Feeding Profile help please!

[ocelot]

Hi,

Im on my 3rd grow at the moment and ive learned the basics. Im very interested in Fertilizers and their composition and npk ratios.

Ive been seeing some very interesting threads regarding the excess amount of P in nutes and found some good feeding profiles and did some calculation with canna Terra and would like to know if they are correct?

I have to work with ppms because all the formulas out there are based on ppms.

I used this calculator
http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fou...s/profiles.htm

Canna: 1000ml/1009kg
Canna Vega: 2.6-1-3.1-0-1(3-1-4) @5ml/gal 35-6-34-0-13
Canna Flores: 2.1-1.6-3.7-0-0.8(2-2-4) @15ml/gal 84-28-123-0-32


119-34-157-0-45 (N-P-K-Ca-Mag)

my tap water: 77mg/l Ca= 77ppm & 7mg/l Mag = 7ppm

Canna + Tap = 119-34-157-77-52 ??

PPM is a pointless scale unless you know what PPM scale you are using

That is why we prefer EC

This video will help explain the issues....

the scale is 500. I would really appreciate if someone is able to tell me if my calculation is correct.

Your calculation looks about right... but that doesn't mean it will be right for the plant.

Thank you!

My calculation is based on this

NO LINKS TO OTHER FORUMS!

what you think?

For my next coco grow I would like to make a side by side comparison with one plant only maxibloom lucas formula(high p) and one plant with my canna low p ratio formula….

Thank you!

what you think?

It's a ball park figure. You might have a fast hungry plant that needs a higher base. You might have a slow non feeder in which case your calculations are too high.

You have to read the plant and give it what it needs and when it wants it.

Feeding schedules and things like that will only work with 2% of what you grow.

Everything Is different, even if it's the same strain.

i agree BUT as a noob like myself(on my 3rd grow) youre getting so much input, information and magic formulas you get confused but at the same time you dont wanna miss out on anything
This particular thread on icmag however was very interesting to me because for the first time there are real studies involved with nice colorful pictures instead of some "expert grower´s" opinion and ive read a lot of time on different forums that reducing p the last few weeks before harvest makes a smoother smoke...so thats why im really interested in trying this out.

The best advice I can give you is, master the basics before you try and grow like an expert.

Once you have a basic graft of seed to harvest then you can mess around all you like because if it goes wrong you will know why.

Basically don't run before you can walk 😉

Small but valid point....

This is THCTalk, not icmag!
