Going to start my first indoor and first time using coco coir/perlite mix also, I have come across many different types of nutrients and am wondering which should I go with.
Masterblend 4-18-38 Here’s my coco feed schedule Masterblend feeding schedule Magnesium sulfate Calcium Nitrate And Masterblend 4-18-38 base I love to be able to manipulate these throughout the grow. For instance I’ll go Early veg per 5 gallons 3g magnesium sulfate 6g Calcium Nitrate 6g Masterblend base 12 ml silica 12 ml hydroguard Late veg per 5 gallons 5g magnesium sulfate 10g Calcium Nitrate 10g Masterblend base 12 ml silica 12ml hydroguard For early flowering (week 3) per 5 gallons 8g magnesium sulfate 2g calcium nitrate 8g Masterblend base 1/2 dose Flower Fuel Mid flowering weeks 4-6 per 5 gallons 10g magnesium sulfate 1g Calcium Nitrate 10g Masterblend base Full Flower Fuel dose Week before flush 5g magnesium sulfate 5g Masterblend base 1/2 dose Flower Fuel flush for a week or so or until ppms come out under 200 Masterblend is $30 on amazon for 12.5 lbs. I still have enough for all next year Flower Fuel is like $20 and will last a whole cycle silica and hydroguard are cheap. It’s all affordable Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Upto you mate. Personally I use growth technology. 1 part veg 1 part bloom Pk booster Scillica Calmag if you need it. Perfect grow every time With only 4 or 5 bottles. cheap, easy to use, very effective at low strength so it lasts plenty. Same goes for the canna range. Cheap, easy and effective. Don’t buy into all the snake oils. All you need is base nutes and a pk booster. Calmag if there’s not enough in your water or nutes already and scillica if you plan to do a lot of training as it makes them flexible so you don’t snap em in the process. The rest of it doesn’t really make much difference to many things though. Certainly none of it is essential.
Thanks. Any feeding schedule with those products, or any threads with feeding schedules that I can use to get a better idea.
Don’t use schedules mate, just wing it, it’s easy. In a nutshell. Bottoms go yellow you up the veg nutes Mids lose colour or go blotchy they need calmag. Tops go yellow they need iron which can be found in “calmag+“ or bottles of micro boost. Every plant is a little different and your own habits, lights and set up will play a massive part in how much they feed. If there’s doses on the bottle just start at quarter strength. If the bottoms go yellow go upto half strength. not much to it really. Just keep shit simple and it generally goes pretty well.
Once they’re rooted up seedlings it’s pretty hard to go wrong with 400-500ppm or 1ec mate. Can generally do the full veg with that. Then if your plants are a bit bigger than average and starting to get hungry go upto about 800ppm for bloom. S2c knows his shit so that particular schedule will be good but the majority of recommendations from companies are waaay too high.
Even at peak flower, since I feed 2-3 times a day, I’m only at about 600-700 ppm. Sometimes lower. I like to see a little burn at the top, then back it off just a touch so you know you’re maxing out the feeds. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I’m the same mate. My coco plants are only 4-5oz each so don’t need much at all. Usually just do 500 all the way. My res ones need as high as 1400 if they get massive though. That’s a pain in the ass but I don’t do many of them anyway.
