Chemdawg Auto nute issue

Just out of curiosity, what is the thought process for using different amounts of the grow/micro/bloom? I've always mixed them in equal portions.
Hi Mike - I use the ratios recommended on the General Hydroponics bottle (see photo). For mild veg the ratio is 1:1:1 grow/micro/bloom. For aggressive veg it is 3:2:1, transition to bloom is 2:2:2, bloom/ripening is 1:2:3 all in order of grow/micro/bloom. The actual amounts are up to you. For autos, I use about 1/3 of the amounts recommended on the bottle. For photo period plants, I go higher.

Ok. Advanced Nutrients uses the same nomenclature, but does not seem to deviate from even portions. Appreciate the info :)
 
distance seems OK then,... Great White is fine in any case, but this close to harvest, don't bother with more inoculants,...
Leaf tapping, or leaf senescence, the natural depletion of stored (mobile) nutrients in a leaf that get removed when needed to support budding,... nutrient ions are described as mobile, immobile, or poorly/semi- mobile within the plant... this means mobile can be removed from older, often lower mature leaves and sent up to where they are needed; this causes the whole leaf to pale out, become spotty, withered, etc,.......poorly/immobile ones can't be translocated from such established tissues once in place....

Hey Waira, thanks again for getting back to me. Great explanation of “leaf tapping”.
