I use it with great results for the first 4 weeks of flower as recomended on bottle then I switch to Overdrive or cool bloom for the last 3 weeks before flushing.

[Wheatie]

has anyone used the hesi products in coco before ?

[BlueBear]

i use the 3 part in my coco with Lw's formula as well. there are some excelerated formulas that can be used in conjunction with fully hydro systems that use almost 3 x the amount of the LW formula.

[Wheatie]

There you have it?
Adieu
PS. If you want the LW 3 part formula I can try a search to find it for you, but either way it is on the board.

LAKE WOOD

my bad late wood

[Wheatie]

cheers ive found the thread but could u explain things like 1-1-1 what do these stand for i think that there nutrients but im not sure which ones i know that u fellows consider that thread straight forward and in some ways it is but it still a little muddy for a noob like me if you could walk me through it step bye step and tell me what everything means id be very grateful

cheeers ;)

ps is lake woods nutritional plan supererior to HESI`S the geeza at my grow shop said that this was as good as it gets for coco

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

1/1/1 = nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

basicaly every nute has its n/p/p level listed on it.

you would different values for different stages of growing like in bloom nutes/grow nutes

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

my bad

[BlueBear]

Here is an off the cuff over view of how 3 part is interpreted. Flora 3 part consist of Micro/m Grow/G
and Bloom/B. When using the 3 part, you must always premix in water and the Micro must always be applied to the water first because of the ionic make up of it and if not mixed in the proper order you may encounter a nute lock up. So as a basic rule, you want to mix M, G, and then B. 2-4-2 or any such numbers will generally be in the mixing order of 2/micro 4/grow and 2/bloom these numbers are just an example. when you see the numbers 5-5-5 it means 5ML of each of the parts to a gallon. Example you are going to make 10 gallons of water at 5-5-5 you would have 5ML of say grow for each gallon giving you a total of 50ML of grow for a 10 gallon bucket and the same would be the case for Micro and Bloom. Remember 5ML is just one teaspoon too, so in this case it would be 10 teaspoons of all 3 parts starting off the mix with Micro.
The nutes you are using are nice as well. The GH 3part is just a reliable, efficient, stable and cost affective way to go and when done right you can have excellent results with no additives IMO.
Hope this helps some.

not to be a dick, but im prity sure 1 = 8ml & also 5-5-5 would be 40ml of each, unless ive been fuckin up for a couple months

[BlueBear]

You know?? You are right. I am sorry, that is what happens when it is all off the cuff. The only thing, LW has it to ware 1 part equals 8ML, and I think that other formulas have it as 1 equals 5ML's so 2-2-2 will equal 10ML-10ML-10mL. You are right on your math with your 40 ML, that is my measurements as well for a 5 gallon bucket using LW's formula.
Well, I am sure I have completly confused the fellow now. Adieu

[Wheatie]

so let me see if ive got this write m8
veg 1-1-1 =40-40-40 so its 40ml nitrogen 40ml phophorus 40ml potassium per every 5 gallons or is it 40ml micro 40ml grow 40ml bloom

micro,grow,bloom ? what product is this im puzzled could u name a few pal ?

what is calmag , kool bloom and what does topping off mean ?

fill it in pal as lake wood would have that geeza sounds like hes on the ball

ps product names and amounts would be a great help

cheers :thumbsup:

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

its 40ml micro 40ml grow 40ml bloom, micro,grow, and bloom are in there general hydroponics floria line of products

calmag is an additive, search topping off or fim or lst

youl find a guide around , but it intails cutting the plant at the top,
(different place for each)
to keep height in control.
and lst is to tie the plant down the achieve the similar purpus

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

you mean topping to pruduce smaller plant size?

[Wheatie]

no m8 not topping or fimming. lake woods thread said something about topping off until reservoir change, does he mean keeping his tank full till he changes it nutrients ? he said something about topping off with calmag+ and koolbloom and alternating them weekly im just a bit puzzled as ive never grew with a nft or flood and drain or bubbler this is my second attempt and im going to grow with coco
first grow wasnt bad , i grew in organic soil mix and used HESI soil throughout grow 5 clones 2wk rooting 4wk vegging 8 wk flowering then 1wk flushing , when dried yielded about 1.1-1.2 oz per plant. going to hydro soon when i get a bit more confident in what im doing
