Exp. with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Soil Growers Only

So I have a plant thats 3 weeks into the fruiting stage and about 8 weeks old , I only water with about half gallon of R/O water when needed . Starting to notice a few leaves on the lower part of the plant are turning yellow and the rest of the foliage is light green in color (Nitrogen Def....I know...) so I got some Botanicare Pure Blend Pro for soil it came with (grow,bloom,liquid karma).So my question is how much should i use per half gallon (2 liters) of water ? I was thinkin 1ml grow , 2ml bloom , .5ml karma Any other suggestions you may have from EXPERIENCE would be awsome !

Why dont you try reading the instructions

......

So start at like 1/4 or 1/3 dosage..should be ok

Absolutely right. Way too much. I'm only using Pro Bloom Soil and Liquid Karma, 5ml/L and 2.5ml/L, respectively. Plants are a lot better now, after being OD'd with recommended dosage.

Thank you ! Any other recommendations anyone...

Id say keep it low for the starting of each phase, but I bump the intake up to 2/3 of recommended dose during most critical growing plateaus. Its hard to burn with Organics such as Botanicare. I love this nutrient line.

I have had good experience with liquid karma while using the pure blend soil. I used the recommended dosage and my babies seemed pretty happy with it.

Peruse that label a little more carefully there. Seriously, not trying to be an asshole but the labels really do provide enough info to at least give you a rough idea how to use the fertilizer. If you have the 8oz bottle, it says 30 ml of Grow is for "Mature Vegetative" while 30 ml of the Bloom is for "Mature Fruiting/Flowering". Sounds like you're in "Transition" which would be a tablespoon of each, or 7.5 ml of each if you wanted to start with less. The larger quart-sized bottles even provide a feeding chart on the label. You're not going to fry anything at those dosages, I promise you. These are not synthetic chemical nutrients so burn really shouldn't be a concern when following the directions on the label.

i'm currently looking to use botanicare pure blend pro GROW & BLOOM SOIL
Bloom is the only reason it is called for soil, it carries a higher P than the bloom non-soil version i'm using promix peat perlite. should i also get karma? and or calmag or can i just use the base grow and bloom

Also i did notice on botanicare website there is a nutrient calculator u can setup for pot size and nutrients and it tells u wat to use.. if that helps

anybody else have experience with pure blend and ocean forest?

They recommend that you use their Cal Mag Plus when you are using RO water
