Hello Stitch,
I Want To Thank You For Your Time!
But I Think We Are Misunderstanding Each Other. So I'm Starting A New Thread Tomorrow Morning Which Will Help Us Both. I Hope To Hear From.
If I'm Coming Across As An Ass, I Want To Apologize! My Brain Tumor Gives Me Blinding Headaches. I Always Laugh When I Say "Blinding"!
About Typing I'll Explain It Tomorrow.
Once Again Thank You

Hello Stitch,
I Think I Confused My Info & You. In The Morning I'll Be Getting 10 Gallons Of RO Water In The Machine At The Market. Then Buying
PS. I Bought The Kit This Morning!!
Botanicare Supplement Kit - 8oz
Each GroPack contains Cal Mag Plus, Sweet Berry, and Clearex 8oz trial sizes specifically designed to help your plants reach their full potential. The trial size GroPacks are the perfect way to experience the benefits of Bontanicare's premium fertilizers and plant supplements.
Sweet Berry
The results are in, and our customers have given this product rave reviews! Every customer in our testing group preferred Sweet over Advanced Nutrient's Carbo Load. They found that their end product developed better and actually had a "sweeter" smell. This product is definetely a keeper.
Sweet™ organic carbohydrate synthesizer contains carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids, esters, essential secondary and trace elements which are utilized for the bio-synthesis of crucial compounds to maintain optimal metabolism.
Plant Physiologists have determined that a high phosphorous: nitrogen (P/N) ratio favors flowering and fruit development, whereas, a low P/N ratio favors vegetative growth. For this reason, it is common practice to cut down on nitrogen levels at the onset of flowering.
Unfortunately, this sudden deprivation of nitrogen results in a metabolic imbalance caused by limited nitrogen availability.Crucial nitrogen-containing compounds such as amino acids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, vitamins and hormones cannot be synthesized fast enough to keep up with the metabolic demands of the plant. Furthermore, the undesirable effects of nitrogen deprivation are amplified under enriched carbon dioxide atmospheres and high light intensities.
Sweet™ organic carbohydrate synthesizer is scientifically formulated with carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids, and selected bioactive esters for flavor and aroma enhancement. The unique chemical composition of Sweet™ makes it beneficial during all phases of plant growth.
During the vegetative phase, application of Sweet™ prevents plants from becoming leggy and soft-stemmed in the presence of high nitrogen concentrations. At the onset of flowering application of Sweet™ ensures a seamless and stress-free transition from the vegetative to the flowering stage even though nitrogen levels are artificially kept low. The key ingredients present in Sweet™ are rapidly taken up by plants and utilized for the biosynthesis of crucial compounds to maintain optimal metabolism.
The continued application of Sweet™ during the flowering and fruiting stages helps maintain a proper balance between photosynthesis and respiration. This is significant because, during flowering, many growers use high carbon dioxide concentrations, high temperatures and light with longer wavelengths. Under such conditions, respiration can outstrip photosynthesis causing excessive ethylene production which results in senescence, yellowing of leaves and leggy growth. Sweet™ protects plants from this metabolic imbalance and helps produce sturdy stems with short internodes and an abundance of buds, flowers and fruits.
Sweet™ contains a unique combination of organic compounds and essential elements that are directly involved in plant photosynthesis and respiration:
A. Carbohydrates are the end products of photosynthesis. Carbohydrates are broken down during respiration to release large amounts of chemical energy which is utilized by plants for biosynthetic reactions. Sweet™ contains optimal concentrations of glucose, fructose and sucrose.
B. Organic acids are formed during respiration as a consequence of the oxidation of pyruvic acid via the well-known Krebs cycle. Sweet™ contains citric acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
C. Vitamins play a crucial role in plant development because they function as co-factors for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Sweet™ contains significant amounts of thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, and other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented yeast extracts.
D. Amino acids are important plant nutrients because they serve as building blocks for proteins, including structural proteins and enzymes. In addition, amino acids are also involved in RNA and DNA synthesis. Sweet™ contains the following amino acids: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, cysteine, cystine, methionine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.
E. Esters are formed by linking organic acids and alcohols. Esters act as flavor and aroma enhancers in plant products. Sweet™ contains esters derived from natural sources.
F. Polyphenolic Compounds act as natural antioxidants, and assist in slowing down the aging process, providing more vigorous growth and a healthier plant. Polyhenolic compounds work synergistically with esters to enhance flavors and aromas.
G. Essential secondary and trace elements are included in the formulation because they are obligatory co-factors for some of the enzymes involved in photosynthesis and respiration. Sweet™contains magnesium, sulfur, iron, boron, manganese, zinc, copper and molybdenum.

