this is my recipe that i had posted on another thread
new rooted clones
10ml/gal PBP grow
5ml/gal Cal-Mag
10ML/gal Liquid Karma
8ML/gal Hygrozyme
First res is 900ppm but 500ppm of this is PBP grow, everything else is soft, LK wont harm your plants and that cal-mag doesnt add much ppm anyways
once growth starts going faster i go by judgment, my plants speak to me so i add only 5ml/gal of PBP grow and if i see a little yellowing depending on plant size i may have to up the cal-mag to 10ML/gal, but after first res i dont use LK
Mid size Veg
these numbers are bare minimums, strain dependant may want more food
15ml/gal PBP grow
5ml cal-mag
5ml sweet
8ml hygrozyme
keep in mind sweet is $70 a gallon plus PBP has raw cane sugar in it, so i dont use much of it yet, i kick it up a notch during larger veg max out at 10ml/gal, and i only use hygrozyme on res changeouts, i dont top of with it or addback, when i need to addback i do so at 25% of my original mix only if ppms go down, if ppms rise i use plain water.
ppm still around 900 but its like 700ppm of PBP the rest is soft stuff
by the time flower starts i would like to be at 1200ppm, i also run PBP grow for the first 2 weeks of bloom, its no biggie you can go with the bloom nutes as the NPK numbers are very similar, at this point its still strain dependant and may need 10ml/gal if they are heavy feeds, this cal-mag will prevent early yellowing
so we are at late veg (i go 4 weeks)
to get our 1200ppm we need
20ml PBP grow
atleast 5ml cal-mag
and 5 sweet
this is all interchangable, during flower you can go 25ml bloom and 10 callmag or 30bloom 5 cal-mag..regardless for the whole bloom cycle i like to run atleast 10ml of sweet, sweet has magnesium in it is will help you lay off the cal-mag if you like, my whole point is you can run your mixes in 5ml increments of each of the 3 different bottles and not harm your plants
****please note : calcium is an immoble element, this means it takes a while for it to travel through the plant, so if you are running R/O water or tap water less than 100ppm add atleast 5ml/gal of cal-mag, its easier to add it than to correct the calcium deficiency you cheap bastard! calcium starts at the edges of the serrated tips of the leaf looking like small rust spots, then works its way between the viens of the leaf towards the center vien, leaves will not recover. from my own exp. i know magnesium is an easier fix and leaves may or may not recover.
i use Beastie Blooms and cha ching starting at 3rd week flower or when i first see bud sites develping faster, i start at 1/4 strength and max out at 1/2...1/2 strength beastie blooms reads about 200ppm and between everything i like to max out at 2000ppm running 30ml./gal of PBP bloom. also when i flush its not really flushing, i run 10ml of sweet and 1/2 cha ching for the last 1-2 weeks before the chop total ppm is about 300-350 so its not bad, but the sweet provides the plant with much needed energy at this stage, while the cha ching really packs on the resin, trust me on this its worth every penny, this is the one stage that you can have final say on how the finished product comes out, aromatic and sticky, smooth and strong or plain water and diminshed flavor? to me PBP in hydro actually makes finished product taste soil grown
