I already know to start at 1/4 strength recmmended dosage of nutes but on the bottle it says 1/4tsp/gallon for seedlings and 1 tsp/ gallon when they are older so the seedling dosage is 1/4 strength of the full strength dosage they get later on. Does that mean you just follow the bottle exactly or do you start at 1/4 of the 1/4tsp reccomendation. (which would mean you start them off at 1/16tsp/gallon for seedlings) Thanks guys, not sure about this one since the 1/4tsp/gallon seems like so little but I dont want to burn them and I dont have any experience with this product.

mix a gallon of regular strength stuff in gallon jug A. Pour half of it into anothergallon jug b. Pour half of gallon jug B into gallon jug C. Now fill all 3 with water to the top. you have two gallons of 1/4 strength, and one gallon of half strength.

still didnt answer my question bro :) "regular strength" for seedlings is not the "regular strength" for the veg process. Mix 1/4tsp/gallon in jug A? Or 1tsp/gallon in jug A?

dood. you mix it at full strength. and then water it down to 1/4 strength. If you HAVE to mix it by the gallon at 1/4 strength switch to ml for measurement instead of tsp.

PLEASE stop saying "full strength". either 1tsp/gallon or 1/4tsp/gallon these are the two levels that are on the side of the bottle. My ENTIRE question is when your saying "full strength" what the hell are you talking about? 1tsp/gallon or 1/4tsp/gallon? 1/4tsp/gallon is the FULL reccomended dosage for seedlings and 1tsp/gallon is the FULL dosage for veg cycle. one of those is 1/4 the amount of the other one which is causing the confusion. It looks like their seedling dosages are ALREADY 1/4 full strength. Im asking if I just follow the bottle exactly or start at 1/4 the SEEDLING dosage; which would be 1/16tsp/gallon

I start at 1/4 tsp per gal for transplanted seedlings and cuttings. I move to 1 tsp per gal after I see a little new growth (usually < 1 week).

thanks a lot. Thats very good to know someone follows their directions with success. Ive read soooo many people saying GHs feeding schedule and 1:1:1 ratio burned their plants. You dont have nute burn issues?

I never did the 1/4 tsp thing when I had seedlings. Maybe that's why some of my plants never did to great at that stage but did awesome after about 6''-7''s of growth afterwards.

First off 1/4tsp all the way through for a week or so. After they get their fourth set of leafs, you can just bump it to 3 2 1 veg. OR 1 2 3 flower regiment. No need for the transition bull shit, just make sure you are flushing in between veg and flower and after flower with distilled h20. Its actually faster and better to skip the 1-1-1 junk.

get on the gh website and use their nute calculator. Use it at it says exactly and yu will see what i mean. It is an auto program that lets you fill out res size and water type and it tells you nute levels. Also ppm levels. I love it. I am always right on or a cup of water off when it comes to ppm levels. My plants love it.

not at that level but I do not use their full strength feeding schedule. I try not to get above 1200ppm for flowering. Works well for me.

how high you get your ppm depends a lot on the strand, but 1200 for flower seems a little low.

Dude many, many men in positions of control/power only date and marry women over 18 year olds because younger girls would put them in prison in most first world nations. Do you think those guys "vacation" in third world countries where they or anyone with a $100 or so can even buy children of either sex or "vacation" in countries where child prostition of both sexes is common for any reason but to feed their sick desires. Career Politicians, cops, lawyers, judges and corporate heads are pretty much all power/control freaks and the sickest form of power/control is sexual domination of a child. These same people are the ones that insist that drug users be locked away as moral degenerates. I imagine Bill Gates who has no ethics when it comes to making money gives hugh campaign contributions to politicians who support the war on crime.

I've always used either lucas formula or 1-1-1 ratio. As for the question on dosing...can we talk in terms of PPM? Dont always mix nutrients on manufacture directions. How big are the plants? If they are little seedlings with one set of leaves I wouldnt give them anything unless they look deficient. Start at 150-200 PPM when you do start feeding tho. Also, its not the ratio that would cause burn, just adding to much overall nutrient...BTW AN has a better 3 part

The chance that you would see any noticable yield or potency content using AN over Gh is megligible. the cahnce that you will see any major difference in Ph cahnges daily is minimal. Once mis xed as directed by both the end concentartions are almost identical.

AN
NPK,Ca Bloom 0-5-4-O, Micro 4-0-0-5 Grow 2-1-6-0
GH
NPK,Ca Bloom O-5-4-1.5 Micro 5-0-1-5 Grow 2-1-6-1.5

GH is simply a little higher in Nitrogen and Potash.

That would hardly mean AN is a better choice. If anything AN is a poorer choice. When you consider what AN costs it is a much worse choice.
