Ill take pics of the back of the bottles when I get home.

Liquid karma is a micro nutrient mix. Kinda gives you minerals that the grow and bloom nutes don't give and it also as humic acid. And it adds very little to your npk values. Imo likuid karma is a must have when using the botanicare line

Cal mag is good stuff too mainly used for ppl running ro but I use it with tap water too, it has some other goodies in it as well

Hydroplex is a bloom booster

Aqua shield is made from chicken poo. Its a compost mix mainly used in hydro I believe. I don't use it

If your using botanicare id use. Veg: pure grow, cal mag, liquid karma, sweet(optional) and for flower: pure bloom, cal mag, liquid karma, hydroplex, sweet

I already have a goodie pack of , sweet and clearex ordered.
When using the calmag, sweet, karma, and pro grow how much should I use per gallon?

It's pretty obvious that you don't have a TDS meter. Do you have any idea how high those feeding levels are?

I do have a tds and ph metter. Just got it actually, but no I havnt used that feeding schedule yet or tested it with my metter. I can assume it's going to be in the clouds?

The majority of your ppm should be coming from your base nutes, like maybe 80%. The rest of the ppm should be from your additives. I don't know that I would personally use that many products as that's quite time consuming to mix all those up. Plus, your results really aren't going to be much different even if you were using everything perfectly.

The important thing is mainly to not overfeed so find a conservative EC level and then work backwords as far as how much of this product and how much of that to use.

Agreed, I will just cut out alot of the other stuff. Stick with my base nutes, cal mag, karma, and maybe some bloom boster for fun. About EC levels correct me if im wrong, but what i got from reading is that its just another form of TDS or PPM? All means the same just different ways to right it out? Like .25 , 1/4 and 25% are all the same just expressed different ways.
