Transition Flush/Nutes Advice...
Is the big bud dosage you gave for the powder or liquid? I know they can vary greatly...Also, would you recommend using the dosage given on AN's nute calculator for voodoo juice and overdrive, or something smaller since you said hydro typically needs less? Also, I take it since I am mixing Liquid Karma and water outside of the reservoir, that I also do the same during reservoir changes (I mix up the nutes then put them into my buckets, and not put the nutes into the buckets and allow the bubbles to mix?). Or doesn't it really matter, that either way will mix fine? Also, was my method right in saying that you add additive, water, more additives (each separately- mix thoroughly before adding another), then base nutes? I was thinking you wouldn't want to add two concentrated chemicals together without first adding water. Also, you said my EC should be between a 1.8-2.2 What would that translate to in PPM? Sorry, bought a TDS pen instead of an EC one.
Also, I'm guessing now dosing directions are given per gallon of water, and not per solution, right? So with your Liquid Karma top-off solution, say I needed to top off a half gallon of solution. I would have 5 mL of Liquid Karma and half gallon of water (larger total volume)? Or would I have 5 mL of Liquid Karma + water making up a half gallon total (smaller total volume)? Everytime I think of this, I think I might be getting too nitpicky, but with the sensitivity of the plant and the strength of the concentrations, one answer might give me nute burn and the other might give me a perfect grow. Also, when topping off, say I have a reservoir pH of 5.8. I mix up my LK+nutes+water, then I pH it down to 5.8 before adding it? Or I add it and then use pH down in my solution to get it to where I want? Final question, now that you are doing the topping off with LK, are you still doing res change outs every week? Or have you started to where you only do a changeout when you've topped off an amount equal to your original container size? Thanks, lots of questions I know!
