P K Ratios

Post by Point 5 »

hello,

I'm looking at 2 bottles I have both with p and k. Both at different ratios.

So my question is why do we get different?

I've tried Google and its not helping.

Just a point in right direction would be appreciated 👍

some growers like a lower level PK they feel they can run for the duration of the grow without causing lockout. others will try and feed tailored PK levels at different times.

The different ratios should help decide how you want to apply a said PK in your grow.

So if using a A+B style base nutrient you would run a mid to low pk along side the A+B to create a PK heavier ratio through flower or people like to blast high level PK at different stages to encourage the growth they are looking for

I think GMO Answered the question :) I personally like to run my PK from flip,
and on my last grow I used 1 ml per L Rock Resinator PK (7-9) From Week 1 and they done very well. I would only recommend mid flower flush when using PK as it always caused salts build up.

PK 13/14 has been aropund since Adam & Eve is very cheap per liter at around £10. Other PK boosts with lesser numbers are said by makers to be tailored for weed plants only. Myself i think that`s a load of bollox and just gives the maker an excuse to charge £20 for 250ml. At end of shift whether is pk13/14 or 9/8 or whatever once it watered down those ratios go straight out of window different growers different amounts of water per liter or do i add 1/2 or 1ml per liter and such like which is another reason i think makers are talking total rubbish, not only thast plant takes in what it needs as and when.

Myself ive never used anything except pk13/14 @£10 a liter for many years, i add it at 1ml per liter for a week then 1/2ml per liter for 2 weeks starting around week 5 or 6 dependent on the strain, longer flowering strains i start them on it later and short flowering lesser type of thing, works for me.
