Greetings fellow DGC. I’m looking for a little…who am I kidding I’m looking for a lot of advice on an effective nutrient schedule. It’s my first grow in a 4×4 ac infinity tent. I’m running a timber grow cypress 6 with two s6 cloudline fans and inkbird controllers. While waiting for the light to be built I had plenty of time to buy practically the whole line of GH products, more is better right? So now I’m somewhat in a pickle. I have two Step Childs from Best Coast Gens, one Trademark Chad from Riot Seeds, and a bag seed Pink Candy from Betty all grown in coco/perlite/castings 60/20/20. I’ve been trying to use the 10 panel custom feed chart from GH with recharge of course but have run into so many bumps in the road from thrips to deficiencies to toxicity and now lockout. It’s the girls first couple days into flower and I did a complete flush with florakleen(why not I bought the damn stuff) and I want to at least try to finish them on the right foot. Any suggestions or recommendations on what to feed and how much would be awesome. Sorry about chattering on but I just had my morning pot of coffee and super lemon haze fix. Thanks in advance guys and gals.
If you are full dosing the GH nutes you may be coming in hot and locking stuff out. I usually bounce back and fourth between 25%-50% of recommended depending on what the plant is doing. I would let them dry out a bit after that flush and hit them with recharge. They don’t look that bad. You’re going to be ok.
I tend to transplant enough to consider that feeding during veg, and just give them 5ml/gal cal mag, and recharge every 3rd watering. I Start in root plug, go to quart pot after 3 weeks in dome. 2 weeks later to 1 gal, (where I will start feed) 3 weeks later to 5 gal and flip time. I follow a feed-water-water-water-feed schedule once in 1 gallon pot. So a transplant would count as feed and will time it so. Using fox farm, grow big, big bloom, wholly mackerel at first feeding during veg, which is only 3 ml per gallon, with all 3 being used, ppm will go up. Then during flower ( still following feed-water-water-water-feed) they get big bloom, tiger bloom, 5 ml per gal each. Important.. during the waterings it’s not plain water. One will include mag sweet, one will have molasses, one will be recharge. By week 7 of flower, no more feedings, Just water with mollases or recharge, and new millennium Winter frost instead of mag sweet. At all times, looking for signs , that may alter this. Especially growing 4 different strains, sometimes one of them just isn’t ready for water yet ..you will likely need to alter for each strain a bit . Look up professor Debaccos cannabis leaf symptoms. Great visuals for all the deficiencies. Happy growing!
You said you have the full GH line…….does not mean you have to use them all. I would cut back to 50% on just the bases until you get the hang of it. Also running multiple genetics is a PITA sometimes especially for a first run.
Great tips and appreciated. Would I keep the cal/mag and armor si in the mix if I cut down to GH’s basic 3 part nutrients?
