WeedHound's Nute Schedule for Hydro/Botanicare

thanks weedhound, going to use this as what I'm going to go off of....I'm sure some methods will be tweaked along the way.

Hi Douglas,

I've found that growing in larger buckets allowed for higher ppms in my grows so don't hesitate to try upping your numbers BUT BUT BUT .....watch your plants VERY carefully for their reaction. One of the joys of hydro is being able to change your plants nute needs immediately and either add or take away things right then and there as oppposed to soil growing. This is one of the things I LOVe about hydro. :)

Hi WH, I've decided I'm definitely going to use Botanicare Products (at least the Pro Grow and Bloom), but seeing as I'm doing an LST, all CFL grow, do you still think the other supplements (Liquid Karma, Sweet) will be all that beneficial or is there just not enough potential with the CFL lights?

Also, how much of the nutrients do you think 2 plants will consume from veg to harvest?

Bump

DP, you keep posting individual stuff on stickies- start your own thread!
As for volume of nutes from seed to harvest... no one has answered because there are a lot of variables. What style? What strain? How often do you drain res? Etc etc etc.
Please start your own threads for your own questions, thansk.

Sorry bout that - starting one now where I will answer the questions you posed :jointsmile:

Just dropped seeds from wet towels to rapid rooters.

When should I start using super thrive? After I see some foilage or now at 1/4 dose?

Use ST VERY sparingly......it's strong stuff. 1 drop a gallon is all i use for brand new babies (that's in ph correct RO water of course. ;))

WH, how would you alter your schedule if veg time was cut to 2 weeks?

For RO water, how many stages do you use WH? I see 2 stage and 5 stage and I understand what they do, I know osmosis, but where is the return negligible? Also, on those RO units, how easy are they to hook up? I can do a lot of things and plumbing is not one of them.
