I don’t! I’ve been growing in coco and using a modified Lucas formula (GH Micro and Bloom at 6:9 ratio) through the whole grow with good results. I taper off near the end but keep the ratio the same.
I know a lot of people adjust their nutrients based on life stage. If you are one of them I’d like to hear about it. What do you do and why?
I also don’t. And tbh I got better results after I put a tad of “grow” nutes at the lucas formula. Like 1 part grow for each 3 parts bloom (plus the micro) or even 1 part for 2.
Now I am using Canna nutrients (Aqua Flores) and they seem to have plenty of N in them.
That’s at least my experience, Lucas have plenty of N, but IMHO not enough.
yeah coco may be hydro but i definitely treat it like soil. i didn’t notice the section. i’ve found nitrogen levels to be sufficient with maxibloom. if i need more N i just increase the dosage for everything. i liked megacrop while i was testing it too but it’s specifically designed to be a complete one part. i’ve heard people having good results using it in RDWC and ebb/flow
As a Coco grower I do but not as much as traditional methods, compared to early growth i may taper off nitrogen 30-40% in total concentration but i have found that feeding nitrogen pretty much to the end vs some growers cutting it severely is more detrimental than productive and that my plants seem and look healthier running decent levels right to the end, and i dont flush.
There often doesn’t seem to be enough N in bloom feed so i add in a small amount of grow until around halfway through flowering. Lots of people end up with pale plants which appear to finish early if they change to bloom feed only right away after they switch em. It also depends on the nutes and the dose you use, plant strain, light level, heat etc
It’s been a long while since I’ve done hydro. I like simplicity, so I like to go with the same nutrients the whole grow, and then add extra p and k in flower. Preferably the nitrogen levels never hits the dark green stage and will fade naturally.
Feed grow nutes until week 2 or 3 of flower, once stretch is over switch to flower nutes
With my tomatoes I have a specific mix that is based on commercial growers that has 5 different NPK ratios depending on number of nodes and trusses
basically tapering N out
Flushing is a conspiracy, created by the globalists to help crooked Hillary spread GMOs and autism to the people who don’t vaccinate their children. I thought you of all people would know that @Scissor-Hanz
