New Grower Need help with my Lowryder#2 seeds!! HELP!!

[InHumboldt]

In my formula it would be 2/3 cc per gal with that brand of concentrate.

It would already have micro nutes so if your into B vits that would be it. Check ph last.

 

[Man In The Jar]

Your running a 6gal tank or want to mix 6 gal of H2o so you 6 gal is 1/4 of the 25gal (25 divided by 4=6.25 )
Your nutes are calling for 33ml for 25gal 1/4 of that is 8.25ml so thats whay you would add( 33ml divided by 4=8.25ml



as far as you other nutes I wouldnt stsrt the Grow until 3rd set of real leaves 3 or more fingers
the bloom nutes I would start at about 4th or 5th week.IMHO==

Good luck we're here for ya bro:smoke: Might add this is what I do but I'm a soil guy. you will need to adapt to the plants needs they will let
you know when they need more just get to know them and bump a quater at a time

Also try stopping by the Hydro threads youll learn alot one more thing read,read,read and read somemore :thumbs:

advanced nutrients ph perfect line up is the way to go pretty much fool proof . again IMHO

I'll leave man in the jars rec's be what to leave you with as too many cooks spoil the broth! Remember after everything is done one last ph check.

I agree with MITJ 100% about "pretty much" foolproof and InHum has a valid point as well. My suggestion would be a combination of the two, know your pH and ppm before hand. While pH pefect will do it's best to balance pH it is a chemical technology that is meant for the "mass", so.. if your water is not part of what most folks use (over 6, under 9PH and <100PPM from the tap) don't bother with pH perfect because you're better off using the unused PPM to pH your water to it's correct value. Feed at 1/4 strength recommended. I've been using it for two weeks now in 7.2 8PPM water and it works wonders. Never pH, no issues - when a deficiency pops up (Cal/Mag did - I was running no CM because I didn't realize my tap ppm was so low) it's fixed instantly so I know the pH is correct for nutrient absorption. Good stuff.

Sorry Sir was not trying to step on toes
Forgive my interuption
100% on the cooks :smoke:

 

[InHumboldt]

In a fool proof system (boy is that a loaded deck!) the final ph check, if way off, lets you know you made a mistake and thank goodness you caught it.

 

[InHumboldt]

To MIJ- no my formula is generic, you have specific knowlege on this brand.

Thanks MITJ, InHomboldt, and whats goodies!!!!:group:

All of your expert knowledge is greatly appreciated more than I can express!!!! Love ya all like a fat kid loves cake!!!! I love AFN!! Without the help from you guys i'd be one F'd up mess!!!! LMAO!!!

So I added the 8.25 ml's of the micro after ph'n the 6 gallons of tap water to a 5.6 using lemon juice for now until i get GH ph up & down next week on payday. I then added a bit more lemon juice after letting the bubbler mix around the nutes for a few mins cause it went up just a tad to 6.2... So i then added a bit more lemon jnuice to bring it back down to a perfect 5.6!!! I'll be checking it a few times a day. I have my water level just about a 1/4 inch above the bottom of the 3 inch net pots and the bubbles are on full blast. If I dont see them emerge from the top of the rockwool within a day or two, I may try to switch out to new rockwool cubes. Heres a few pics to show what i did. I can take pics of the 3 seedlings for you guys to see and evaluate if you'd like. All 3 have tap roots about a 1/4" or a lil more. All 3 are a nice bright white color and dont look to be burnt.

Flush the old cube with proper ph---sometimes they go into shock without kicking the bucket and will come back if the conditions improve. Bit of a long shot but what the heck.
