Nutrients ?

General hydro is good to start with but then u gotta get a ph pen if u don't have one I'd say advanced sensi grow it's ph perfect so u don't have to worry about ph as much

 

Yeah I like advanced iv tried almost all of the nutes out at least once in the past 5 years but I always come back to advance nutes. They might be on the high end of cost but the results are always amazing and u don't have to use their whole line I don't lol

 

Sensi is a good base nute to start with then u can add things like bud candy and big bud and u will get fat healthy harvest

 

What kind of medium do u plan to run?

 

If you're in aus look into Cyco

 

Yeah but cyco is not ph perfect js so u gotta check ur ph often

 

Don't get me wrong I have used cyco good nutes but I still prefer advanced

 

Is advanced hard to get I'm aus?

 

OK sounds good bro just buy the sensi base nutes grow a+b and bloom a+b and start with that and as far as soil/coco go's try to find something that has no nutes and if it's straight coco coir add perlite to it and was the coco very very well

 

For sure bro can't wait either

 

Lot of these companies will actually send you a decent sample pack for free, house and garden , nectar for the gods, age old organic, recharge, great white, just to name a few ,
Any good line geared towards cannabis should do ya fine,

I Shit you not - Check out Black Flower Nutrients man - Whether you grow in Coco, Soil or Hydro there is 3 lines
Blackflower -Terra A+B
Blackflower - Aqua A+B
Blackflower - COCO - A+B

I'm doing a small grow with them now to test them out here is my veg tent under 600W LED (450 TRUE)
I am on week 5 from seed. These have been topped and bent and broken repeatedly. Literally just followed the instructions on the bottle, upped it until I got my first sign of burn on the newest tips - scaled back. I feed em at about 900PPM 1.8EC

 

Without getting into too much detail and going on a long ass explanation, it's nutrient strength. 2 Things you should have when mixing nutrients are a PH Meter and a TDS meter. PH we will leave for another time if you don't have a rough understanding of that.

Generally speaking in veg a safe PPM to have in your nutrient solution is about 500 ppm for small plants - you can play with it and will play with it as you become more experienced - some strains are fragile and they may show nutrient burn at 500ppm - back it down next feed to 400ppm and so on. Some strains a pigs and will eat 900ppm in veg. All depends on the strain so heres and example of how TDS plays a role.

Plants for this example are 2 weeks old. (older they get the more nutes they can take)

Using 1 gallon of Reverse osmosis water you put 3ML of your nutrient solution into your water as per the label. You dip your tds meter in and it reads 600ppm. Comfortable zone you should be Fine feeding your plants with it as long as the PH of your feed is good.

OR

Using 1 gallon of tap water you put the same 3 ml of your nutrient solution into the water and you dip in your TDS meter. It reads 900ppm. That's a little strong for your 2 week old plants, you feed it anyway and they get nutrient burn on the leaves. Thats because your water already had 300 PPM of nutrients dissolved in it from nature and your nutrient company doesn't know what you have in your water so they base their feed off Reverse osmosis water or something with a lower ppm.

If you don't have a TDS meter how will you ever know this? Plus if you feed and down the road and want to try a stronger mix you can monitor your PPM and figure out what your strain is capable of handling.

Also EC Electrical Conductivity in a solution or soil - it's how a TDS meter gets its ppm reading. True TDS meters are super expensive so these EC meters take the number they get and multiply it by 500 , 600 or 700 (Most are 500) to get a fairly accurate PPM. Its a formula we wont get into. So for my meter If I have a ppm of 900 I divide by 500 and get (1.8 EC)

Thats the best I can do at 12:45 AM hope it helps a bit ! lol
