mixing nutrients

[johndoh]

am I right with the procedure to mix water for plants.

1 leave 2 buckets of water to stand for 24hrs to get rid of the chlorine.
2 put feeds, boosts, etc. in with water in 1 of the buckets and check ec.
3 adjust ec by adding water from the other bucket to correct if readings are to high.
4 adjust ph to suit.
5 feed your plants

please someone correct me if I am wrong about this

do you correct your ec before adjusting your ph?

Yeah that is it in a nutshell.

I prefer to add liquid silicone 24 hrs before cal mag and then a+b. I then leave 12 hrs, before adding the rest... e.g. rhizo/PK

I then leave 12 hrs and check EC.

I rarely need to dilute as I know the ml/lt I want.

I then slam pH to 5.8 always. No lower or higher. Normally I screw this up and end up using bicarb of soda or dilution. Watch your EC with these two methods.

I am a 1st timer at this and have learnt loads
sometimes things are so simple and you overlook them.
like leaving the water out over night.

I did this from day one cos used to keep fish and know about chlorine but anyway.

I am using vitalink hydro, silicone, rootstim, fulvic, turbo,buddy

Me too, love keeping fish.

Not sure on your nutes, but start with the silicone when you mix is my opinion - as the least soluble.

[johndoh]

will do silicone 1st from now on

feeding chart I also found the ec`s for different stages and put on chart
