This is a little write up that I originaly gathered from a few master growers from CW1.0
All credit has to go to Lucas and GrowGreen, and in NO WAY do I grow or condone others to grow,but if someone absolutely must grow for medical reasons and you want to grow hydro and you want the absolutely easiest and most fool proof way to grow and you demand nothing but the healthiest garden then by all means, you've just stumbled upon a pretty good read...
For this example we will run the PPM pen on a .7 convertion, and also be using a 70 gallon rez with growrocks. Also this is done with strickly RO water as are the add backs.
-Floranova Bloom
-Cal/Mag
-Floralicious Bloom
With a starting rez filled with RO water, add some Cal/Mag till you get 100PPM, then add about 10ml/gl of Floranova till your pen tells you 1340PPM. Blam thats it don't get much easier then that. Now your gonna want to run your rez at 1340PPM the entire flower period no flush required.
In order to keep up with the add backs Lucas/PH came up with a pretty simple add back formula that ppl live by. It goes a little something like this.
((target-current)/target)*10*70
-target=1340
-current=670
-gallons=70
-Floranova=10
((1340-670)/1340)x10x70 = (670/1340)x10x70
=0.5x10x70 = 350ml of Floranova Bloom to add back
got all that,it's really that simple. Keep in mind that if your growing with a E&F table with growrocks your gonna want to keep your PH at about 6.2 in the rez, as if you check your run off from the pots you will see that the PH in the root ball will be right around 5.8
If your going to be doing anykind of vegg time simply add about 5ml/g of Floranova Bloom instead of the 10, no need for any Floranova Grow as this formula has all the right N in the mix.
The only other thing that one might want to add to all this is on day 21, one could add about 5ml/g of some Floralicious Bloom to give your plants a little bust in aroma and tast.
Voila, here's a little contribution to this site CW2.0 and hope that we can pick up from where we left off.
