Just pH at the end. There's no reason to pH before as you're doing the final solution. Whether it effects it or not I don't know, but almost every grower will pH at the end. Your nutes will effect the pH level, and you may only need a bit of pH up or down from there. You're lowering it or raising it prior then having to adjust it again.

Please tell me your friend isn't "the guy" from the hydro shop. Ha!

MrSauga is correct, and I agree.

Around here, we call this bro-science. In the online world, bro-science and real science compete all the time.
No, it is not true.

Stick to the routine of...
Silica always goes in first, mix well and let rest
Calmag goes in next, mix well
Micro goes in next, mix well
Then everything else.....
Test your PH and adjust as necessary
Then soak it!!!!!!!! Till it bleeds good

for flowring my plan for nutes with advanced ( sensi bloom + big bud + candy + overdrive)

you are using different nutes than I am
silica is used to form strong stem and branch structure
Calmag is a must for calcium and magnesium supplement. Also needed for LED lighting
Sounds like you are using Advanced Nutrients product. They have the same things

I use General Hydroponics
So they have a different lineup than yours, but essentially the same
