Hi
This is probably a stupid question,
Im on my first hydro grow ,and im a bit confused about these nutes on the quantities , I have the,micro,grow,bloom that you mix together
On the labels it says for veg growth 2ml per litre on all 3 bottles, which would give a total of 6ml per litre when mixed ,
But should i only be adding a total of 2 ml/l of the nutes combined ,or 6ml/l
I know they have a calculator,
but that didnt help for this question. :confused:
Has anyone here ever used these nutes?
hello mate i use gen nutes 3 part and the amont is the same its 2ml of each 6ml total :rastasmoke: :)
Thanks haze
Probably an obvious question,but i just didnt want to nuke the plants
no worries dude thats the last thing you want to do :)
you can see my baby mummys under (young jack herer) peace:) :)
There is a chart (well a few chats) in the FAQ section that you need to DL to your desktop. They will show you the amounts of the 3 part mix of each nutrient for each cycle the plant goes through.Quote:

You change out your nutrients and water every 7-10 days and you should not have any problems with toxic salts that will harm your plants.
Good luck on your grow.
tried to find those charts in the faq section and could not find them, could you please link us to them or anyone.......

I think those are the charts zandor means,
I dont have a meter,only a ph meter,thats why i was asking about those nutes

If you grow hydroponics then a TDS/EC is a must for a good healthy grow.
We use 4 different ratios for our Advanced 3 part. The first is clone/new growth and we follow the simple 1/1/1 ratio for this. A TDS meter is an absolute neccessities for properly measuring nutrient levels. Second ratio is strong veg growth, and we follow the bottle again for this one. When we are going for around a 1000ppm of nutrients (which does not include the 250ppm of our h2o) then we are going for around 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of grow, 1.5 teaspoons per gallow of micro, and 1/3 teaspoon of bloom. Third ratio is flowering which is a 1/2/3 ratio (grow, micro, bloom). This goes from around 1000ppm in the beginning up to 1400-1500ppm. Our last ratio is a 1/2/4 of grow, micro, and bloom. This is when the plant needs its boost of potassium and phosphorous hence the high ratio of bloom. We supplement the middle of the flowering cycle with Dr. Hornby's Big Bud at half strength.
We have been using Vitaboost, another Advanced Product, for the last few grows but I am not convinced that it is beneficial so we are doing our current hydroponic grow without it. Just the 3 part, Big Bud, and Growth Excel (which is used as a foliar spray, not in the rez). I am a believer that the 3 part is really all you need if you can dial everything else in perfectly.
Nice post racer,good info
ill definitely be getting a TDS meter.This cleared up a few things about these nutes i wasent certain of.

I would suggest trying to stay with a consistent chart to start with until you learn what's going on. Don't use a foliar spray. You can easily fry your plants with that stuff...if you F@!#$%UP...Otherwise I agree with everything here KISS works best in hydro...
that is why we foliar spray right when the lights come on and we use a mix at 1/4 strength what the bottle recommends. Used on a variety of strains and growing mediums, never had a burning problem. Now if you use full strength and spray it in the middle of your lights on well... I dont use it on the hydro plants, only soil. I have a hard enough time keeping humidity down in the hydro room so foliar sprays are out of the question.Quote:

If you do it right, foliar sprays can work wonders. I'm not too familiar with other brands but advanced nutrients has several applications in their 2+ program which are/can be used as folair spray.
Personally I use VHO and Jump Start and they work wonders.
plus sprays like scorpian juice and piranah are good yeild enhancers and viral inhibitors.
Sure you can screw up using foliar spray but you can screw up with hydroponics in nearly every aspect that you take measurements in.
If you are going to foil spray I suggest that you use a wetting agent. Like Dutch Master penetrator or Wet Betty from Advanced.
The reason you do is because the water droplets are to large and yes they can cause reflection in the leaf surface. Act like a magnifying glass so to speak. Wetting agents change the make up of the water and allow it to cover the leaf better and not to blotch or spot on the leaf.
If you don't use a wetting agent then I would suggest that you DO NOT foil feed. Why take the chance with your plants?
