Excuse my ignorance but what do the numbers represent? 0-0-0?

The first number is the amount of nitrogen (N), the second number is the amount of phosphate (P2O5) and the third number is the amount of potassium (K2O) . These three numbers represent the primary nutrients (nitrogen(N) - phosphorus(P) - potassium(K)). This label, known as the fertilizer grade, is a national standard.

I read that you need to do the micro , grow and bloom all separate and in a specific order which means I’m guessing you’re not mixing everything up at once and adding it to your grobo as a fill?
Yes I am. I start with with 2.5 gallons of RO water in a 5 gallon bucket. I add the micro and mix it, then add the grow and mix it, then add the bloom and mix it, then add the hydroguard and mix it. If I’m using calmag I always add it first before everything and mix it. I have another 5 gallon bucket that’s empty that I used to drain. Then i use the mixed nutes to do a fill.

Ok. Gotcha. I don’t get why they say not to premix it for the reservoir. What’s the difference in doing it like you’re doing it or in the reservoir?

I think they mean don’t mix all the nutes together in a concentrated form before putting them into water.

Yes. You’re right. That is what they are saying to not do. Thanks again for your input. Excited to try this out.

Bud Candy, please check my math:
Grobo holds “roughly” 10 liters or 2.5 gallons during flowering. Bud Candy says use 2ml per liter.
2ml x 10 liters water = 20ml.
People have said to not use this full strength, so if I add 1 teaspoon that is 1/4 what it says to use, 5ml is that good enough or should I add a tablespoon 15ml?

I use 18 ml. It’s closer to nine liters. I’ve measured multiple times. It’s definitely less than 2.5 gallons. If you’re using 2.5 gallons then 18.8 would be the proper dosage. Unless you want to be exact. Then it would be 18.92.

Do you still use the Grobo bottles and add this full strength extra?
Yes. I did on my last grow.

I use Fish S and Hydroguard for the water and roots and Bud Candy for the plant things. Someone is giving me a little Big Bug and Flawless Finish Flushing solution. So all the extra nutes are from AN. I can start using the BB right away as I am starting flower.
I never heard of the Flawless Flush from AN, but I am getting enough to use for this grow, Does anyone
else use anything like this? Supposedly I can still use the Fish S and this during flush.

Nice thanks. I will get full bottles of each then. I had flower before to smoke where they did not flush or something went wrong and it was nasty and burnt all black.
