    Mixing Nutrients

    Good afternoon family.

    I have learned an amazing amazing amount through the tutorials and the forum. Most importantly I appreciate the non-judgemental way you all answer questions for us newcomers.

    When I first decided to grow my own, I germinated some bag seed, mainly for practice. I am one of those people, that while I am avid reader I really need to do something before I truly learn it. I have ended up with one good plant and have been experimenting with the various methods in the tutorials. I hate to say it, but I have purposely caused, nute burn, light burn, under and over watering. I have learned the importance of pH and how to flush plants and how to manifold. My poor baby has suffered but as everyone has said MJ is extremely resilliant and it is doing fine. Started my 12/12 yesterday so I can see what sex it is and play with the flowering issues. I have 8 nice little colas started.

    Sorry I am so wordy but I wanted to show that I am truly trying to learn what you all have to say.

    Now to my question (finally). I expect my order of black jack seeds any day now and I need clarification on mixing nutrients. I have downloaded the coco coir nute schedule and will follow it to the letter. I know I need to start with the proper pH before adding nutes to the water but, it has been stated not to mix nutrients before adding to water. My take on this is I should mix one container of each nute then mix them just prior to watering. Is this correct or can I make a nutrient solution by adding each one on top of each other in one container? It is something I want to nail down before I do it for real on my good seeds.

    If I could I would send pictures but the system still doesn't allow me to upload from my phone and that is all I have. Done all I can do with the suggestions that have been given, so I guess I will wait for that bug to be fixed.

    Thanks in advance for any info you can give on the nute issue.
    It's not how crazy I am, but how much I enjoy it that makes me dangerous.

    They don't want you to mix your nutrients together before you put them in the water.... you can put all your nutrients in the same 5-gallon jug with your water.... mix it together then adjust your pH... you always adjust your pH after you mix your nutrients not before

          If you'd be willing to go through the trouble, a solution to your picture problem could be imgur.com

          You can make an account, then you can upload any picture you like and it will host it for free. It'll tell you to download the app for faster uploads, but you don't have to. then you can just go to your folder and open pictures separately and paste the urls in your posts. not quite as elegant as the attached photos, but it works!

                I learned that if i text or sms message myself the pictures i take of my plants for some reason when i save the pictures i text to myself, those are the pictures i am able to post to the forum. Not the ones straight from my camera album which always causes some messages to appear on gwe forum about being unable to upload or blah, blah. Just a very simple solution i didiscovered. Hope it works for you.

                No problem. Its neither here, nor there, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
