nothin wrong with that…if it works for you. if you buy the liquid in bulk (like 5 gallons) the price diff is negligible anyways. my biggest beef with the powders is how slow they mix when doing multiple mixes it can be a PITA.Thanks Mudraya!
i’ll look for the 1:2 MG:MB even if I was going to try MB from start to finish.
I’m just thinking some plan B (and C) in case I wouldn’t be happy with the KISS method.
I really love H3ad’s formula, so easy to master and tweak, if I do something wrong with MB I will fall back on 6/9
I prefer DWC, which is a Roots-In type hydro (roots are constantly IN the solution). Your desired pH changes a little in Roots-Out hydro, due to the slight pH swing as the media dries out between waterings.
Magnesium is the element with the greatest differences in demand for cannabis. I generally start with .5g/gallon of a quality epsom salt. (Not the hydrate versions, magnesium sulfate) When the plants have a full pH swing often enough, not enough mag will show up as the standard yellowing on the leaves between the veins. Add a bit more epsom. You should be able to chop your plant at any time during flower (no flush), dry it out and NOT get sparking or crackling.
When you start with r/o water and add Maxibloom, the pH drops to around 4'ish. Add pH up in Roots-In systems until you reach 5.4. Roots-Out systems you want around 5.6. As your plants remove the nutrients, they're removing the natural pH down they are and the pH will slowly rise as the days pass. It should reach 5.8-6.0 within 7 days at the start of flowering. Too slow means you have too many gallons of nutrient for your plants/light-wattage. Too quick means you have too few gallons of nute mix.
750ppm is about maximum for me and the genetics I've run in the past. Read your plants by color, they should look close to what my photo shows. Darker green and you'll be destroying quality, lighter green and you run the risk of deficiencies. I try to grow as light as possible without deficiencies. Less really is 'more' with cannabis.
Glad to help. Reservoir management is one of the most often overlooked parts of "hydroponics" and it makes all the difference in the world.
Can we finally go and fix the dissolve your fertilizer in a jar of hot water on the very first page of this thread that is wrong. Been here before saying it was wrong. I can see a newbie (posted 10/21) that has nine posts here thinks the way to dissolve Maxi is in a jar of hot water. Fix the thread. I've said before the wrong info it's just to much out there in front like it correct, forget that read the entire thread and get the right info. Fix the darn wrong info, stop being so stubborn that this thread is great. Find the time and humble yourself, get it correct.
I've been mixing it in a jar with hot water for years... never more then 5 gal at a time tho... and at 5 gal I mix using 2 17.5g jars... Does hot water damage the nutrient in anyway? Are you saying I can just weigh out and dump into a rez without the hullabaloo?This is true I learned the hard way with MB, gotta mix it in the tank it needs a lot of water volume otherwise its drops out, don't mix it concentrated.
