Maxibloom top feed help

[Bwanabud]

I'm running the KISS system, I'm 5 weeks into flower and using 5.5 grams per gallon(40ppm well water). I top feed 3 times a night to 20% runoff DTW, and do a mini rinse every 3 weeks or so at 50% nute strength. Using 600HPS cool tubes, tons of air flow...highs of 75F & lows of 67F.



My plants look great, but appear too dark green to me. I also add 2ml per gallon of CalMagic, and 1 ml of liquid Koolbloom per gallon.


Should I cut the Maxi back a bit, and raise the Koolbloom a touch at 0-10-10 ?


Any suggestions welcome please.

With multiple feedings you could drop back to 3.5 to 4 grams. I just went thru the exact same thing and regret not listening to my plants and focusing on the numbers. Just because other people can run a certain ec doesnt mean that it will work the same for you. With multiple feedings its similar to a body builder eating constantly. Small frequent portions.

If you check out gh schedule for maxi dtw, I think the most they recommend was 1.5 tsp with 1 tsp most of the grow. Half strength of that is .5 tsp or 3.5 grams.

Thanks for the supply, do you increase a bloom booster to adjust element ratios ?

I did but the consensus among experienced growers that break down npk and ca mg and s into ppm seem to agree that maxibloom formula is specially for late flower increased pk ratios. I've seen recommended 50/50 maxi grow/bloom for the first 4-6 weeks of fower.

Drop the Calimagic.
As for Maxibloom, waaaaaay back when I was the Nutrients Mod there was a member that went by dongle69. She was one of the first member to post huge grows using just Maxiblom (COCO, Ebbflow tables if memory serves). 7 grams or 1 tsp/gal was the formula.
I have rocked that formula for years with huge success. The simplicity of it just can’t be beat. I keep a 50ls tub of it for all my “pheno searching plants”.
50/50 is used for the first week or so of flower, or the “transition”.
50/50 4-6 weeks into flower is WAY too much N.
Incidentally, I use Maxigro for all my veggers @ 1/2 calimagic and 3/4 tsp of Maxigro...

I dropped the CalMagic this rez mix, the 7 gm's is just too much for my strains...it burns them up. I'm trying to cut the Nitrogen down for a fade, because they are far too green for their age...buds look great tho

I would drop the LKB as well, it’s just not needed with Maxibloom. Whenever I had a sensitive pheno or things got too warm in the room I drop the Maxibloom to 3/4 tsp.

While I don't know how well this translates to coco this is what I've copied and seen the most success in my garden from.
