    Default Help me grasp NPK ratios!!

    What's up beatches?

    Well im hell bent on getting my understanding of nutrients regarding npk (to a degree), I've been on Google and done my usual and frightened myself with all kinds of numbers and ratios but I'm hoping I've got some understanding i will emphasise 'SOME'!!! Hahaha.

    If anyone can give me a rule of thumb for ec levels at the different stages i would be grateful?

    Ph (5.8-6.0) canna coco is my medium under hlg scorpion r spec light

    Right here goes...

    Nitrogen picks up from seed to late veg where it peaks and tapers off until late flush 2-4-10-5-6-4-0

    Phosphorus picks up from seed and peaks mid flower and drops off a little late flower 1-2-5-10-15-10-0

    Potassium same pickup as phosphorus 2-3-7-7-10-0

    These numbers have been picked off the internet so if there wrong someone please chime up!!!

    So my thinking is ill start off very low with canna A/B 0.25ml upping during veg to max of 2.0 pickup nitrogen with cana mono nitrogen around last week of veg with a little during mid flower while picking up the pk late veg early flower?

    I'm probably going to struggle with dosage so hopefully I'll get some help in my revived grow diary.

    Thinking maybe water and cold press seaweed for the early seedling stage?

    All of nutes I've got to hand as of now

    Canna AB
    Rhino skin
    Canazyme
    Root juice
    Cold pressed seaweed
    Pk13/14
    Cana mono nitrogen
    Cal-mag

    Honestly any input is much appreciated.
    Im trying to get something stable that i can stick to and try and avoid any issues

    Thank you guys and girls muchos appreciated

    I did order NPK industries raw soluble silica dioxide just to see if it actually makes any difference with my next grow,I've never used it before.

    I found the rhino skin silicon I've been using made a difference with the stems nice and thick, I was contemplating dropping all the bits and bobs and just run A/B and rhino skin but I'm hoping if i can get an understanding i will do better rather than another experimental grow

    Pal of mine runs all kinds of nutrients and flower bomb (pgr) to top it off. He is in my ear all the time....

    Why you gone autos there crap, why you not using flower bomb, coco isn't as good as soil and the hlg light I've just bought won't be as good as the 1000w hps it replaced.

    Really want to rub his nose in it all hahaha

    Lol,I hear you bud,when I started in coco my friends used soil I doubled their yields and matched their quality on my first coco grow they all switched to coco now,I started using LED my friend jumped in and tried it as well,his brother wasn't convinced until he seen the results,they were the same about adding molasses to feeds until they tried some bud that had been grown with molasses added.

    Once upon a time, autos were crap. As were feminised seeds and led lights. That was then, this is now.

    Molasses is used to feed the microbes in soil but it also contains calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium.
