OK,

My set up

Vegitive

15 gallon resi
Ebb Flow System
2 Planters
2 Foot Flora Lights 2" or so inches from the plants
Pumped to level in planter 3 times a day for 35 min at a time. During light hours.

Here is where I have my questions......

I am using the FLORA series Nutes.....

Here is how I did it for my last grow, which produced sum potent bud but not nearly the quanitiy I was looking for.

I have never used the Flora Micro even tho I have a bottle of it, I use Flora Micro during the vegitative stage, then I switch to Flora Bloom during vegitative stage.

Are you supposed to mix all three together???? or just use flora grow as a vegitative nute, and bloom as a flowering nute.....where does the micro come into play....I flower under a 250 Watt HPS, it had a lot of heat trouble got to 95 degress a few times a day for about 2 weeks, which is what I think messed my plants up.....that problem has been taken care of.......How do i create a sucessful mixture for my plants at each stage....and I already understand the concept of slowing introducing stronger nutes to the plants....got to ease em into it.....

You must mix all three to make a complete mix of nutrients. DO NOT mix by themselves. Always add them to a gallon of water or your whole rez. Your plants did not turn out good because they were seriuosly missing nutes in each stage. I run the Lucas formula for the whole grow . Whitch is 1 part micro to 2 parts bloom. Bring the ppm's up as they go to flower. Instructions should be on the bottle for the mix of all thre. Please do a search on here for the mix of each stage of growth , it is here. Into the flower stage the mix needs to have less nitrogen because that makes veg grow.
