In the quest to learn more about the growing I’m doing.
im trying to understand the NPK ratio a bit better.
Research shows the general consensus on NPK ratios for cannabis in Veg are 3-1-2 and for flower are 1-2-3.
I’ve been playing around calculating/adding NPK numbers together in their ratios to find out what the NPK of my final feed solution comes in at.
on paper I am finding that following bottle mixing instructions. NPK values are all over. Not following the 3-1-2 or 1-2-3 guide line.
Should I be tweaking mixing ratios to get to the final NPK I’m looking for? Is that how you track your formula?
now to make sure I got this right.
For a example of what I’m doing.
Take the Lucas Formula with GH trio.
standard mid is 8ML Micro and 16ML bloom /GAL. Right?
that’s 1:2 ratio.
micro NPK 5-0-1
Bloom NPK 0-5-4
should give me a complete NPK of 1.65 - 3.3 - 2.97 for my feed mixture right?
Safe to say that is a proven formula?
If you could replicate that NPK ratio or pretty dam close, using other manufacturers fertilizers would that be a safe road to go down?
