Building a Simple, Reliable Nutrient Schedule
A reliable nutrient schedule is boring — and that's exactly what you want. Simple, repeatable, adjusted by observation.
The Minimum Kit
Two-part base (Grow + Bloom), CalMag, and pH Up/Down. That's genuinely all most growers need for consistent healthy plants.
EC & pH by Stage
Seedling: EC 0.6–0.8. Veg: EC 1.2–1.6. Bloom: EC 1.6–2.2. pH 5.8 in hydro/coco, 6.3 in soil. Measure every feed.
Read the Plant, Not the Bottle
Manufacturer feed charts are starting points. Yellowing lower leaves = N deficiency; burnt tips = overfeeding. Adjust by 20% at a time.
