Help! wrong nutes!

Ok so my plan is coco with dolomite lime for calmag not ph buffer and a little perlite

I got Liquid Karma, Pure Blend Pro Grow and Pure Blend Pro Bloom. But then I heard that for coco its better to use Pure Blend Pro SOIL Bloom. Am I going to screw up my babies? Or do I just have to mix different amounts? I also have fox farm big bloom lying around, and I'll get some molasses. What can I do with what I have to fix things? I'm way poor and the hydro store won't take returns on nutrients.

I haven't used Pure Blend in the past few years but I am having amazing results with the Fox Farm nutes. I'd use the Big Bloom since you have it.

dude your fine don't worry I used FF nutrients on coco all the time and the plants love it. People always just think you have to have the right nutrients for coco but it don't matter I've flowered all the way through in coco with fox farms. Your fine.

Stick with the hydro formula pbp. When I tried the sooil formula on coco all types of wierd shit happened. Like previosly stated dont worry if you dont have coco specific nutes. I have used pbp for years and I actualy spoke with the doctor who formulated it. He recomended using R.O. water with 15 ml pbp and 3 ml calmag. Most important thing is dont freak out over little shit.

well according to an earlier thread the main difference in PBP hydro vs. soil is ratio of N and P. Same exact K/Cal/Mg, but hydro at 10 ml/gal is 70 N and like 30 P. whereas soil version is 45/45 N/P. So first, should I be doing anything to raise the P? I was thinking top feeding high P bat guano. Also, I am worried about CalMag plus from botanicare raising the N too high - another thread someone mentioned you shouldn't use it with PBP Hydro for that reason. Can I use dolomite for calmag? Getting water tested - how many ppm cal mag do I want in my water total? How hard is hard enough to not need additional cal mag at all? How many ppms of each does 3ml of CalMag+ provdide?
