3 part flora is great. I started with it in 250ppm tap and had killer resultsLol, I use it but that's only because that's what everyone says too do. I've read alot and the thing that sticks out in my mind is somewhere I heard 40% cal mag ppms, and then base or ehatever.
The more I grow the more I've thought a 3 part nite is the best way to go. I'm just torn between 3 part ph by AN or hygrohybrids results with 3 part flora by GH. Cuz then all I will have to do is bump my "micro" up a little.
But that's where I'm at and I am by no means pro.
I just started doing this, glad I'm not alone. My tap ppm is around 330ppm so I use it 1:3 and brings me around 100-130ppm. I started because it make the ro last longer. I fill 5gal jugs at the grocery.I use 75% R.O. to 25% tap water (250 ppm tap) and I use about 2ml/ gal Botanicare Cal Mag. Been working on this formula (Gh 3 part in veg, sensi A and B flower) for a while and it works well.
I never used cal mag for years but I was on and off tap water too. But never trash into issues. I thought I was doing a good thing by using calmag, I was using gh calmag and have heard that it's "dirty" not sure what that meant. Just trying to get some opinionsNever thought about mixing it, my tap is a little over 260ppm so I have been using distilled with 6ml/gal cal mag. One plant looks like she still wants more.

Never. I use Ca and Mg and their forms depend on how I'm growing.I know there are fads in growing, like where everybody turns into sheep over a certain aspect. But why do I see so many people using it like a base nute, or it the first answer I always see on a "what's wrong with my plant" post.
I see people using it regardless of water source, and both hydro and soil. Can anybody explain when and where it became such a staple. I've only tried using it once and felt like it was detrimental.
Do you use "calmag" and why?
Hydroguard was the first thing I tried and has worked flawlessly. I have a buddy that uses it with res temps up to and above 80°f at some times, it works the same for him. It's a bacteria that eats dead root material and breaks down nutes also. It beats out other bacteria that can be harmful. If I didn't use it I wouldn't recommend it.I'm just so skeptical after buying two products that about solutly did nothing for my roots (SM-90) (H2O2) all they did was drain my wallet and take me for a ride with my hydro buckets "experiment", all while killing about six plants simultaneously.SM-90 AND H2O2 are night and day two different products. But my plants started living after using some homemade tea. I have been, like I said, skeptical of anything else ever since. The next product I get soon is gonna be hydro guard (by bonticare I think). I'll Let ya know how it goes
Any ways long rant about that, I'm baked off a sample bud and cant weight to cut this big bitch down in a few days. L8r
I thought I was the only one at the grocery store explaining the benefits of "drinking" water to nosy people as I push an entire cart of 5 gallon containers.I just started doing this, glad I'm not alone.
