I love the Commodore 64, the sound chip is just so incredible.
From an inexpensive 1982 consumer computer!

4 8 7 ,you could use start to finish as a base . plenty of nitrogen for most strains

I've got the pH pen calibration and storage fluids from Growth Technology. Haven't used anything else from them.
Some of these new age companies like Athena are suggesting crazy high EC values like 3.0. Must be totally different than the old school nutes.

depends on the substrate . ionic are the brand i started with indoor nft growing when i was 17 . i only recently started using it again for simplicity when using a reservoir . the npk alters depending on substrate. the soil range has a lower npk . they also oproduce rgano mineral lines too etc. ionic are a solid brand imo. i like the simplicity

the best one bottle nutrient for lazyness is the floranova range from gh , but that needs shaking constantly and is only good for hand watering and mixing . i would need to agitate it constantly and do res changes using it . ionic does the job with no mess

I totally agree. You could have some fun with friends without studying all this crazy button combos for weeks.
I have a question how often you feed the solution.
I am using the same and forgot nearly anything about feeding after a 13 years break.
My plants are in soil and the strain should have a feeding with max 0.7 ec. My tap water has 0.6 ec, so in 200ml water one drop of the solution raises the ec to 0.7. Seems to little.
I grew up with a C64, Amiga, Mega Drive, NES and Playstation.
There were a lot of nice games.

Yeah that’s nuts! I rarely go over 1.2. Occasionally up to 1.5 for a boost here or there but 3.0 just seems excessive, unless aiming for the over nuted snap, crackle and pop buds… and who wants that shit!!
Personally, I like canna coco, canna bio(expensive though) and floramax for a good clean nute that doesn’t need crazy high E.C.
I recently switched back to canna bio after using other bits for years, it doesn’t give you giant yields or blow the plants up like some of the other nutrients, but the plants express a bit more naturally and the end results speak for themselves in quality and flavour, and surely that’s what we’re all after…
There is and always has been a surprising lack of information about the bio line anywhere on the internet, even from canna themselves…

what soil mix? an ec of 0.7 seems a tad low for an established plant . depends on substrate , strength of soil, light intensity , temperature , age of plant , stage etc . depends on the nutrient too. many factors
if i start young plants in fresh soil mix with a high ec and food source , then water only for a period and then i would use an e.c of around 0.7 at early stage through to a max of 1.2-1.4ec depending on the strain . if its a 6ft tree under 1000watt units or high intensity led , you may need to go higher , but i rarely do. especially with soil .
