[QUOTE=GpsFrontier;12178]OK,
That's a really good price on the general hydroponics pH testing kit. Usually they run $6.95 to $8.95.
You do need some pH adjusters. I assumed you already had some otherwise how are you trying to adjust them? If you already have some I'm not sure why you would spend more money when you don't need to.
Also I don't think you have a problem with the brand of
nutrients you are using. But if you have the extra money to spend, and want to buy the flora series nutrients, go for it. their good nutrients (just expensive). If so don't bother much with their mixing chart. For full strength
nutrient solution, use equal amounts 10 ml per gallon of each part for continuously fruiting plants like cucumbers. I have used the flora series a lot myself in the past. But if you don't have extra money to spend don't bother. If you really need help with the math of what you already have, I will help you with it so you don't need to spend money you don't need to.
A. (((For full strength nutrient solution, use equal amounts 10 ml per gallon of each part for continuously fruiting plants like cucumbers.)))
B. Now for example; seedling like I have in pictures I posted, what (ml) Should I Cut That To and How Long To Feed For Till Full strength?
C. Do I Need To Measure Out; 10ml Of Bloom, 10ml, Of Gro, 10ml of Micro? Or Do You Mean 10ml Total?

How I Been Cutting Back
12g + 12g + 6g = 30g
