Thanks again for this last night. I knew the words would eventually make sense.Here's what you need to know VG...
at 5.8g/4L of MC and 2ml/4L of CM will give you a N Load of 169ppm. Typically anything higher than 150ppm and you risk nute burn. Your NPK ratio becomes 8-5-13 which is about 1.3-1-2.3. The ideal ratio that you want to be at is 2-1-3 of NPK throughout your grow.
5.8g puts you in the Bloom/Flower week 3-4 range. 169ppm on the N load is probably fine, but if you have light feeders your tips will burn. The ratios I would like to see closer to 2-1-3.
4g/4L of MC and 4mL/4L of CM puts you at an N Load of 144ppm and puts your NPK at 7-3-9, which is 2.1-1-3, almost perfect!
Those are the numbers you want to shoot for. This allows for FFOF buffering if the soil is hot.
Hope that helps.
The only other question that I have is in what order to mix. I assume it would be MC, cal-mag and then the adjuster.
