Do you have a link to the program or spreadsheet you used to calculate and display your NPK/CA/Mg ratios? If I have time in the next few weeks to dig through my notes I’ll compare what you shared against the information I have. Thanks for sharing!

I dont , i was doing manually on piece of paper trying different combinations .

I used as a base the studies of Brian Whipker the professor from North Carolina State University he is most active in the cannabis world and Lynn Griffith from Harrells .

Based on the last studies about cannabis i had few starting points :

  • High Nitrogen until late in transition
  • Minimize the K not more then 1:2 in flowering N/K ratio , and keeping reasonable levels to not block Ca and Mg
  • Minimize the P as much as possible especially at the start of the flowering period , P is number one factor in stretching there is a ton of studies about that in contrary of the commercial hobby fertilizers i will try to cut it even more on 20 ppm P - 45 ppm P2O5 , when i will have time to do some updates
  • Keeping the K:Ca:Mg ratio close to 4:2:1 because of their ability to block each other , maybe just the Mg to pump a little its easy with the Epsom Salt 4:2:1.5 , Cannabis loves Mg
  • As much as possible N from Nitrate
  • Keeping the N in amounts of 100-250ppm ; P 20-25 ppm ; K2O 250-400 ppm ; Calcium 150-250 ; Magnesium 25-50 ppm ; Sulfur 50-200 ppm ; and micronutrients
  • Last 4 weeks of flowering on the lower side of EC