What Do You Think? Should I Still Use Dyna Gro Bloom? When Should I Add Botanicare Supplement Kit Cal/Meg & Or Sweet Berry?
Last Time I "Looked" I Was Still Blind! Lol
Please Say Hi To Lilo For Me.
Thank You For Putting Up With Me!

Hello,
OK This Is What I Did.
7 Gallons Of RO Water Straight
PH 7.0 PPM 007
Then Added 1 1/2 Tsp. Of Bloom
PH 5.1 PPM 090
Then Added 7 Tsps. Of Cal/Mag
PH 5.4 PPM 266
Then Added 1/2 Tsp. Of Bloom
PH 5.4 PPM 286
I Know You Said 500-600 PPM That Would Be Adding Allot Of Bloom, More Than Label Suggests. I Was Thinking About Adding Sweet Berry But Wanted To Hear From You Before!
Thank You

dude, that is too much cal mag added, ease up on that next time, hopefully it won't cause an issue, but ya start off with that and then slowly increase it when they get bigger, if they are not showing any problems.
Normally you go by 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water with cal mag....
I would only keep what you got in there for now, until you get your grow back on track, just stick to the basics for now and then add them in slowly and watch for nute burn. the more you add to your feeding the higher the chance you have of causing issues with your grow.

Hello,
You Said, "If you get that, use 1 tsp per gallon of water."
So I Added 7 Tsps. Of Cal/Mag For 7 Gals Of RO. What Did I Do Wrong?
OK Thanks For What You Could Do.
Longhair
lol my bad I you put in thr total amoujnt used LOL
I thought you put 7 tsp per gallon of water ROFL honest mistake ;D
You did nothing wrong, was me

Hello,
You Freaked Me Out. So Thinking I Did Wrong With Cal Mag That I Changed The RO Water Again. PHed It & Put 4 Tsps. Of Cal Mag Instead Of 7 & Nothing Else. I'm Starting To Think That All Of The Rez Changes Is Probably Not Helping.
Do You Have An Idea When I Might See Some Improvement?
I Was Told That There Are Trichs All Over The Leaves & Buds Now!
Those Leaves Are The Ones Dying!
I Wish I Could Explain Why I Need To Save This Plant So Bad!! So Hear Goes:
I Was Hoping The Yield Would Supply My Meds For A 1 1/2 To 2 Months.
This Is The First Grow Since 1968. The First To Finish!
And What The Plant & Myself Went Thru Since Germination!
Thank You
Longhair

You have to add more than just epsom salts to your mixture, they can't live on the nutes alone that is in water.
You need to go by the size of your plant in how much to feed.
Do you have newer pictures of your plants now? The Size of them?
How tall are your plants now and how old?

Hello,
Epsom Salts? If Cal/Mag Is What You Mean For Epsom Salts Yes Thats All Thats In The Rez.
At This Moment This What I Have:
Dyna Gro Grow & Bloom. I Think The Bloom Is Part Of The Problem
Botanicare Cal/Mag+ 2-0-0
Botanicare Sweet 0-0-0
Botanicare Clearex
Superthrive
Some Old Miracle Gro
Now I Need A Strait Answer. Not A Vague Generic Answer.
What Would You Suggest For A Reasonable Priced 2 Part Nutes?
I'm Counting On You To Help Me Out Of This Black Hole!
New Pics Included!
Once Again I Totally Appreciate All You Time, Knowledge & Putting Up With Me!
Thank You
Longhair
