That's OK...I started this to try and create a dialogue and it started out great, but I don't have tits and I haven't threatened to Kill anybody, so It dropped; LOL. Thanks for bumping it up.

Starting with RO/distilled water...your ph will be much more consistent, if you don't use tap...buy gh or pro ph up/down, you will need it...It is under 20 bucks.

I use 3-part...AN(advanced nutrients) or GH(general hydroponics)
Or...pure blend pro(organic), make sure you get soil or hydro formula, they make each.

1st I add calmag+ to replenish minerals removed by reverse-osmosis process.

I add Liquid karma... you can stop here. LK goes with pure blend pro. this would be a really simple safe 1st time recipe.

Want More?

Botanicare's Line(organic)
pure blend pro
calmag+
liquid karma
sweet
..are what I use if I want to grow organic(my tomato's and peppers)

I finish off rez with hygrozyme and all is good.

In the Advanced Nutrient line...For flower, added to above recipe, consecutively...phase II
I add bud blood...1 week only, for faster stronger flower sets

week 2-5 switch to big bud, high potassium

week 6-7 switch to overdrive, releases the oils/resin

week 8 flush no nutes. use AN final phase or GH Flora kleen.

hope this answers your question.

Liquid Karma contains 1/2 the humic acid rceommended for optimum nutrient uptake. So, I also add 1/2 a dose of humic acid. I use Europonic Fossil Fuel. I will warn you, Straight up; this stuff looks like motor oil...It will stain your roots. somewhat. Not for the timid, rof&lmao
later lw

for future reference you can post in Madman goes aero. I will always answer, disregard crap with stormcooker, he has always attacked me without provocation.

the thread was meant to be a build thread, but since Zandor stuck it, jusrt communicate with me there.
Maybe some-one will start talking about light again.

speaking of lights. I now have 1 cool 48" fluoro tube, great for clones/seedlings
4 45/150 cfl's clones seedlings, satellite vegging
1 250 hps son agromax
1 400 mh sunmaster-warm
1 1000 hps hortilux
2 1000 MH Agrosun gold
