ntxuam01, sorry I am I year late to the discussion. I am using MaxSea Bloom and Acid Plant Food together, it is 14-18-14. When I began in May, I was using just the acid plant food and
calmag once they started to get big, and transitioned them once they started to push white hairs. My soil base was a typical mix of rich compost, peat, vermiculite, with smaller amounts of feather meal, bone meal, dolomite, glacial rock dust on the trace side. You should not rely on the MaxSea alone for your trace minerals and elements. There is not any calcium or magnesium in MaxSea so you must address that issue or you will have yellowing and many other issues. Also, you still need some Nitrogen, just not a whole lot once you are halfway into flowing, so use some of the Acid plant food. I use 1 teaspoon to 1.5 tsp per gallon of bloom and about 1/2 teaspoon per gallon acid plant food. This stuff goes a long way. I have ended up with ph issues in one or two plants that I feed heavy, but they are only slight, but this is what happens when you do not go organic mang. Also one tablespoon of
calmag with every feeding and one teaspoon organic molasses with every pre feeding watering. Always water before hitting with strong nutes, why not toss some molasses in there.
