So i am using the Maxi series ( maxi grow for veg maxi bloom for flowering ) from general hydroponics.
maxi grow is a 10-5-14
maxi bloom is 5-15-14
on the side on the products it lists a series of measurements
1/4 tsp for seedlings and cutting
1/2 tsp for orchids and delicates
1 tsp for most salad greens / veg
1 1/4 tsp for most fast growing
1 1/2 tsp for very fast growing use with caution
all of these in 1 gallon of water
I wasn't sure how much i was supose to be feeding my plants so i asked around here and did a little research and figured out it was around 800-1000 PPM untill it was 2 feet tall then i could go upwards of 1200 + as long as i kept only feeding every 2nd or 3rd watering. ( i don't feed at 1/4 strength each time )
I found a feeding chart online provided from what looks to be general hydroponics because it has all of their products on it and it says i should be using upwards of 2 1/2 tsp when feeding.
so i used my ppm meter after putting 1 1/2 tsp into a gallon of water and it read out 1340 ppm and this was right after i calibrated it so i know the reading is correct
so i am getting alot of conflicting information and was wondering which one is correct. My plants are healthy now in the veg stages of growth but i dont want to burn / under feed them at all durring flowering so i wanted to set this straight now
