oh golly, i barely understand GH... LOL i have a lot to learn this week... gonna need a bunch of time to read this week
First I'd get really good at simply using 3 part Flora Series and CaliMagic (which is a good ratio of Ca:Mg). Then I'd seal the room and move to CO2. Then again I run my canopy at 100 to 105 all summer without CO2 so I'm probably giving you bad information.

Carry on ;D

I've been using the flora for a year now amd it seemed all was well until it wasnt, switching back from c02... just isnt even feasible with how much stuff we got going on in there

Promix hp + flora trio is easy mode! Great way to learn. The ratios posted above all look totally on point so as long as you are watering the correct amounts at the correct time you should be golden. If a 3 part system is still too many moving pieces for you you could also run lucas formula. Its just 2 to 1 ratio of Flora Bloom to Flora Micro. Add 1 to 2 ml of Si and 5 ml of calmag. Ph to anywhere between 6 and 6.5 and you're golden.

I've used GH Flora since 1996. I have yet to find a better nutrient, not that there aren't equally good nutrients out there. My point is it takes time (more than 1 year) to learn this. There is a lot to experience and no organized education on it. I'd back off the CO2 for now if I were you and focus on what you're using. They are quality. AN had a lawsuit or two over their products not having what was on the label in the product, caveat emptor.

Excellent point, the three part is extremely versatile but can be a bit much in the beginning. There are other ways to use these flexible nutrients.

(Lucas ratio can also be achieved with either Flora Nova Bloom alone, or MaxiBloom powder alone, at a certain mL or gr per Gallon respectively. I'm just saying, because I remember playing around with it for a bit in the past. Just the one part/bottle, seedling or clone to finish.
There used to be a website, lucasformula.com or something, I don't see it now though.)

Another great point! I've run lucas with Flora nova before with decent success and and am currently closely approximating it with Jack's dry nutrients. I actually prefer it with bloom/ micro or dry nutrients because I do actually tweak the ratios a tiny bit during flower, but they all work really well.

^This, there are many good nutrients out there and many ways to use them to get a good harvest.

Open hood HPS power in the room. It's not like that often though only when I get caught off guard - I could see the resin piling on itself in defense..

Too much is destructive without counter measure.

The Mojave is nice - I live close to the Beach. We are like opposites! :blsmoke:
I grew up in Huntington Beach. I prefer the beach but work had other ideas.
