I just bought a fertilizer/nute that seems to have alot of the nutrients needed by cannabis, but I don't know if they n-p-k values are balanced right for my 22 gallon setup in veg state.
the npk is 6-12-6
and then copper is .02 ,
iron is .05
manganese is .05
molybdenum is at .0005
zinc is at 0.5
and humic acid is at 1.00(what is this?)

6-12-6 sound like flowering nutes. for vegatative growth you should have higher concentrations of nitrogen. VV

don't use mg or any other store bought chem fert in hydro. trust me, it's more of a headache than you wan to deal with.

i use and love gh three part. it's relatively inexpensive, and works great. follow the directions on the bottles.

eh well I would try the mg since I don't feel like ordering that kinda stuff. problem is that here the on;y Mg all purpose is a granule type thing, can I use granules in a hydro system?

no, you can't. that's what i was talking about. the salts will not stay chelated, and will fallout, and your plant will suffer all kinds of wierd defficiencies. trust me, i tried. three times.... mg does not work in hydro.

you must have a nute program formulated for hydroponics. gh is cheap, and extremely effective. formulated for and exclusively tested on mmj.
