Dr. Bruce Bugbee Appreciation

Consider PLS at 150 N… The main reasons:

  • Not enough P (33 mg/ml)
  • It’s 40% ammoniacal, way too much
  • Not enough Fe.

This is PLS vs. 321 @ 150 N

I only run 150N in veg, and in flower I run 140, 120, 80, 50 over the course of the weeks. To do that I need to run multiple inputs and mix them in parts. PLS doesn’t offer much here, because when you lower the concentration to seek a lower N target, the other already-low macros and micros scale out. I like to use Jack’s Hydro as a base and scale the CalNit and epsom up and down, same with added K and MKP. I also use a hint of jack’s citrus to bring in some ammoniacal, but not more than 20% total and I pull that back to all Nitrate (just very little of it) by harvest.
