Super excited to get some actual good nutes in the girls. Weve been using Dr. Earths 1-1-1 this whole time, gonna start the new feed saturday! Any tips?
Good luck bro
Thanks! We will keep everyone updated as we go!
Hello, a lot of this will be a repeat of what I have shared in the past, but I guess this is a good thread to compile the knowledge into.
I would suggest not going over half dose/half strength. Maybe start with 1/3 dose. See charts below.
1/4 strength = PPM: 290 / EC: 0.58 - Good for early stages of veg
1/3 strength = PPM: 360 / EC: 0.73 - Good for later stages of veg, or if your run off PPM/EC is too high, you can feed at this strength until it normalizes
1/2 strength = PPM: 570 / EC: 1.13 - Good for later stages of veg & Flower
pH up: I use Potassium Silicate to adjust the pH up, but you can use the TNB pH up product.
pH Down: I use liquid kelp extract to pH down, but you can use the TNB pH Down product.
Weighing out the nutrients: Use a small digital scale and a shot glass to measure out the nutrients.
Mixing the nutrients: The Part A does take a while to completely dissolve, but the Part B dissolved very quickly. I used to mix the Part A by hand, but now I use a blender.
Perfect! As always, what would we do with out our Rasta!
Awesome news, excited to see how this works out. Didn’t know Dr earth had a 1-1-1.
I bought the Dr. Earth about 2ish years ago. Its in a small pump bottle. My new growth started to yellow a bit and the Dr. Earth did help a little, just doesnt have everything the girls need!
How did strive nutrients work out for you? I’m just starting to use at 25% strength. Curious on anyone else’s opinions on the matter.
Never tried the pump kind. I get the bag
