Hi guys I'm looking for people's opinions my nutrient schedule on my schedule I am not that new to growing I have 5 grows under my belt but I've been getting into additives some more now and I see a difference, like should I give it different additives one week and different additives the next and if you are telling me this try to explain what to do for example if I should do one thing one week and one thing the next Now lets get into it
I Grow In coco I get 15-20% runoff each watering
For house and garden, I use the nutrient calculator so when I say full Strength Its according to the nutrient calculator and it gradually goes up each week, I veg for 4-6 week and flower for 8-9
I run r/0 water Ppm between I always keep ph. at 5.8-6.3 usually no higher than 6.1
For Veg my ppms are 600-800 at beginning and towards the end 900- 1000
For flower my ppms are 1000-1500 usually higher towards the end
During veg I feed
Cocos A&B- full strength
amino acid- amino treatment by house and garden at full strength
enzyme- multi zen by house and garden at full at full strength
beneficial bacteria - mammoth p at full strength
root enhancer- root accelerator by house and garden full strength
fish based- Bio marine by General Hydroponics at half strength
Humic acid- Soluble humic acid by RAW half strength
Bat guano- Budswell super bat by Guano company half strength
Kelp meal- velo kelp by remos nutrients half strength
Cal mag by botincare half strength
Silica- FaSilitor- by aptus full stregth
For Flower
Beginning of flower
Cocos A & B- at full strength

Mid Flower

Molasses — 1/2 — ¾ strength
Hey and welcome.
Ok firstly and please dont take offence to this as its not meant as a put down but you are still brand new at growing with 5 grows behind you, still a novice . So my advice is this i have a comprehensive schedule on page 1 and the thats just guide foe anyone who wants to copy roughly what i do. I say roughly because you have to adapt to every grow therefore no schedule is set in concrete. Now the problem when running several products is recognising which needs more or less by looking at the plants and that just comes with time and practice.
Im not familiar with most of what you are using im your feed. So first i ask are your plants healthy? If so then great stick with it. If not strip everything back to basics, base nute, root stim, pk supplement.
The way i do it is this:
Use a quality base nutrient that covers the NPK requirement for veg and flower.
Use a quality root stimulator. Root excellurator is one of the best so you cant go wrong there. And i also look to introduce beneficial bacterias, fungi and enzymes. Altbough not essential, a living medium in just about every set up you can think of has so many benefits.
Quality PK supplement
Then i look at silica, b vits, metabolic stimulators. These are optional but do make a differnece when used correctly.
As long as you knkw why you are adding sometbing then yoi should be fine because you can then recognise if its benefitting ghe plants or hurting them.
Watch for overloading on things. So maybe you use several supplemenys that are slighyky different but maybe they all contain 1 element that is the same so you unwittingly overdose your plants. Just make sure you always read the labels and check what you are putting in.
2 criticisms i have are 1. You never mention EC so that tells me you arent checking your nutrient solution for its strength. Going off tje bottle or a chart is never a good idea as you have no idea of the strength of nutrient. In most cases a full strength base nutrient will be too strong, ive never found one that is too weak. If you know your EC/ppm value its a powerful tool for figuring out problems.
2. You water to run off evrytime. This just isnt necessary. The only time my plants get run off is the first flush of plain water at the end of the grow. Watering to run off daily means the media will always be heavily wet and that is a massive invite for pests such as fungus gnats and its a waste of nutrients over grows. If hand feeding feed daily and enough sonthat the plant is well watered witjout run off and around 85% dry 24hours later. Plants should be light to liftbup but not so dry that plants are wilting. You never want coco to dry out completely, that is worse than over watering. Techmically waterong to 20% run off isnt wrong and you cant over water coco but its not the best way to go.
Good luck.
