I agree, as I am on my 2nd pair of shears after my 1st. year growing in Coco/perlite. I wet trim as well, it's just easier to final trim after drying,Cheers SS
I would add peat to the mix since your water will be basic,my well water has more dissolved solids than yours and reads about 800ppm,one time when i ran hydroponics and i mixed my own salts bought in 50lb sacks.I emailed homegrown hydroponics for suggestions first, then our local agricultural college and they they suggested to send them a copy of the analysis (which my township office supplied for a few bucks,probably more now) and they would work out a formula.They did it for free.It was for tomatoes because it was so illegal but it worked great,I don't have the formula anymore or I'd post it. It was a concentrated 2 part mix with no trace required because the well water already had plenty. I tapped into town water later so the problem is history.Just an idea. Good luck.Greetings,
I've used Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect Micro/Grow/Bloom/Big Bud/Sensizym/B-52 in cloth bags and ProMix HP for my last two grows with acceptable results.
But, I'm kinda tired of all the mixing so I'm going to give MC a go...
I have Shiskaberry clones on the way and will do a side by side comparison with AN/Mega Crop.
To be clear, a 44" x 54" x 4' high enclosure in a 10' x 10' room. 600w MH/HPS, 3 gallon cloth pots.
BTW > my well water ppm is ~500. Can anyone suggest what ppm to mix to ? I assume their feeding schedule will be useless for me ?
I have a bad habit of upping the nutrients until I see burn but would like to avoid that if possible
The plan is to do the whole grow with MC without additives on one or two plants unless the girls look like they need help.
Any comments or suggestions on what to look out for ?
Cheers.

Yes and perlite and lime as well but the well water will raise itProMix HP has peat moss in it....

Probably, but long after it matters !Yes and perlite and lime as well but the well water will raise it
OP must have the luckiest 500ppm water in the world. Having low enough bicarbonate with 500ppm water is unusual. And the Promix rep saying you don't need to pH peat is odd and contrary to their website info.

Weed does have a wider pH range than the 5.8-6.2 pH that we shoot for. It's more like 5.0-7.5 pH, if the plants are well fed and paired with the right amount of light.
It's NEVER wrong to pH your feed, if you do it right. pH based nutrient lockout is real thing.
I'd be interested to know the OP's runoff pH at the end of bloom.
Traditional synthetic nutrients use EDTA salt chelation that uses pH within a certain range as the means to release the nutrients and make them available to the plants. Veganic nutrients are bound instead with an amino acid that is actually eaten by the plants to release the nutrients hidden inside, and the pH of the fluids has no bearing on this process. As long as your pH is within the bio-safe range of 9-4, uptake is fine in that system.
Well said!!OP must have the luckiest 500ppm water in the world. Having low enough bicarbonate with 500ppm water is unusual. And the Promix rep saying you don't need to pH peat is odd and contrary to their website info.

Bro you gotta add some Pro-Mix into your Pro-Mix. Not enough peat in Pro-Mix
How much peat do you suggest ? I'm getting such terrible results as is...
