So if I'm mixing a qt. (32 oz.) & I want to add 10% N I would add 3.2 oz. of N ? If this is how it works it might be easier than I thought.

To avoid confusion, that is not the ratio I am referring to. Those values are percentages of the specific nute at hand. I would take that value and get 150 ppm from it. That ppm value is the ratio I would use. I can get 150 ppm from a 10%, 15% or 20% solution.
No, see above post. You need to know what the ppm level is of 3.2oz of N. Then you can work it out from there.

I'm sure I'd have to factor in the amount of N already in the nutes & increase accordingly.
Last time I hit @Skybound he was there always ready to help .

Hopefully the videos help me to understand all this better. At this point I don't believe there is such a thing as the perfect nute right out of the bottle. I thought MC had it nailed back on version 2 as I didn't have to add anything through the entire grow. But they messed with it & it isn't as good in my book.
MC I did to I have the latest version 3.5 I think . The ph swings but you have to stay on top of it . I run ro water and add 2 mL calmag for the ro then 2 more mL for the light . The leaves are a little dark but clean so far . Supposedly just put more calmag !

I'm not totally convinced about the light either. Today I noticed some Taco leaves & a few twisting sideways. The plants haven't looked as happy (leaves not perked up much) since turning the power up to 80%. I put it back on 60% again to see if it makes a difference or not.
Plants all still look pretty good. I'm trying my best to get close to perfect though.

Understand that , I have two threads going 30 days in flower and no deficiencies . It’s my first not having any rust at this point . You’ll get it right , skybound knows how to make his own MC

I just use Tap water. I fill 3 - 5 gal. buckets & leave them sit for 2 days or so before mixing nutes. I barely used any Cal Mag with the MC. Added a lot of N & Si to it though. Went through a gallon of Si on my last grow (9 plants in 3 gal. pots).
Best grow I ever had.... but who wants to spend $100 on Si ?
If you're using hydrobuddy to calculate your numbers, DutchPro Silica works out to be much cheaper than Stout MSA. Less water and more silica in the bottle.
I’m using the MSA stout and it was up there in price . That’s a lot of silica . What Shed said I bought a bottle of dutchpro two weeks ago . What silica are you using?

I was a OTR driver for over 13 years, owned my own truck for a while as well. I stopped smoking during that time.

It was the MSA Stout.

Well, Well, lights have been back on 60% for almost 24 hours & the plants are all happy & smiling again. Leaves have all perked up.
I'm debating on adding an extra 1 ml. per gal. of Precursor-1 (0-0.5-0) to my nute mix -or- to start adding the Big Data (0-5.6-3.4) even though I wont start flower for another 7-10 days. Either one should bring the "P" up some. I'm leaning more toward the Big Data route since these girls are getting close to flower time. Waiting till the weekend to take pics so you all really see the difference. I'll need to do a defol then too as a couple of the ladies are pretty bushy. Then once they fill back in.... we flip to 12/12. The FIRE OG & OG KUSH are looking really nice right now. The SKYWALKER OG is starting to take shape. The OG-1 seems to be the slacker of the bunch. She's not growing as fast as the others.

Hey All, Time to show my lil' ladies. I'm going to start off with the "CHERRY ON TOP" Re-Veg She's been in the closet for about a week now on 12/12 Flower. I'm already starting to see a few pistils coming out. She should be done with her stretch & starting to flower pretty good by time she gets back in the tent.
Here's a few pics of her.
I'm currently feeding her 5 gr. per gal. of MC. She gets about 1.5 gal. every 2-3 days. She's starting to drink a lot more.
Here's a couple of group shots of the "4 OG's". The "FIRE OG" filled back in quite a bit. The "OG KUSH" got super bushy. She almost looks like a Christmas Wreath. I love her shape.

"FIRE OG" This girl was the one I defoliated & trimmed up some last week. She filled back in pretty good in just 1 week.
A lot of the smaller branches that I left have made it to the top as I had hoped for. She is really close to where I want her to be when I start 12/12. But she is growing a little faster than the rest so she'll probably be a little bigger then I planned. I guess I can live with that.... lol. All the girls were defoliated & trimmed up this morning so there's before & after pics of each. This trim job is to try to get some of the smaller branches to the top of the canopy. I will do one last minor trim job before I flip to 12/12 to remove anything that will not make it to the top. Right now, I just want to concentrate on upward growth.
Here's some before the trim pics of the "FIRE OG".
And here's some After pics....

Up on stage next we have the lovely Miss "OG KUSH". This gal is quickly becoming my favorite of the bunch. I've almost got her trained in a perfect circle. Wish they all looked like her. So without further ado.... Here she is....
And here she is After her Defol & Trim.

"SKYWALKER OG" This is my Tri-Branch Baby Girl. Never had on before so trying to figure out the LST & Super Cropping on her has been a unique experience. She's starting to catch up to the others. I hope she fills in nice after todays trim job. A few b4 pics....
And a few After pics....

Last.... But not least we have the "OG - 1". Well she is the straggler of the bunch. She doesn't drink quite as much as the others. I usually have to give her an extra day... sometimes 2, before I feed her again; when I feed the other 3.
Oh well, she is what she is & I get what I get from her. I can't wait on her to catch up to flip to 12/12 as the others will get too big. She still has a week or so to Veg out; so we'll see what happens.
