Don’t know which CM or silica you are using, but if you’re using 20-20-20, this is what that dosing gets you:

I’m using the CalMag+ and Rhino skin. That’s an awesome chart and thanks.

Honestly I suck at figuring out nutes and really never quite figured out calculations. That’s why I switched to Jacks, less thinking and chance to screw up. I just toyed with it till the plants looked good.

Do the ratios make sense? Is there room for improvement? I tried 2 ml of the CM and started to see an issue so bumped it to 4 and everything went normal. 3 ml might be enough.
 
Looks like RSkin is only 0.4% N and 0.15% Si. Quite a bit lower than the Si I initially used. Is that your best option? You might be running a bit low on Potassium at your current dose, and increasing the RSkin to 25-30ml/gal might get expensive.

The Bloom Booster looks like it will help the Potassium, but the Phosphorus looks a bit high, especially for veg.

I’m away from the calculator at the moment, but I’ll run the numbers in a while.
:ganjamon:
 
I bought the Rhino when I first started. It’s almost gone so any suggestions as to a more cost effective / better product to use is welcome.

I used the 20-20-20 for the first week of bloom then split the dose between the veg & bloom before transitioning to just the bloom booster along with the CM+ and silica.

Jack’s has various mixes with different ratios. I’ve heard of others using the citrus blend, 20-10-20, with success as well. Perhaps that would be better?

Embarrassed to ask but is that good or bad? I really just go by feel and plant reaction.

You are on the right path. Numbers are just another guideline. Monitoring your plants really is key.
:yummy:

Whatever works for you is best. The Bloom looks good at 1g/gal. You could change to either the Armor Si or D-G’s ProteKt to increase your Potassium (and the additional silica is good too). Just use 1g/gal of the 20-20-20, 6ml/gal of the Armor Si, and bump the CalMag+ up to 8ml/gal. I ran the numbers on the Citrus formulation and it looks like it’s a bit low on P for flowering, but should be okay for veg.
 
Trick photography! Is that the 32 oz. bottle of White Out?

One more question. Should I use the new doses for the Armor-Si and Cal Mag+ now in the middle of flower while using the bloom formula?

Yes, these are in addition to the Bloom.
 
Using ph test strips my best guess is 5.5. Sometimes I get lazy and dont add ph down, I can do this because my nutes set my water right at 6.0. Running too long at 6.0 seems to make my girls unhappy, so I just alternate.
 
cal - mag or slight phosphorous. only a guess, as that was all over my white cookies until i dialed phosphorous. i had loads worse nute tipping and edge serration burn than what you have tho. don't wanna send you on the wrong path, so take it as a guess.

edit: maybe ph a point up too every once in a while. i feed from 5.6 to 5.8 . seems to help as cal - mag sits on either side of the equation.
