Cal/Mag at every feeding. LED's seem to drive the plant to require more calcium and magnesium than if I was growing under an HID light. Don't know why but it's just an observation that I have come to after a few grows.
My tapwater ranges from 20 - 80 ppm. I have an RO unit under my kitchen sink but the PPM is so low out of the tap I figure it's better to give them the tap water as it already contains some of the minerals it will need like calcium and magnesium. Our water dept doesn't overdo it on the chloramines so I can usually feed straight from the tap without having to "gas" the water beforehand to evaporate whatever chlorine the muni used to clean the water.
I don't bother measuring anymore because I can eyeball it pretty good along with using my PPM/EC meter. Cal/Mag, and Mono Silicic Acid if I'm using it at the time, go in first. Clone/Seed to veg I add a little Hormex and Voodoo Juice to get root development going but I don't really use much as far as amendments. I don't use bloom boosters or anything like that. Base and Cal/Mag for the most.
Simplicity is what I’m trying to achieve. I never used Booster before. I did a grow of 4 Double Purple Doja and failed miserably. I used some Hawaiian bud and bloom and completely fried them to the point of no return. So at 5 or 6 weeks of flower all the leaves were fried. I’m doing the Advanced booster this round and honestly I see no difference. But only time will tell. I just follow the charts and hope I can diagnose issue’s correctly when I notice them.
