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

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

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
