General Hydroponics Flora Series

    I had to order more nutrients and found a good deal on GH Flora. It was a little cheaper than the Fox Farms I’ve been using (same size) and uses about 1/3 every feeding with measurements like 2.3 or 3.1 ml. I’ll be using it in soil for my next auto run. Have any of you guys used it in soil? Do the measurements really need to be in the 10ths? I’ll start light and see what they can handle but wanted to ask anyways. Thanks in advance for responding. 🤓

    I add them up per gallon then round if needed. i.e. 3.1/gallon at 5 gallons = 15.5, I use 15 ml

    🌿 “Hey there!🌱✨ Here’s the lowdown on using GH Flora Series in soil: For me at least.

    • Precise Doses: GH Flora’s exact measurements like 2.3 or 3.1 ml ensure your plants get just the right nutrient balance. 🌟

    • Start Light: Begin with lower doses and let your plants guide you. Soil’s more forgiving, but still needs balanced love. 🌿💧

    • Adjust as Needed: Those precise numbers are cool, but you can round them off if it feels better for you. Fine-tune as you go! ✨🌈

    • Monitor & Adjust: Keep an eye on your plants for any signs of need or overfeeding, and adjust accordingly. 🌞🌱

    Tips for Soil:

    1. Mix Well: Stir those nutrients thoroughly in your water. 🌊
    2. Check pH: Make sure the pH is happy, around 6.0-7.0 for soil. 🌍
    3. Observe & Tune: Watch your plants and tweak the nutrients based on their vibes. 🌟

    Happy growing, peace and love! 🌸✌️”

    2ml under medium ratio in veg till a couple weeks after, then full medium feed. Running the 3 part with advance Big Bud and Bud candy. Run calmag 5ml beginning then bump it up 8-10ml later. Oh wait you’re running an auto. I ran light feed till halfway through vegg when they were bigger then went to medium feed but that was with photo.

    I’ve wanted to try an auto but they seem to be a pain. I have enough drama dealing with my new family court judge I was handed after my previous retired and reversed everything the previous judge put in place 🤦‍♂️. An auto would piss me off while trying to keep my stress low lol.

      Autos are a pain lol until they aren’t. I’ll run an auto on an open side of a tent or a few in the greenhouse for a mid summer harvest but honestly the original photo version of any plant is so so so much better than the auto version it still feels like a waste lol.

        That’s kinda why I haven’t tried yet because of hearing that so much But trying fast buds photo fast flower series is kinda something I was leaning more towards in that aspect. best of both worlds time wise but idk how the grow went along the way. Sooo much to learn. I’m looking for a new indica strain (sativa makes me lazy and eat everything lol) to start the next run in Dots and canna. So much work this last run so a little break from that will be nice to just water feed.

        Here’s the deal. When I started growing I started with autos. With the fastbuds mix packs I could run a bunch of random strains. I did this with purpose, to learn as much as I could as fast as I could. Running 12 different strains at a time isn’t easy but I got the basics down pretty fast. That was the point. Now I have to move my big tent and have 3 months for another run before having to move it again. Autos seem to be the obvious choice right now. And honestly I have no complaints about them. I’m growing for myself, wife and my mother. We’re all heavy smokers and we haven’t spent a penny on flower since my first harvest 6 months ago.

          I veered off topic a little. I got like caugh syrup syringes from a pet vet, it’s kind of a pain doing 1ml at a time. 30-40 minutes in the morning trying to rush but you can get pretty precise dosage. I need to get those bigger one but I’m running dots this next run so hopefully less stress. Yeah same here just for my lady and I and whoever joins a smoke sesh. I’m saving all my receipts from the dispo to show her this is actually cheaper, we know what’s in them, pests/molds etc plus it’s ours “I” grew with love lol. She’s trying to pull the plug on another run but she’s not the one paying at the dispo get flower harvested 10 months earlier at street prices being only medical available at the moment. 🤫

    I ordered these on Amazon yesterday. 10 ml is way more than I’ll be using but they are thick glass and long enough to reach the bottom when I get there. Not bad for $9.

      Yeah, you got the good ones. There are similar ones, but they don’t have the even numbers and the marks are hard to read.

      Damnit. I spent too much time mixing not having those doing 1ml at a time of 5 nutrients. Off to Amazon I go.

      Oh nice! Got a link for those?

      So, how did the switch go? Any problems that you could see or did the plants act like nothing changed? I got the same switch coming up.

        @oldestschool I got them on Amazon.. I started this run of autos with GH. I went pretty light in the beginning but now in mid flower I’ve increased quite a bit with no burning. Will probably start the next run with a more aggressive feeding schedule. No complaints so far. Actually, I wish I had bought the gallon jugs..

    I used GH back in the day with excellent results. How ever I try to avoid them as much as I can now. They are owned by Bayer (Monsanto) and I hate those fuckers. I still use the ph kit because it just works
