bertie bot

[QUOTE=RRLBT420;4757795]your roots are going to touch the solution whether you want them to or not, so don't worry. i actually mix up a cocktail of all my botanicare nutes, so that i can measure them all at once instead of from 4 different containers.

VEG:

250ml Cal-Mag Plus
175ml Liquid Karma
540ml Pure Blend Pro Grow

clean out an old milk jug and add the above ingredients. then add enough water to fill the jug. for young plants (fresh transplants), i add 1oz. of the cocktail per gallon (~300-350 ppm), and adjust to 5.8 ph. during week 2 add 2 oz. per gallon (~650-700 ppm) and again ph to 5.8

BLOOM:

250ml Cal-Mag Plus
180ml Liquid Karma
250ml Sweet (raw, though there's also berry, citrus and grape available)
550ml Pure Blend Pro Bloom (hydro/coco formula)

mix in the same fashion as for veg. add at a rate of 1 oz per gallon (~350-400 ppm) week one, 2 oz per gal. week 2 (~750-800 ppm), and unless you're using DWC then i take mine up to 3 oz. per gallon (1100-1200 ppm) from week 3 till it's time to flush. at the beginning of week 5, i add Sugar Daddy by Technaflora, at the rate of 2 tsp. per gallon and use this till flush as well, though i wouldn't recommend carbs in the aero system if you plan to flower in it.

keep in mind that i also use CO2 and have 1000w lamps, so you may need to play around your ppm a little, but the mix can stay the same. these numbers are also for r/o water, which i do recommend that or the runoff from a dehumidifier.[/QUOTE]
