this whole thread is hilarious. each cut of each strain will have its preferred feeding method and it will tell you exactly what you need to know with it's leaves.
Trying to standardize this down to the exact ppm, is like standardizing education for kids. It wont work to maximum potential. they are all different, and even clones will act differently in different environments. They have similarities, but standardizing will lead to some strains being made worse.
Plants are especially picky about phosphorous. Too liitle and your plants wont get that frosty, and they will stretch. but too much and your buds will stunt. I can tell you that most plants need much less than suggested on the bottle.
As far as everything else you guys talk about, your basic feed General Hydroponics and the Lucas formula is a great place to start and customize for your strain from there. I have been using GH for years. They are very easy to use and customize because of their 4 part mix (micro, grow, bloom, and humaric acid . The only things I add is carboload for sugars which acts like molasses and prevents lock out. I add b'cuzz bloom in flower, and liquid karma in veg for my biological culture that helps break down the sugars. Then I add a little silica, but only at quarter to half amount for hydro. flush every two weeks sometimes more if I notice an orange hair to soon.
Then flush it all out for a while or else it is gonna be bad no matter what. Half of the potency comes from a proper cure as thc half-lifes into thc-a
I am not the fastest at vegging at the moment, but my flower is award winning.
