Starting your 1st grow? If so and if you can follow directions. You'll have no or few issues. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT. Dont start a grow without Ph Up/Down with the test kit for 20 bucks or less off Amazon. If you skip this, you may as well stop reading. Buy coco loco. Its pre buffered. Triple washed and has enough nutrients for 2-3 weeks. Buy Armor Si or RAW NPK Silica, a good fertilizer liquid or powder, cal-mag, growers recharge, tribus all in one bacteria or their grow and bloom versions. Neptune's harvest 0-0-1, 40-57% humic acid i suggests raw NPK, house and gardens aminos, house and gardens root Excelurator, sweet sticky from humbolts secret, and golden tree. Get 1 gallon of luke warm water and add the silica, wait 15min and test your ph. If its out of range use the correct up or down,stir well and wait another 15 and check the ph again. It should be in range. Then add correct amount of your nutrients, 3ml of cal mag, 1ml tribus, 1mn root Excelurator, 1ml aminos. 1/2 tsp of recharge, 1/8 tsp humic. 1ml golden tree. 4ml Neptune's harvest 0-0-1, and stir well. Split that 1 gallon between all your plants for 2 weeks. No more than 4 plants or You'll need another gallon. Split that gallon equally between all 4 plants. Wait 3 days and repeat until the 3rd week. On week 3 if the plants are healthy and they should be. Up the recharge to 1tsp or half. Up the aminos to 2 or 3ml, powdered silca 1/4 tsp, 10ml of Neptune's harvest 0-0-1, then 1ml of tribus. 1ml of root Excelurator , 2ml golden tree. Up the nutrients to recommend dosage for 1 gallon of water. Use 1 entire gallon for each plant and if growing in 5 gallon you want about 1 liter of run off. After you've watered them all pick up the container and feel how heavy it is and remember it. Wait 3 days and pick it up again and see how light it is. Then stick your index finger up to the middle joint into your coco loco or soil. If its damp when you pull it out. Do not water them, if dry. Mix your nutrients and repeat. If you do this correctly, i can guarantee no yellowing ph or deficiency issues. I actually cut my cal mag down to 2ml per gallon instead of 3. The aminos and silica will help your plant repel stressful events if any should come up too. If growing in 3 gallon you want about half a liter of run off fee free to ask questions
