Roots Organics Feeding Schedule Question

So I am running the RO nute line in FF ocean soil. My question for folks that have used this line before what particular method did you have success with in regards to mixing the nutes?

I am planning on mixing the nutes together in a Rez and then feeding the individual pots.

My questions are as follows:

1. Do i need to add/mix the nutes in any specific order?
2. Let the mixture sit for a while, adjust ph??
3. How much water do you think is required per 5 gal pot? (I think I may have been watering with too much water in the past therefor flushing out too many nutes.

Thanks in advance for responses, certainly much appreciated!

I focus on building my plants rhizosphere (roots) in veg. The trinity catalyst is a great product from roots. I use that with every feeding in veg. As long as your microbial colony is strong in veg you won't ever have to worry about ph. The roots line will drop the ph of your water to the high 4s or low 5s. Depending on how big your plants are, I'd say about a gallon of water per 5 gallon pot is generally what I use. Pour enough water in to have a little run off.Make sure to let them dry out about 70% before watering again. A good rule of thumb is, "when they feel light, saturate and when they are heavy, let them be." meaning when you pick up the pot.

When I mix nutrients I fill a 5 gallon water jug with Reverse osmosis water and mix accordingly. Once I have my mix I fill my 1-2 gallon watering can and water. Here is my regiment when I used roots:

THIS IS FOR A GALLON OF RO...MIX ACCORDINGLY

Vegatative Stage:
10-15ml/gallon Buddha grow
5ml/gallon extreme serene
10-15ml ancient amber
10-15ml trinity

Flowering stage:
-week 1-3
10-15ml Buddha grow
10-15ml Buddha bloom
5ml extreme SErene
15ml trinity
5ml ancient amber
-week4-6
5-10ml Buddha grow(depending on strain)
15-20ml Buddha bloom
15ml trinity
5ml hpk
-week 7-10
10-15ml buddha bloom
5-15ml trinity
5-15ml hpk
5-10ml ancient amber.

Last week or two I only use water and 5 ml trinity + 5ml ancient amber. Make sure to stick to a feed, feed, water schedule and you should be golden. If you want to see the best results, use roots organic soil next time with mixed in EWC and Kelp meal :)

Thanks much!!!

I should also add that i used dolomite ( 1tbs per gal) and am using the Oregonism as well. They did not have the trinity and ancient amber in stock, I purchased all of the other aforementioned.

Also, when do you consider your start veg and flowering date? I am considering when the seed pops from the soil and you have a plant, that is veg start. When marking the start of flower do you consider the start of 12/12 or do you wait a week and consider that the start of flower. I have read and noticed that the there is a physical interim between veg and flower???

Do you water and feed with a gallon of water for your 5 gallon pots? The run off is acceptable with that amount? I always thought I got too much run off with that amount. I was going to try 3/4 gallon this time???

I use a gallon per 5 gallon pot and if you don’t water too fast you will be good with that

I consider day 1 of veg when the seed is sprouted. Day 1 of flower is the first day you switch the lights
