I just bought some nutrient which i havent used yet. In fact ive never used anything because its going to be for my first grow. Its pretty expensive stuff ($100 AU)
Its called Dutch Master Gold range one. Its a single part nutrient.
It contains: Nitrogen 1%
Phosphate 0.7%
Potash 3%
Calcium 0.8%
Magnesium 0.4%
Sulphur 0.05%
Boron 0.002%
Copper 0.001%
Iron 0.02%
Manganese 0.003%
Molybdenum 0.001%
Zinc 0.001%

Is the balance of N P K (1-0.7-3) OK ?
Is there anything needs adding nutrient wise?
Help appreciated Cheers :leaf:

Dutchmaster Liquid-Light product details:

Growroom looking a little dull? Well it probably does to your plants! Get the most out of your grow room lights today with Liquid-Light, the revolutionary new foliar additive from DutchMaster. Designed to massively increase the amount of light your plants can use, Liquid-Light will turn your plants into light processing power houses - using over 40% more of the light you provide. When used as directed, plants grow & develop faster & yield more.



Liquid-Light Usage:
•Add 60ml of LIQUID LIGHT together with 60ml of PENETRATOR to 1 litre of water in a spray bottle. Penetrator is an advanced delivery agent that allows Liquid-Light inside the leaves of your plant. Liquidlight will not work as effectively without Penetrator.
•Shake the spray bottle with the solution to make sure it is well mixed.
•Ensure your lights are on and will be for at least the next 3 hours. This is very important!
•Make sure your lights are a minimum of 18 to 24 inches from the tops of your plants then spray your plants until the leaves are evenly coated with the spray solution and a small runoff occurs. You only need to spray the top surface of the leaf because penetrator will deliver everything inside the leaf. If you needed to raise your lights to spray you may lower them back down after 10 mins as all the solution will be absorbed into the leaf within this time.
•Spray your plants with Liquid-Light spray solution using the above method twice per week (or every 3rd day) all the way through the grow cycle and up until approximately the 4th week of flowering.
•You may leave mixed solution in the bottle for approximately a week but it must be discarded after this.

Cheers for that. But what about what growers have learnt through experience, rather than what money driven companies recomend. Is silica always neccessary? I dont want to complicate my nute/water with things that are unneccessary, but definately dont want dificiencies.


What about the N P K ratio on this product?
