  1. Hey growers. As the title says I’m looking for Which flora series ratio is used in %100 perlite hempys? I’ve used the 6/9 in my last grow in coco/perlite. But now I’m just growing (flowering) in perlite hempys. Australia has ran out of maxibloom so I’ve had to change back to flora for the last few weeks I’m almost in week 8 flowering.

    8/16

    or

    6/9

    thanks
     
  2. 8/16.....or a 1:2 ratio.

  3. Righto thanks for the reply mick. So basically plants might not take the full dose 8/16 so I could use 4/8 or 5/10 as long as it’s double bloom to micro?

    so would the full 8/16 would that be 7g per gal if I was using maxibloom?

  4. Correct.....no need for full strength if it's not necessary.

    I don't know if 8/16 of the Flora equals 7g of maxibloom.......I don't own a ppm meter.

  5. Even if their PPM readings aren't identical, 7g Maxibloom in 1 gal is said to be "very similar in effect" to using 8/16 of Micro/Bloom flora series in 1 gal..
