Reply With Quoteno need to make it very complicated with many supplements, GH with Magnesium additive is enough. as for what i use, i use raw chemicals in soluble powder form and i mix as i want.
What nutrients do you use for each stage?
Hey everyone im new here and wanted to hear what nutrients people perfer and how they worked out for them. I am in progress of getting a good hydro set up going and was planning on using the GH Flora and following the "Lucas Formula"
First two weeks : 3m-9b-6g
For growth : 9m-10b-18g and possibly fool around with something high in nitrogen to give it a boost
Two Weeks befor flowering: 6m-22b-0g also may experiment with some composts or something
For Flowering: 4m-12b-6g again may experinent
All of these measurments are at ml/gal of General Hydroponics Flora Micro, Grow, and Bloom.
this will be my first attempt going this route but when I do I will definately make a journal so anyone who is interested may see how it works out.
I cant wair to hear what everyone else uses and hopefully we can get a big list going.
Thank you

From one beginner to another choose simplicity and stay away from any additives or magic juice. Stick to solid base nutes until you are confident in your abilities.

all of these will work, I personally use Dyna-Gro due to it being a 1 part solution which makes it very simple to use. Ive heard really good things about H&G though and am thinking of giving them a go next time.

I use the GH flora series and follow the perscribed measurements they suggest and adjust my ppm for my plants need. Always had good results. Isn't the Lucas formula for a dwc system or is that what you plan to use?
" Trust me, I'm a doctor "
Oh I didnt know the lucas formula was for any specific system, but yeah I am going to be doing something very similar as a dwc system. good posta so far lets get some more

As others have said, keep it simple. Just go with fertilizer and not a bunch of expensive exotic supplements that aren't necessary. Instead of measuring so much per liter, get a good TDS (ppm) meter and run em 500 - 700 PPM in vegetative stage and 800 - 1100 ppm in flowering stage with Lucas. A lot of people run fertilizer very high PPM in flowering, but it isn't necessary.
Good information GreenThumbSucker, much appreciated

i can understand the argument and i disigned my grow around k.i.s.s. but when you have the ability to give the plants just what they want when they need it you have happy plants. i see all these posts on here about nute issues and defs, i know a bunch is ph, but when you can dial it in with a full line of nutes the plants finish faster, stronger, and more productive. i have run my botanicare recipe(using full line of pro and additives) through at least 70 harvests and never have an issue with def or discolorization.
Exotic supplements are not necessary. Complete hydroponic fertilizers have everything they need already. Plants do not need anything other than fertilizer. You will never see a commercial hydroponic greenhouse run exotic supplements ever because the plants don't need them. Hydroponic fertilizer companies would sell you goat piss for it's magical properties if they could procure enough of it in quantity.Originally Posted by superstoner1
