Hello,

I bought today the GH Nutes line (Grow Micro, and Bloom) I grow in 100% Coco I hope I bought the right stuff?

What Schedule are great with that Nutes?

Google Grow Weed Easy Feed Chart Drain to waste/recirculating.

Depending on if you're using a flood tray or just top feeding.

also google H3AD's formula for Coco. you won't need the grow bottle but you will need epsom salts.

I recommend using the Gro. It's there for a reason and works very well when used per the chart I mentioned.

Here I'll just post it right here for you.

i didn't need the Grow for Coco. YMMV.

Also, I'm assuming you've never used these nutrients before. It's VERY recommended and beneficial for you to use Reverse Osmosis Water and include GHs "CaliMagic" Calcium-Magnesium supplement.

CaliMagic ALWAYS gets mixed FIRST.
STIR .
THEN add your FloraMicro.
STIR .
THEN add your FloraGro.
STIR .
THEN add your FloraBloom.
STIR .

If you wanted to make 50gallons of nutrients, it is completely fine to mix the total amount needed of each part to 5-10gallons of water that once finished, is added to the remaining 40-45gallons. Just make sure you're stirring or mixing or shakin, whatever you do, WELL BEFORE adding the next part.

GH is good stuff. I don’t use their grow formula either - just maxibloom start to finish, like @rkymtnman I keep ancillaries on deck just in case. It’s cheap enough to use the grow formula if you want though.

I have been using GH Flora Three Part for over 20 years with excellent results in both yields and quality and I have tried switching to more expensive nutes with fancy labels only to go back to the GH.

That's cool to hear.
Just the flora trio and Cali magic? Or do you use koolbloom, florakleen, or any of there many flavors of sweeteners? Armor Si?

I use Armor Si and Calimagic. I have been adding Advanced Nutrients B52 lately to see if the brix levels rise anymore. For end of harvest flush I use Flawless Finish from Advanced. For a during cycle flush I use Clearex or Florakleen.

Also, sweetners only feed microbes in the soil. I have been using Age Old Mycorrhizae once a week and I feed those microbes using Advanced Carboload.

All that said, I have had some extremely great runs only using the three part and calimagic as I run RO water.

So I assume coco top feed?

Unless using Armor Si, that would precede the Calimagic.

What is armor si anyways? I feel like I should be using some kind of booster on flower. RDWC.

can't spell Silica without Si.

You really should buy a reverse osmosis filtering system.
