afternoon all
i am about to enter flowering on my second run . i am using coco , 5 gallon pots , with mega crop 2 part ( latest version )
for veg i kept the A and B parts pretty equal , used silica , epsom salts , fulvic acid
the greenleaf calculator says i should be a little under on part B for flowering than part A ( about 9% less )
so my feed will be for flowering
RO water topped up with tap water to 0.2 EC
0.1-0.2 EC calmag ( should i use at every feed ? if not , how do i know when to use it , i will add more MC if i don't use it )
MC A and B 0.9ish EC
sweet candy 0.1/0.2 EC ( should i use at every feed or just once a week or not at all ? , again i will use more MC when/if i don't use it )
fulvic acid
epsom salts at 1gram to 1 gallon .
i aim for an EC of 1.6 , if it's too high i top up with RO water , then PH to 5.9
my reservoir is about 28 gallons , i usually have to add about 35 ish grams of MC A and 35grams of MC B to get to 1.6 after everything else is added ( in the order above ) . i did this all the way through my last grow and kept it around 1.6 , when i went over this i got leaf burn and a few problems on the leaves . maybe i added too much calmag or something . the greenleaf calculator says i should be adding 137g A and 126g B , which to me is way to much .
should i just stick to the EC i am aiming for all the way through or should i raise it gradually . i know some people go by grams per gallon and keep raising it each week
i didn't add a PK boost last time , the plants turned out nice but the drying was not up to par as my AC broke and i think it dried too fast
i know some people taper off the A and B part but i don't know when to do this .
i appreciate any advice , i am trying to understand what is needed and when but i am not quite there yet , @Aqua Man helped me last time , what do you think , should i stick with this ?
