New Grower Earth Juice Full Line up + Pro-Mix HP

[Major 2 Stoned]

Hello, I am starting a new grow. This time with Earth Juice Full Line up.

This is what I'll be using

Grow Tent (43.2"L x 24"W x 48"H)
400W LED light
4" 241 CFM Fan
4" TallBoy Carbon Filter
4" Fan Silencer
10" O2 Cool Fan with hanging hook (is on it's way)
2 Outlet Air Pump with 2 Air Stones
3 1/2, and 5 gallon Buckets
1 Gallon Smart Pots x6, Hydroton Clay Balls, Bonsi screen mesh
Pro-Mix HP
Earth Juice
Catalayst
MicroBlast
Grow
Bloom
Meta-K
Hi-Brix (molasses for plants)
Ph Double Up (is on the way)
Ph Double Down
Ph Pen is Calibrated
TDS Pen is Calibrated
Plastic Netting for later.

After the last grow I built a rack for the bottom of the tent. It just seems like it would be easier to manage drainage, and PH in the soil. I left the front open so I can slide the trays out from underneath.

I am on day 2.
Planning on feeding on day 7 to 11.
I have a schedule from a nute study on another site that I put together so I can understand it easier. ( it is unchanged from the (Jmansweed) version) besides adding the Cal-Mag, and Super Thrive. Not sure if I should add the link or not.

Here is some photos of the Schedule, what i'm using, and set up.
In the Schedule I have not added the Hi-Brix yet. (the N-P-K is 0-0-3). Meta-K is 0-0-5.

(edit: forgot Fan/silencer pic.)

1. When would be a good time to add the Hi-Brix?

2. 1 tsp. each of Catalayst, MicroBlast, And Grow seems like too much to start off with.
Any suggestions?

3. Also thinking about introducing Bloom, an Meta-K at Week 3.
Any suggestions?

Thank you. :

Set up is very nice ! what strains will you be growing? Good luck on the grow!

 

[Major 2 Stoned]

Thanks Cosmic Charlie, I did make some upgrades. :.

The Seeds are Dutch Passion Think Different.

Maybe 1/4 tsp. per gallon with Catalayst, MicroBlast, and Grow on day 7 to 11?

thanks.

A general rule of thumb is to feed at 1/4 strength the recommended dosage. :smokebuds:

edit- ha ha, i guess you already knew that

 

[Major 2 Stoned]

Thanks Robwars,
Yes, I did here that a few time's : I will probably do that. That would be
1/4 tsp. Catalayst
1/16th tsp. MicroBlast. (maybe a little more. not sure yet)
1/16th tsp. Grow

The Hi-Brix, I will probably do like the Meta-K in the feed schedule, adding 1/2 tsp. all the way through. Except maybe adding the Meta-K at week 3 and Hi-Brix at week 4.


Here's a quick update:
On day 3: 3 of 6 sprouted
On day 4: 5 of 6 sprouted

Right now is day 10. (I had to look.) Rest in peace #6.
I replaced the dead seed with Royal Queen's Royal BlueMatic. (seed was cracked open but brown, and dead)
That would make 5 Dutch Passion's Think Different, and 1 Royal BlueMatic.
The seed's are 10 day's apart, so I'll probably mix the nute's separately. (bummer)

Also I got my O2 Cool Fan in. :Cool:
(edit: forgot to ask when should I start feeding?)

Here's some pic's.


Thanks guy's

start nutes when the first set of cotyledons yellow and fall off...that's my "safest way" strategy until you know a strain really well.

 

[Major 2 Stoned]

Do these look ready for it's first feeding? I am waiting for the pot's to dry out a little more before I feed for the first time.
1/4 tsp. Catalayst,
1/16th tsp. MicroBlast,
1/16th tsp. Grow
One of them look's a little different than the other's.
The small one is The BlueMatic.
Today is 15 day's from seed's.
These pic's were taken yesterday. T.D. Day 14, R.B. Day 5
Thanks.:smokebuds:

You should be about ready for a light feed at 15+ days. I'm not sure what those nute ratios are, but basically do a 1/4 dose of the lightest recommendation on the packaging. You really only want to dampen the pro-mix so that it gets a nice dry cycle to encourage root growth.

 

[Major 2 Stoned]

Thanks low_and_slow, I definitely noticed some growth in last 24 hrs. at 1/4 strength from the bottle.
Should I add the same dosage next feeding, or up it a little?
thanks.

 

[low_and_slow]

Id probably feed 1/4 strength next then adjust slightly from there. Many strains of autos finish well at just 1/4 strength, so you may not need a ton
