nutrient recomendations
i'm currently using Advanced Nutrients Sensi 2 part but plan to switch to the "Lucus Formula" for General Hydroponics nutrients.
G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (18/6)
0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12)
one of the reasons i'm switching to this formula is because my landlord is complaining about my water usage. i have an ebb and flow set up and changing the 15 gallon res. every two weeks has to stop and the Lucus formula has been recommended for limited reservoir changes. i'm going to top off the reservoir daily using a pH corrected water to maintain full reservoir level. After adding back an amount of water equal to the amount of the reservoir capacity i'll change the reservoir and put in fresh solution.
i'd like to add a few things to my mix though. i've already added "Pro-Silicate" a silicon and potash mix and i want to add fulvic and humic acid first as well. i'd like to know if anyone recommends using the Grandma Enggy's Humic and Fulvic Acids (or any other brand of pure Humic/Fulvic) or using a combined product like Diamond Nector or Floralicious.
The final additive (for now) i'm considering is Liquid Karma. this has Humic acid in it though so would i risk over dosing on humic acid? When i have more money, i'd like to add Canna Boost as my final enhancer. It's very expensive so i'm wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper alternative or if it would be overkill considering my other additives?
thanks.
