Yeah thats autofeed I would not even attempt to use floralicious in it personally... ut can be done. About all I'll add if it hasn't is that top feeding once a week will help clear any salt buildup that can come with a flood and drain system. And yes those 3 will do it all for ya.

Hell until recently I grew with a 1 part dry fert called mega crop. Now I use thier 2 part. Keep it simple and as suggested many get great results from the Lucas formula. Never tried it personally.

To put it plain and simple the more bottles you ha e to use the more your being ripped off. Now in liquid nutes 2-3 is common because some don't mix well together in concentrates.

Come to think of it a top feed once a week with enzymes would be a good addition. Helps clean up the roots and break down nutrients so would help reduce any chance of buildup of decaying or shedding roots that can lead to rot or bugs.

I use hygrozyme but many good ones out there like komplete etc.

Pretty sure my hydro shop guy has hygrozyme. I recognize the bottle.

Not a must but personally after using enzymes I don't think I will run without them. Not cheap but definitely lowers the risk or eliminates a few common issues even running bennies doesn't keep the root as brilliantly clean. I only ever used half the recommended dose as I feel like most things they call for to much. Not that it does any harm at full dose just wasteful imo.

@DreamwalkerJ Can i add my cal mag and my micro while my res is filling. I emptied and cleaned it. I am good to go. Or @Aqua Man too. They feed at 10 and i need to have it done before that

So i did 250mls for all of them. Cal-mag. Micro grow and bloom. Was that right? 50 gallon res. Lights schedule. I was going to do medium but i feed every 4 hours. I guess i could add a little bit more of something. What do you recommend @DreamwalkerJ

Damn! Lol. Just looking back at all my posts today. I had all kinds of shit to say. I think i got it all handled. My Ec is at around 1.7. Thats putting into account that i use tap water also. Ppm was 876 and ph i set at 5.8 or 5.9. Ot kind of fluctuated a little. I fed 5/ml per gallon of each. So 250ml of each total. Should i use more of any 1 of them? Like the grow? Clean res. Sprayed out with h202. The plants actually already look better. Their green color came back. The color seems more crisp and clear. If that makes sense?🤣😜🤪 i need to go to sleep. Lmao✌🏽✌🏽

Yes you can, just make 100% certain that it doesnt even get in your flood lines untilits fully mixed. You really dont want the girls getting flooded with a little stream of concentrated micro. But yes you can dill when mixing
I would recommend using a separate bucket to mix nutes in and slowly add to the res until youre at the right ppm unless youvalready know what your ppm will be from mixing in the res. . If you already know that adding xx mls of nutes puts a full res at xx ppm then ok, otherwise use the bucket.

They want you to use as much as the plants can handle bexause, well, they are a business and the faster you use your nutes, the faster you need to buy more

I really highly suggest following the GH feed chart on low. Equal amounts of all 3 bloom micro and grow is a transition mix, thats what it should be when you are about to switch to flower. So are you flipping in a week? Also, all new growers always feel like they should be doi "more" for the plant. More nutes, more watering, more everything because you want them to do good and you just want to do more to help them trhive. You need to remember to take a breath and stand back. Adding more nutes is usually not the right answer unless you have a deficiency and in some cases not even then. Let the plants tell you what they need. Keep the res where its at and watch the plants for signs of nutrient + or -, watch for tip burn. Always start with half the recommended amount and give more if the look like they need it.

They are looking way better already too. Color is coming back. I turned my rh way down to 54% is that too low? It was better for my vpd and temps in the tent. Its about 80 in there. Leaf temps just wont go up. They stay about 7-9 degrees lower than the ambient temp. Is that ok?
