Another good one (2Cent) Easy to use and proven. I yielded alot too with AN my only thing..


Whatever you do end up going with please for the love of god take my advice. Start using a ph pen and ppm pen.

Not only to make sure, verify and get used to one, but build a mental library of ppms and plant stages.

I know theirs pH buffers and i guess strength is not cared about... but .. Its always good to know. sometimes you NEED to know.

And when you do have isssues you dont want your thumb up your ass wondering how coco run off works to solve a deficiency or check the pH of your plain water...

Like.. you need them. Period.

I also read that pH should be done prior to adding nutes. But that could be horse shit.

Anyway. your gonna need to ph shit every day. And ppm your seedling mixes.

Which on that note WTF this year my tap water is like 5.3pH... I need ph up this year compared to an easy 6.1pH last year.....

Resinhounds method is a tried and true method for beginners. Maybe thats better. Its 1 part I think and not very strong. And cal mag never hurt a plant
Wait a minute now,dynagro is a 1 part,its a good quality complete nutrient in a ratio 3-1-2 that cannabis happens to like. When I say high quality I mean not watered down like most "cannabis nutes" are.Its very concentrated and a small bottle will last you a while.Its exceedingly cheap when looked at in this light.

However,because its NOT watered down you cant just toss capfuls in your water...I highly suggest monitoring your feeding program with an ec meter and some way to check ph. Outside of a full organic grow,theres just too many uses for these tools in the growroom,not to have them really.

Id stick with the manufacturer directions of .25 tsp per gallon,but I highly recommend a ppm or ec meter so you can properly monitor your feeds as the grow progresses and your plants needs change. .4-.6 ec is a good starting place for me,ill add ec as the grow progresses. My water is not ro,but might as well be at .1ec,as such ill add .2ec cal/mag only if I see issues in veg and through first couple weeks of flower in coco. Dont need any boosters really or other nonsence.

They all work just go 1.4 to half strength. with whatever but don't be fooled by price. I used jungle juice and yielded mad.

I find the best yield and growing tactics are knowledge. Not being over bearing on your plant like an attached gf. Knowing your strains because they really have a life of their own and some dont like to be molested. Some like it hard. . . Like knowing when to stimulate the roots with my favorite... H&G excelurator...., when to run completely dry cycles, how to measure run off and correct. super stable grow room temps and rh. Prepping for flowering. And running from seed to harvest without a hitch helps. Problems in flower suck.

Take some snappys man of what yo got setup. What are you doing. What style

all i can say is read http://www.advancednutrients.com/products/ph-perfect-sensi-grow-parts-a-b/

my friend followed a feeding guide, thinking he was mixing in 5l when the guy added to 10l water, so he doubled the feed line and had no problems he had good runoff which tookcare of salt buildups i guess but 4weeks and nothing bad,

advanced its hard to do wrong, with any need i never go above 1.4 evern with monsters its overkil i seen ppl run ec 2.5 like wtf

but nah i grew for over 10 years with ph and ec pens, i knwo my plants now i read them they tell me when they are hungry, visaversa

but with advanced ive thrown my pens away. its pointless tbh no point atall, once you hit 4lper litre u stay there u dont go over,

keep it simple :D

all growers here are experienced tho and all points are valid and good killer advice,
everyone has there method they liek and are entitled to it,

everyone i recomend thislien to though hasnt had a problem and grew killer weed withy no problems :) its a good company email them and ask them anythign they wil reply fast
heres what they said to me when i quizzed them :P cut soem bits with my questions and emails but self explanitary






''The way that the pHPerfect system works is that your pH range are opened wide up due to the additives we added to the base nutrient is good between 4.0 and 8.0. So do not touch the pH levels no matter what medium you are using.if you adjust it the pH up or down

it will fluctuate all the time, so let it do its own thing and just feed to the plants. If you have any concerns please call our Growers Support line and have a one on one with our growers support Team at 800-640-9605

Regards

Growers support''
'pH is only one of the factors that control the mechanism by which the plants uptake nutrients, the components of the pHperfect formula include Humic and Fulvic acids, they act as chelators, they also contain amino acids which are also important in nutrient uptake control and Wet Betty (an organic wetting agent, together they create an environment that broadens the pH range within which the plants uptake nutrients, so adjusting pH is not that important''

heyhey do you advice flush before swapping from veg nutes to flower nutes? (ph perfect coco)

In coco there is no need,


You should be feeding every day with good runoff, so even though you are feeding all the time, excess salts are also being “flushed” away in a sense.''
