hey everyone i got a quick question about gh nutes....ive read my instructions in great detail...my when in veg 3 teaspoons of grow 2 micro 1 bloom very easy....

now in in bloom its 1 grow 2 micro and 3bloom, so if i have to get a high ppm lets say i start with 10 tsp of grow and that would make 20tsp of micro then 30 tsp of bloom to get a high reading. now if anyone knows anything about gh let me know if thats right i hope it is.....

but now to my problem is that useing say 10-20 tsp of micro is turning my rez a little purpelish cause of the dark color it has and now also it darkens my roots.....is this natural? is this right to see? the roots dont have rot i know its the micro.

also my ph is perfect im running an aero system so im not trying to see if i have a root problem i know its the micro i ust wanna know if this is normal.....

any info would be great....thnx alot...

I don't follow the amounts on the bottle - way too high ppm's for my taste. I use the 1:1:1 ratio for veg and the 1:2:3 ratio for flower. I start at about 100 ppm's for new seedlings and increase by 100 each week until I max out at around 900 ppm's. The micro will turn the water a brownish color and also discolor the roots a bit but if the roots are slimy and brown - you have a problem. Hope that's helpful.

To your first question, yes.


Do you have a PPM meter?

yes i have a ppm meter and no my roots arent slimy ust a dark micro purple......im not wworried about root rot im just wondering if im feeding them right and this discoloration is normal????

yes the discoloration is normal. The only roots i have ever seen that are bleached white are in week 2-3 flower tops and grower is using high % peroxide.

if you are worried about overfeeding them keep checking your ppm meter. That is what the other dick was trying 2 point out however he never actually said anything useful.

If the ppm drops significantly you know your not burning them. If the leaf tips become burnt and ppm's rise or stay the same you may need 2 adjust.

ill google it this week and check it out.....its applies to general hydropnic nutes or any nutes?

Density has more to do with light then nutes. Get ytour light as close as you can with out burning. Andmake sure you don't burn your plants with nutes. I have burn issues every time I use the "Full" strength as recommended by GH.
