[Skunky]

....

did you miss that?

they all vary man

if you are unsure...

you should just start low. always start low. you can ALWAYS feed more.

get a log out and start low...

thas all i can tell you until you give me a hint as to what nutrient brands you are using, as to some are more concentrated and will give a low EC with a false impression that it is low fed. While in reality, it is being fed and healthy, i.e. House & Garden.

gotta be specific bro

also, i see you said that you normally just go by the bottle...

why not try mixing it up how you normally do it and take a measurement?

that would help, no?

Normally use biobizz all-mix n nutes, Goin coco this time canna coco A+B, regen a root,Headmasta,pk13-14 and alg-a-mic these were recommended to me. What do you farmers run your Ec at? anyone got a basic guide from early veg to flower. Many Thanks. SkUnKy

ahhhhh now we have something :D help me help you brother...

when i used to run canna back in the day, i pretty much followed the chart to the t, on normal feeding...and then i would cut back from there *if need be*

you may need some cal/mag fasho...5ml/gallon is a good starting ratio and work ya way up if they are asking for it.

far as the regen a root, headmasta, and alg-a-mic... never really played with those, im guessing they are rooting supplements and something with algae extracts in, right? you can follow the bottle or cut in half

i had pulled out my logs from back in the day when using canna, but when i just looked at the chart again, they were pretty much spot on.

http://www.growguide.info/ plug in your numbers, see what ya get.

Hope this helps :D

I have this chart hanging in my grow room and refer to it all the time. Make sure you use the proper reading for the meter you have. :bong2:

I found a ph of 5.8 works best for hydro.

Good luck.:cool0044:

Thats why i got an E.C meter so i don't have to go bye a feed chart.

lol plug in your numbers once and remember them?
