I've updated the nutrient recipe. The original was lacking in phosphorus, fiddling around with the numbers it was evident that it needed a different salt to boost P. The best thing for bringing p levels up is MAP.


Monoammonium phosphate

Campbells Diamond Special T - the base with trace minerals

Calcium Nitrate - instantly available Nitrogen and calcium

Monopotassium Phosphate - to bring Phosphorus levels up a bit for flower bulking

Magnesium Sulphate aka Epsom Salts, for lush green leaves



VEG
Special T (8.2-3.9-32) 0.70g/L
CalNit (15.5-0-0) 1.0g/L
MagSulf (0-0-0) 0.25g/L (+0.25g if deficient)
MKP (0-22.7-28.2) 0.25g/L
Brix Fix 1ml/10L
(Total NPK 10.89-4.31-15.10)
Approximately 1.6 EC. Use throughout veg until the 2nd week after flip.

EARLY BLOOM (Version 1)
Special T 0.60g/L
CalNit 0.50g/L
MagSulf 0.10g/L
MKP 0.20g/L
MAP 0.25g/L
Brix Fix 1ml/10L
(Total NPK 10.11-14.28-16.03)
Use from week 2-6 with indicas and 2-9 with sativas.
EARLY BLOOM (Version 2)
Preferably I'd use this one, but you will need to get some calcium chloride to sub in for the calcium nitrate. This is pretty much 1-3-2, which is the perfect ratio for early flowering.

Special T 0.70g/L
Calcium Chloride 0.25g/L
MagSulf 0.25g/L
MAP 0.50g/L
Brix Fix 1ml/10L
(Total NPK 9.67-27.69-18.67)

RIPENING / LATE FLOWER
Special T 1.0g/L
CalNit 0.40g/L
MagSulf 0.10g/L
MKP 0.30g/L
MAP 0.20g/L
Brix Fix 1ml/10L
(Total NPK 8.84-12.06-21.29)
From week 7-9 with indicas and 9-12 with sativas.

OR
Ripening (Version 2)
Special T 1.0g/L
Magsulf 0.25g/L
MKP 0.40g/L
Calcium Chloride 0.25g/L
Brix Fix 1ml/10L
(Total NPK 5.71-9.30-29.49)


A little trick which helps is using those little Chinese takeaway sauce containers to measure up the salts.

First weigh the salts in the container and mark where its at on the container, that way you don't need to be weighing it the next time. It's as easy as making a coffee ☕
