Ok.........so I have my DWC...
18 gallons...bought General Hydroponics "GROW"......was told by the salesman that I did not need the Micro, or the BLoom...
3 part nutes.......
What a noob..... huh?
Well...he was right...I never used the whole 3 part series (grow/micro/bloom)
my DWC is doing fine........(still in VEG state)
Went to the hydro shop today...(and was talked into the FloraNova bloom)
I got it.....

My question is........
should there be some transitioning phase? Should I go straight to the reccomernded 3 tps per gallon with the Flora Nova Bloom? Or should I kinda dilute the mix?
My Babies seem to love "ANY" type of RES/Nute change.........
I want to start them into 12/12 on the winter Solstice...(yea I'm Wiccan)
Should I just "Start new Newts, on Dec 20?????????

I hear you already..(just transplant with your new soup and take a nap)...
But C'mon...would like a little advice here??

Not sure, but I think 1 tbsp. of floranova per gallon would end up with ppms too high. Do you have a ppm meter? If so, mix the floranova to about 800 ppms, and see how that works.

ive been using grow/veg nutes two weeks into 12/12 but after that do a res change and hitem with the floranova...Ive been using GH 3 part...so let us know ho the Floranova works out.

Here's a GH forumla that works great:

Just buy the Bloom and the Micro.

For vegging, use 5ml micro and 10ml bloom.

For flowering, use 8ml micro and 16ml bloom.

That's it. Nice and simple.

Yeah, you can switch to the FloraNova Bloom at anytime you want close to the move to 12/12. Just realize that you are switching from a chemical nute to an organic, so you want to flush your medium well during the res change.

I flush the medium regularly anyway, but especially when changing nutes.

yea the electro magnetics of the earth does change at the solstice
but the gregorian calendar is not that accurate
its standardized
if you check out some sidereal or padhati astrology sites you will be able to find this years actual solstice

I was told that flora nova green and the flora nova red is the closes thing to being organic, have only used the two not the micro, and the plants do great. A salesman at the hydro shop told me that, and he said to check your ppm before adding ph down. In veg I never go over 800 ppm and in the bloom only 1150 ppm when the plant is really taking off in growth. { same for veg work up slowly and watch your plants they will tell you what they need. hope this helps some mopsy

The Nova series IS organic...the grow/mic/bloom is chem...I bought it (Nova Bloom) and started full strength. I got a bitter beer face outta the plants for a day, but they perked up real good, actually grew 2 inches in two days...I was surprised about that. But now I've been scanning "root problems" It seems that all who use the Nova bloom end up with slime on the roots...I'm keepong a close eye and doing res changes every 7 days...so far no problems...
Hey Heruk!! magical afghani magnetic MAMBUDS!!! I like that!
Potroast I wish I would have re read your post about the organics before I went to the store that day......it's too late now, but wtf! Nova Bloom Is a onepart~it;s working!!
I just hope I dont get those slime problems!!
