-2.5-2.5-400/800 would mean 5 ml grow, 2.5 ml micro, 2.5 ml bloom and a ppm of 400-880. Remember it's per gallon.
The ppms work out almost exactly. I tend to lean toward the lower side of the range, unless I have a really heavy feeder that I know can handle it.

What is your source water?
I suggest using the hardwater micro in place of the regular micro if your tap water is over 200 ppm total or you have over 70 ppm Ca. RO water users should use the regular micro.

Also, don't fool with pH right away. You have to allow time for the ph buffers in the nutrient solution to do their job. Mix the nutes up, and bubble or circulate for 12 hours before adjusting PH.

Oh, and if you use R/O you should add a calmag to the water after you clean it out...
GH just released a new calmag.
If I had to buy some, I would use cutting edge solutions cal and mag supplements. They are separate, but are sweet because they are naturally chelated and are badass..

i disagree i think your PPM is too high. also there is no need to flush for 2 weeks

If you look closely the PPMs are in a RANGE...
Regular plants need the lower range; the higher end is for heavy feeders..

As for the two week flush for a 10 week strain - it is a bit much.. I usually do a light nute mix for flushing instead of the plain water.. This is a recipe from a buddy who is a bit overboard with the flush...

I've got '97 bubblegum.. huge huge in these systems...

maybe you can find a clone of this? Or maybe these new bubblegum seeds are as good? But I doubt that...

what is the application rate of CalMag? It has soil on the back but not what the suggested use for Hydro is? I have the Botanicare brand calmag.

Welllllll, let me recall..... I spoke with GH on the phone... They say to add some calmag, maybe up to 50ppm calcium... You don't want to go past that.. So basically you are adding some of what you just took out with your R/O system.

You can take your R/O water, add the calmag, and then mix up the Flora series.. Remember to put the micro first always, and then the other ones in whichever order.

also, the pH will change over a day as the buffers in the GH work... Don't adjust for a day...

Remember to have lots of airstones and keep the rez cool.
