FWIW be careful with that Buddhas Tree stuff if you're mixing it with any Vitalink product. For whatever reason they don't like each other and you get massive PH fluctuations (certainly in hydro). I even contacted Buddhas Tree to ask them about this and they denied any knowledge, but then a friend of mine said to just switch to Vitalink Buddy and the problem ceased overnight.

Either Vitalink doesn't like to be mixed with other brands, or Buddhas Tree doesn't like Vitalink....either way best to avoid the combination in my experience.

I'm always dubious about making my own nutes....hardly seems worth the risk for my size setup. The nutes i use are fairly inexpensive.

I used it in my last run with Vitalink hydro max a+b with no bother. That was in NFT so I always keep my ph in range. I even correct it when I don't fill the res and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
I think it's a decent product. It's not that cheap to buy but when you look at the dilution rate it works out a lot cheaper than a lot of the bigger brands.

Only other variables were the Potsil and the phosphoric acid as that's all i use, so maybe it was those it didn't like. I'd drop from 5.8 to 4.5 regularly with Buddhas Tree, and as i said, when i shifted to buddy the problem disappeared. Maybe something else was going on...who knows.

A bit annoying as i have about 800ml of the stuff left, and although i agree it goes a long way it was expensive to buy!

TBH they look like shit at the moment but that's only been for the past week/10 days whilst i've been reducing the EC down from 1.2 to 0.8. I did notice a bit of N toxicity late in flower, but since reducing the nutes some of the leaves look like they are about ready to fall off! It seems like the plant is eating itself or something....anyway, the buds all seem happy so i'm not too worried....i think :/
