I use Strawberry Fields + 20% perlite for soil mix. Previous grows were done with synthetic nutrients and have now made the switch to Roots Organic dry ammendments.
Just started flowering and am wanting to further dial in my recipe/s. I understand it’s all about ratio’s (grow= N2:1 over P) and the opposite for flowering; 1/2-2/3 of dominant nute for the K.
The R.O. line I’m using looks like this:
Elements (cal-mag)- 0.25-0-0.1
Foundation (micro)- 2.0-1.0-1.0
Grow- 6.0-1.0-2.0
Bloom- 3.0-6.0-4.0
I also use Insect Frass- 3.0-1.0-1.0
Now, the confusing part of my 2 part question is this- 1) Is it a bad idea to make teas for every watering (other than a lot of work); I often wonder if every component is soluable or gets broken down… 2) The Elements and Foundation rate stays pretty consistent at a rate of 1 tsp/gal; also the frass @ 1/4 tsp/gal. Understanding the Grow and Bloom are already blended at a specific ratio for each stage, would I MIX equal portions or potentially double the amount of bloom (since I’m in week 1 of flower)? In a nutshell, I’m looking for guidance on MIXING ratio’s for the grow and bloom products listed.
Looking for any thoughts or feedback.
