I use the gh stuff and was wondering if you drain your system when you add the bloom or add bloom to the grow already in your tank?i use this gh and for grow i start out at 1100 ppm for the first week or 2 then in 3 and 4 up to 1600ppm and in flowering started at 1100 and by the 6 and 7th week i up to 2000-2100 ppm and it is in recirc dwc

@ bongspit, yes you do!
drain and start with fresh water when i switch then again this time i did not just to see what would happen and i started slow and worked up seems ok 5 weeks into flowering and it looks great never changed water at all maybe luck but i will see next time as i will do this again.
i would not guess at that without a ppm meter but if you are using 20 gallons of water follow the directions on the bottles but only mix it for like 16 or 18 gallons to be safe till your ppm shows up

There are some folks here that change water all the time and I do not understand that ...why would change water unless you had a serious problem?

I'm reviving a dead thread... got a problem with it??? haha.
how do you pH with these nutes? i have the GH test kit, drops/test vial, i do not plan to purchase the fancy test pen, i grow for personal use, and the defeats my low cost attempt/purpose... long story short.. how does it effect pH of the water? if i pH before hand and i like what i see, can i assume the Nova doesn't effect it too much? anybody know anything? no rush... starting grow when seeds get here (should be a week)
PLEASE SOMEONE CHECK THIS AGAIN!! haha

I was kinda wondering the same thing. the standard is to test the ph after you mix the nutes with water but the nova is a type of organic and changes the color.

bump bump bump!! lets get this answered!!
does any know or have info on pH'ing the floranova without a test pen... using the drop test method?!
maybe its organic nature doesnt affect pH??
BUMP!

30 you say? how do i search for it on ebay?
also i heard about these pH buffers, does that mean instead of throwing your pH by 2 or 3, it does so by 1 (for example)?
im wondering if i could just wing it... but i dont really want to wing it on purchased seeds (been bagseed growing till my AG grow... link in sig)

I just go by the feeding schedule online and I use it for veg along with 1 ml of floralicious plus per gallon and it works great... Just go by the feeding chart schedule... Start 1/4 strenght at first and work ur way up.. But chart is right on

try searching "ph checker", there is a red Hanna one for about $30, I know it's a decent one because it's the same I'm using at the moment. Fairly fast & accurate.

my question to FN users is do your roots ever turn dark brown from the fert , I have a freind who uses it and get absurd results but ever time I use them I get like clogging,or like Ive noticed thick chucks on root and then they die from being covered in goo

you need to make sure the nutes are mixed well in water before you add it to your res. I was advised to mix it then run it through a strainer to make sure that it is properly dissolved. hope that helps.

premix it in a glass of water and just pour it through a screen/strainer.
