Everything Flora Flex

Nickel and chlorine are not essential and can kill your mykos and bennies… floraflex is designed to not need cal/mag but certain plants love calmag and will eat it all … like I said I ran without calmag and I was fine … but like my wedding cake is a calmag whore who always needed more and more …

I WOULD NOT USE BIG BUD or overdrive with these nutes … they are designed to be a bud booster already …

When you follow the feed charts you will notice it makes you change the ratios to basically be a bud booster on its own … so big bud and all those bloom boosters are not needed at all just follow the ratio changes and they will take care of it

Yea that works … calmag is always good to have on deck anyway … but run the floraflex nutes without it first and see if your plants need the extra

I have to run it in my grobo because it gets too hot and I don’t want to use a water chiller.
The basement might be a lot cooler so I may not need it.
So I think I’ll start with floraflex nutes and orca with calmag on stand by.

P.s. You get three options on amounts to pay. I opted for the middle option so I borrowed $500 and interest was $43 so my payments are $92 for Six months
I actually bought my grobo with this app too, I payed half in cash and borrowed the rest, all with the app.

Ok so my light showed up today…
Now I have to pay for the tray, reservoir & lid, fans, cal mag, orca, glasses, heater, humidifier, Neem oil, pipes, hydrometer, oatey weld kit, etc… I would say another $500 to $600…
Then its time to put this thing together!

I don’t think you will need a heater if you run a humidifier it provides heat… also don’t get too caught up on the what the internet says are the best temps … I run low seventy all the time and it doesn’t mess with the grow … no need to spend more money then needed

Hey @chris_barfield, I am definitely learning the temp lesson just dealing with the grobo. I never try to be precise or freak out when temps are off, I let my plant decide! I have no problem following your lead on that, it saves me some money!
I was just worried about my basement because its a lot colder than the rest of the house that’s for sure.
So do you think if my humidifier runs on cool mist it will still be ok? Or maybe it would be better to stick with a dual warm and cool?
Next up is the reservoir & lid but, I’m having trouble finding the botanicare tray and I hate that they start at $80 for black and $139 for the white.
I figure since Ive already spent so much I might as well do it right though.
Question: does my tray have to be higher than my reservoir to pump properly?

Not necessarily I’m leaving my flood table in on the floor … if your pump isn’t strong enough you might need to get a stronger one… and im a fan of spend the least you can … o would setup my tent in the basement for a day or two before planting anything and see what the hygrometer reads to better be able to gauge what you should and shouldn’t buy

I don’t have a clue what I’m doing so you are more than welcome to learn from my mistakes as I will continue to post.
@chris_barfield is more knowledgeable as he has begun his journey with floraflex so I have been watching his grow for pointers.
I wish you luck and I welcome any question that we can explore together!
