I think Athena is pretty solid I add things here and there and always make profit. Why do you make your own blends unless profit margin is low? Or really finicky cultivars I am very small scale but at some point I have to “trust” that some one has done the research for me and I am willing to pay for that. I run 400-500 gallons in RDWC and change once a week. $50-80 a week in nutrients seems reasonable? Honestly am I missing something unless you can’t source those products in OP ‘s country.

Not hydrobuddy
I use a simple calculator
P205 x043 etc…
All of them make up the recipe are yara
I don’t use pekacide because I don’t have a microdrip line I work simple system ebb n flow
If I do 1g/w with yara calcinit and kristalon
Knows that it went very badly
The average and 1.15 1.20/w my best was 1.38/w
I think I can be better with your advice, I’ve already learned a lot in a few days, thank you very sorry for my English
grams per watt isnt a good metric. do you use ac to cool, how long veg etc is why.
No ac cool .
fan intake fan extra
3 week veg
6 plant for 600w
How is grams per watt not a good metric?

I’ve never intentionally tried to grow an airy bud. For any fungal problem, you will be better off if you focus on getting your sap pH up. Create conditions the fungus can’t grow in.

I used your recipe for week 2 to 7
Then I finish with the athena recipe week 8 and 9

I just got a response from fickle so ill respond to my previous post.= there alot more than gpw to quality cannabis and gpw isnt determined by nutrients. Genetics and co2. Co2/carbon makes up oer 90 percent of a plants biomass
