@Wisher619 If we lowered our veg nutes, lets say my floragrow, to 1 Ec,
what would be the first thing the plant showed a deficiency in?
Would it be Cal or mag?
And how do you know the answer to the question i just asked? Equation, math?
My thinking is when you use the FNG (floranova Grow)
at a high Ec, it has too much N in it for most if not all Mj plants.
So if you half it, then some element would prob fall from the necessary level.
And that is the element you would want to add to bring that element up to the level its needed.
I know we could just go to fnb, but i desire to understand my feed, and my elements better...
the first thing to show is Cal
reason being is your N is Calcium Nitrate
probably the first ingredient on the bottle
so by lowering the feed....*which makes no sense* to lower N you are essentially lowering your cal.......but wait
this entire analogy is misguided
by lowering your ec you arent changing ratios
you are dropping available minerals.....all minerals
Cal/N/Mg might show up at th same time....along with P *purple stems*
the only way to cut down on N is to switch to bloom or use a 2 part Mineral based feed
such as Jacks
where you can raise and lower N
Cannabis needs about 100ppm of N
and about 45 ppm during flower
it also needs about 150ppm of Ca
and about 75-100ppm during flower
by running a hydro feed +Calnit
you can adjust you N accordingly
if not
switch to a bloom like FNB
actually
you should start with FNG
and then around week 6 of flower switch to just P/K booster for a 9 week flower
cutting out N completely
you can do that with say Flora Series 3part
if you are running Lucas 8/16
the last to weeks you bump to 0/22
