Grow Mediums senesi coco bolom help?

[drgreen]

basicly, i use sensi coco bloom a and b,. i dont use any addatives, i keep it simple,

atm im feeding 5 liters water and im on 20ml a and 20ml b

tang stops at 10ml each. but uses addatives too,


just wondering if i am ok due to not usign adds?

the bottle goes upto 6ml/l thats 30ml in my 5l...
plants havent shown any burns all are healthy as hell,

the choklate skunk is huge tho and she is lighter green which tells me she prob wants more?

am i safe upping dose to the bottles guide under led? i seem to believe that the guides for hps and led wil onyl need half the feed? light intensity etc?

If it aint broke why fix it?

Your base nutrient lineup will be fine without extra additives. If your plants are happy keep doing what your doing.

Ditto.

Depending on which type of additive, it may or may not increase the EC. (ex: pk dramatically increases EC, carbs dont) So up'ing the A&B feed to match someone else's EC might end up burning the plant. It can only take so much of macro and trace elements. Charts are a general rule of thumbs, the plants themselves will tell you what they want. If they look good, nice lush green tone and leaves happily praising the skies, then they're happy. So yeah, without additives, dont necessarily increase A&B dosage.

What you definitely should try is up'ing the EC by 0.1/0.2 every couple of days into flowering, and when they complain (tipi burn), immediately cut back 0.2/0.3, wait a few days/week, and repeat. That way, you get to learn what that strain likes. Keep a log. That alone can work wonders.

Additives will only help if they are happy, otherwise they're a waste. So its actually good learn to read plant without additives first, and later on use them for a proper boosting.
