Hi all I'm just starting my first grow and i need help figuring out my feeding schedule. I purchased the A.N. ph perfect trio micro grow and bloom and i also got some small bottles of b52, bud candy, over drive, big bud, piranha, voodoo juice and cal mag. My problem is it didn't come with a feeding schedule so i don't know what to feed them or when. If someone could help me out that would be great

Oh yeah i bought a ph meter and a test kit with up and down. My meter and kit seem to vary a little so im thinking my meter might be off but i just got it so shouldn't it be calibrated already? My girls are about an inch tall so i think i should wait about a week to feed them anything right?

Yeah, you need to calibrate it and make sure battery is charged good. The battery is like 1-4$ for 4-6 of them depending on where you bought them.

I could never get a solid ppm read on my solution in the bucket of a Dwc for some reason. Maybe the type of N they use. I don't use AN anymore, much cheaper better solutions out chea. Not gonna clown you about the brand. :-)

Feed them at about 2-3 weeks old or when the cotyledons start to yellow and curl or me at 2 weeks if the medium isn't pre-charged with nutrients.

Cool i assumed they would be good from the start. Is that what the buffer solution is for? Also how am i supposed to store my meter?

I mean that sheet is cool but their fuxed up for splitting everything into separate bottles when they should have 3-4 bottles max, way overpriced and picking off new growers who just want a good product by deer in the headlights tactics and flashy label's.

Optimal storage would be in a storage solution to keep the probe wet. I just rinse it after use and fill the cap with a little water and put it on. Works great for me.

It should be like 4.01 or 8.0 or some sheet. As long as you can calibrate the meter just need to pick one and follow instructions. The other time my meter bounced around the battery was dead, just a note. Hope that's the answer you were looking for. ;-)

Start at half dose's and watch. The average ppm of a full line AN batch is 1000-1600... Way too much.

Small plant needs 400-600ppm, bigger plant 700-800 and heavy flower needs 900-1200 max.

Forget that pH perfect bullsheet too. Check your pH or risk wild swings.

Those ranges are right on IMO
