ive got a 400 w on the buckets . actually ive got 20 yrs doing this. just recentlt have i had major problems. i usually fill the res and watch the ppm meter. if the ppm increases i go down and if it increases i go up...how ever. using gh 3 part and powder koolbloom first 3 weeks flr. i never am able to get the ppm above 800 ppm or the nute number increases or is the same as started when i top off and doesnt decrease anymore. usually everything gets stunted at about 28 days. i then flush and start the nutes at about 500 ...work it back up but never get past 800 again. why is it that everyone can use these high n ute ppms and have no probs. if i follow your method( which i have previously ,of course it was suggested by someone to me years ago ) ,,,applied to my slabs( just started the DWC) it would be fine till 800ppm them everything would just freeze especially bud size about week 4 and then water intake stops and roots brown and die. i get HUGE stalks with little buds though they are tight. i have years ago using tthe same exact method, had buds the size of bananaz when dried so i know what my strain can do. i have slowly been getting wose and worse and have not been able to reproduce my fantastic results i had in the past. im now trying several different strains with my staple and have gone back to powdered fert to simplify. my recipe in the past was gh3 part. the 1-2-3 method 1 being grow 2 being micro,,3 bloom ratio. i used 2-2-2 ratio in grow veg.
then 1-2-3 for trans.
12/12
week 1 i go to 1-2-4 with 200ppm of powdered koolbloom
week 2 0-2-4 200 koolbloom
weelk 3 "
week 4 0-1-4 200 kpplbloom
week 5 "
week 6 drop that ratio to 500ppm
week 7 to end water at about 2-300 ppm
is this recipe any good??
