GMax...here is shortcut to Advanced nutrient calculator...just change value and US/Metric...I usually change it to US...In your case 55 gallons, then back to metric and use that to add nutrients to res...I find it easier to measure/mix using metric values...hope this helps
By the way...you are using my recipe; So, I will advise you this...Use all values for light feeding...
Get value for Liquid Karma from B-52 or just use 10ml per gallon
for Calmag...use directions on bottle...10-12ml per gallon
Hygrozyme...use 2/3 of value for sensizyme...or direction's on bottle...10-15ml per gallon.
the calculator will also show you when to quit using voodoo juice...
when to add the 1 week of bud blood...when to stop big bud and use overdrive and flushing agent...these last 4 are used consecutively/never together...
I will try and watch out for you...if you need some help, holler.lw:smokin:

Thanks Latewood,
I was wondering how long it would take you to spot your receipe.
Quick question....using AN's nutrient calculator, do I first go with "vegetative growth" and record values, then pick the 2+bloom light feeding for the bloom values? Additionally, how many weeks should I choose for the bloom period? (I think it defaults to 7 weeks)
Thanks for ringing in, I've been watching your posts about as much as zandor's. You both saved me a lot of research. I'll hopefully be posting some pics of the room when it's finished. Then the fun really begins!!!

another thing.....
Do you think I should reduce the calmag value if I'm not using ROwater?

Yes, definitely. The GH fertilizers lower ph. I'm not using r/o water, but r/o runoff. The plants are doing great.

Oh yeah..you had a couple of question's...OK, made some coffee
1st q's Yes, If I understand you correctly, From Seed, you use veg calculator...as many weeks as you choose to veg It show 8 weeks on the veg calc. you are also right, When you switch photoperiods you flush 2-3 days (optional) and then follow bloom formula's (I tweaked it down and around a little, in order to conserve nutes and I got great results)...
If you want to add week during bloom formula you will notice that in week 4 the nutes are the strongest. This can be carried out for as long as you think you need to...by pressing add a week, you will see week 5 value, same as week 4, if you add another week, you will see the same values...when you decide to finish them you decrease nute values until flush phase.
Are you growing from seed or clone? Seed,germwk1,seedlingwk2///nutesvegwk3456-8(preference)...transition flush
bloom/budbloodwk1,big budwk23456,overdrive week7-8(preference) flushwk9
clone,root2wks///veg2weeks-wk1,1/2strength-wk2fullstrength///trans flush///bloom same as above (length is according to strain characteristics and
your finish preferences...
my back is killing me..later.lw

Yeah, I had to start from seed. I'll be using clones once I get the females isolated.
btw, the link you posted for the nutrient calculator is slightly different from AN's current nutrient calculator. I liked your link better. The values looked more accurate (lower).
From the values I got, it looks like I'll need a fuel truck full of hygrozyme. I originally thought hygrozyme was more for root repair. I bought a litre, which according to the calculator, will only last me two weeks. The high consumable items appear to be: Hygrozyme, Liquid Karma and Voodoo Juice.(The three most expensive items, go figure)
I received 14 packages yesterday (almost emptied the UPS truck), and I should have another 4 packages on monday to complete my room. Fortunately, I was able to aquire 8 1000W MH lamps from a shopping center that remodeled their parking lot with new lamps. ALL FREE!! I could have aquired up to 30 lamps, but I had no place to keep them. I'm looking at getting "eye hps conversion bulbs" for the bloom spectrum (damn pricey they are)
Another question if you don't mind......I'm wondering how often and how long the flood cycle should be. I'm using the EBB & Grow system. Does the flood cycle differ in the bloom stage from the veg stage? Should the cycle also be different during the dark period as apposed to the light period? And most of all, how long should the plants be in the flood cycle before starting the drain cycle?
