I used GH Flora series trio. I use GH calimagic. I use "candyman" potasium sulfate based sweetner for my potassium boost. It works, its afordable, and I can really care less about anything else.I dont use sensi ph perfect because I grow 100% organic, but before I went 100% organic was my go to choice. Not many NPK bases come with calmag, urea, sulfur, all needed chelated minerals and humic and fulvic acids. Again, besides athena, I dare you to post a synthetic or bio-mineral NPK base that is as complete.
Well the fact that you couldnt care less for more doesnt mean that others wont. GH series is pretty basic but from the basic ones is one of the best.I used GH Flora series trio. I use GH calimagic.

Armor si is silicon dioxide, the most expensive form of silicon due to the lack of salt accumulation compared to potassium silicate. You should also use it in flower in lower ammounts, buds are made of calcium and silicon.I used GH Flora series trio. I use GH calimagic.

Edit: I forgot, I use armor si' too. but not in flower.
I don't believe more bottles make it better. The plants aren't concerned about brand names. I'm only concerned about ease of use and end results. I don't have endless hours to spend trying to fix something that isn't broken. I also believe my skills as a grower mean far more than the brand I'm using.Well the fact that you couldnt care less for more doesnt mean that others wont.

You mean power si'. Armor si' is potassium silicate.Armor si is silicon dioxide, the most expensive form of silicon due to the lack of salt accumulation compared to potassium silicate. You should also use it in flower in lower ammounts, buds are made of calcium and silicon.
Oh, my bad then. I use potassium silicate too because its cheaper but I make sure to clean the substrate with epsom salts before harvest.You mean power si'. Armor si' is potassium silicate.
Pretty much my point, with sensi ph perfect you dont need any supplement unless you wanna feed more silica and carbs whichi is good as long as the other parameters also get higher.I don't believe more bottles make it better.

But I do use epsom salts religiously. I start with that when the plants are small. 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. I stop with epsom salts when I start with calmag ... about week 2 of flower. This routine addresses the high amounts of calcium in my source water and prevents calcium locking other minerals out. Magnesium needs are continued to be addressed by the calmag.You can also use any finisher product but they contain magnessium and sulfur, pretty much epsom salts but more expensive.
You stop with epsom salts when you use calmag because calmag already has magnessium! With sensi ph perfect you get epsom salts, NPK, aminoacids and humic and fulvic acids so there's really no need to add anything else unless you wanna increase weight and trichome production slightly in which case carbs and more cal and silicon can come handy. As I said, if you wanna give more of one nutrient, the plant has to be able to take more of the rest. Its like an equalizer, you cant just up one parameter and hope for it to sound nice, it wont.But I do use epsom salts religiously.

I boost K, not p. The plants get enough p with the base nutrients.The overload PK booster is nice, but not needed.
I dont know, I dont use salt based nor does the OP, he uses bio-mineral. In any case if youre supplementing potassium silicate you will have more than enough potassium as potassium silicate is way too high in potassium to not consider it when adjusting your feeding.I boost K, not p.

Except I stop using silica during flower ... remember I stated that above.I dont know, I dont use salt based nor does the OP, he uses bio-mineral.

Just because isnt broken doesnt mean it cant be better. Plants can be healthy and give a decent yield. Plants can also take way more than they show, until you burn some tips.Except I stop using silica during flower ... remember I stated that above.
My point is still the same. I don't feel I need to adjust a program that has been working for me for a good number of years. It doesn't matter what you say, I'm not fixing a routine that isn't broken.
