After three grows, I am barely not a newbie anymore. I remember when I first started, the most difficult thing was figuring out what I should actually be putting in the water. After 3 (2.5, really) grows I have finally worked out a combination that I know works well, leaves clean water (dirty water sucks), and healthy roots.
Many nute schedules will work great, many better than this one, but if you are just starting your first grow... this will work well and eliminate many headaches I had to figure out through trial and error. Every grow I considered switching from GH, and now about to be done again and out of most bottles I really considered and studied for weeks about what nutes to use next time around. I decided to just stick with what it has taken 3 grows to work out because it is working so well for me.
My "Easy Newb Forumla" is mostly just a combination of GH and Botanicare products. It's simple, produces very clean water, and works very well with healthy roots. I'm sure it's not the best possible forumla, but it is definately a great place to start. A much better place than I started trying to just use the GH lineup as listed.
So my "Easy Newb Forumla" is to go by the GH "expert" schedule, but replacing and adding the following.
GH 3-Part Base Nutes
GH Diamond Nectar
GH Floralicious Grow
GH Floralicious Bloom
GH FloraBlend
GH Liquid KoolBloom
GH Dry KoolBloom
GH FloraKleen
Botanicare Sweet Raw Flavorless (replaces GH FloraNectar, artifical flavor sucks)
Botanicare CalMag Plus (replaces very dirty GH CalMag, Bot is nice and clean)
DM Zone Gold (sterile res, the simple way to healthy roots)
This is the forumla I have arrived at that I know works well. I am considering the following changes...
H&G DripClean replaces GH FloraKleen when I run out. DripClean can run in the res at all times, and used for flush.
MOAB/HammerHead replace Dry/Liqiud KoolBloom. I won't do this next grow, but might try it the one after that.
I'm sure this isn't the best nutes you could run, it isn't meant too be, it's just a great place for a first timer to start that will save them a lot of headaches I had to go through in RDWC. Hopefully it helps someone, or some experienced grower helps me with advice:-)
Like... Should I add Botanicare SilicaBlast too this?
