I'm trying to decide between 2 brands of nutes for flowering. I'm in Europe, so some of the usual brands I see people posting about aren't available to me. Here are the 2 I'm considering: Plagron Terra Bloom N: 2.0% P: 2.0% K: 4.0% Biobizz Bio Bloom N: 2.0% P: 6.0% K: 3.0% The Terra...

Interesting. Okay so if I grab 2 of them, I should use each at 50% strength, and mix them together?

Is there anyone else who might have heard of these, or can give me a recommendation based on the NPK ratio?

Thanks for all of your help. I ended up finding an online grow shop in my country, and that pretty much solved my problems. Thanks again!

Yeah I'm in Europe, and these 4 are my best options as far as what's available.

I'm looking for help choosing between 4 flowering nute mixes. All 4 are below, and I'd really appreciate the opinions of those who have done this multiple times already. Note, my plants are indoors, in soil. Mix #1: Dutch Formula 2 Bloom N: 0.0% P: 5.0% K: 3.5% Mix #2: Plagron PK 13-14 N...

Of course, but I read that baking soda was awful for the plants...

Thanks! That looks like the right spot.

Haha... okay, give Bulgaria a shot :)

Hmm... pet shop? As in dogs and cats? That's where I can find the silica??

You'd be surprised what passes for "postal service" in some places. The issue is that I need to get the girls some nutes this weekend because they're starting to show a bit of a nitrogen deficiency (minor), and I don't really want to wait 2 weeks for mail from the states.

Thanks for all your help. In looking around online, it seems that hydrated lime is actually another name for calcium hydroxide. As long as I'm not too liberal with how much I use, it sounds like I'll be okay. It's just impossible to find the silica where I am. If anyone knows, can you advise...

It seems the easiest thing I can access is magnesium sulfate or calcium hydroxide. Either of those work?

How about using calcium hydroxide? Is that safe long term?

Thanks - I really appreciate the help!

Thanks jondamon. Forgive me for sounding stupid, but isn't potassium silicate a salt? I'm just afraid that could build up in the soil and prevent nute absorption.

I'm growing my plants indoors in soil. In the part of Europe where I live, I'm having a tough time finding "pH up" to add to my feed water. I'm looking for alternatives, other than baking soda (I read that baking soda is very bad for the plants). I've seen that some people use dolomite lime...

I'm working on my 2nd grow right now, and based on some things that went wrong during my 1st grow I'm trying to prevent nutrition issues this time around. My grow is indoors, in soil. So far everything is going great, and I will be switching the lights/schedule to flowering cycle in 1 week. I...

Thanks all. If it wasn't only 1 more week in veg, I'd start feeding veg nutes. So far no signs of any deficiency, so hopefully that continues for the next week!

By flushing I meant the 3-5X water. I've heard from some other growers that flushing 3-5X when switching cycles is a good idea, but those are people who use veg nutes. It would make sense to me to flush in that case, but since I haven't used any nutes I'm guessing I don't need to do a full flush.
