Veg+bloom Switch, What Should I Expect?

Is there any tricks to getting it to dissolve all the way? I've been pre soaking and stirring in a 1gal container then adding to the mix barrel and letting it set with the mix pump running. The amount of crystals left in the barrel doesn't worry me a ton, just curious if there's a better way.

Not so much I always have a little bit left in the bottom every time. I do believe someone has already posted about this. I wouldn't worry to much about it

use hot water to mix. Then let your nutrient solution cool before Ph check and use. Seems to work well.

I would mix it in a bucket with a gallon of water and add it to your res,cal mag goes in res 1st before I add nutes.

I also keep another pump in my res for circulating purposes

Its normal to have some grit in the bottom,its a carrier that falls away when it hits water.Thats what they told me 3 or 4 years ago.It doesnt hurt anything really and i dont think you can dissolve it,its like fine sand or something.

Update. Couple days into week 7 and V&B has exceeded my expectations, I could see outstanding quality very early on. Up to a couple days ago I felt the yield would be lacking but they are swelling daily now, just a little later in the cycle than I'm used to. I'm happy!

Question. I have been following the thunderfudge formula and have no complaints but I'm at the point where I'm shine only for a week then water only for a week. Everyday there's a new paper about flushing being pointless. Who the hell knows but at worst case in doesn't hurt. That being said, I do prefer to fade out the ferts just for bag appeal. I'm wondering if I could go with 1ml per gal calmag and 2 gram per gal base until the last 5 days or so. I'm willing to trade a slightly less smooth smoke to not have deadish sugar leaves. Am I making any sense? any thoughts?

BTW, I would post on the Hydroponic Research User Thread but it couldn't be more dead. Maybe it should be renamed Veg+Bloom

Update: I stuck to the Thunderfudge formula and every strain in the crop turned out better than ever! No learning curve, mixing was effortless and although it's hard to quantify exactly, I'm positive I spent less than half of H&G. Also, these results were switching 2 weeks into flip, I have another room that's in week 5, V&B from the start, and I'm not exaggerating when I say my plants have NEVER looked so healthy!

Not on the shelf at my store yet. Do you know what the benefit is supposed to be? I'm in no rush to switch since all is going well. The Thunderfudge recipe calls for double calmag so I don't know how that would translate.

LMAO, I have literally driven right by this place many times when greenhouse supply didn't have something so I headed to the hydro place which never has what I need. I'm headed down there today. Thank you

HA THUNDERFUDGE,WHATS THE NAMES OF YOUR NUTS. AND WHERE DO GET THEM FROM THANKS

 

[CaliRooted]

You can order the 1lb and 25lb stackswell online. They are dealing with a label issue is why you don't see it in the stores yet. I just started running it they other day. Your supposed to not have to use any other calmag products if using.
