Master Blend for Marijuana questions and answers

If you're reasonably nearby, say within a neighbouring state or so, I'll deliver some to you when I harvest in a few weeks.

The user utilises a Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water due to the poor quality of the local water supply, which adversely impacts the plants. The user is seeking advice on managing the Parts Per Million (PPM). Currently, the PPM is kept around 650-750, and the user is wondering if this ratio should be consistently maintained during water additions to prevent it from dropping to about 500.
The user also queries about managing salt build-up and whether changing the water reservoir every week would help. The plants are currently consuming about 5 gallons of water per day, and the system can hold approximately 25 gallons due to the root-filled 5-gallon buckets.
The user suggests using a specific cleaning routine for the reservoir, involving flushing it occasionally with a cleaning agent, followed by thorough cleaning with peroxide and bleach between growth periods or if issues arise.
Towards the end of the growth cycle, the user tends to add boosters and reduce nitrogen levels, which they believe significantly improves the final yield. They also acknowledge that different fertiliser brands recommend different PPM/ECs, and there may be variations even within the same brand, which could impact concentration levels.

If you're reasonably nearby, perhaps within a couple of states, I'd be happy to bring you some in a few weeks when I make the cut.

An individual previously mentioned their feeding routine.
The message was sent via a Grasscity Forum application on their iPhone.
They later made some changes to their post and expressed their apologies for any confusion.
They proceeded to inquire about the level of Parts Per Million (PPM) you typically utilise.

The statement shares that they are ready to share some items in a few weeks, provided the recipient is within a couple of states' distance. However, the offer is acknowledged but sadly, the recipient resides in a less desirable region.

Hi, I've recently purchased and tested the Master Blend. I've been using it with a hydroponic system (ebb and flow) and osmosis water, following the program from Soil2Coco. However, I'm facing a significant calcium deficiency issue. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? Apologies if my English isn't perfect, I'm a cultivator from France.

I operate DTW using multiple feeds, typically resulting in 500-600 ppm at most. It's quite different from DWC.

I recently transitioned from using GH 3 part to Master Blend, supplemented with Epsom salt and calcium nitrate, along with flower fuel and potassium silicate. I have been sticking to a certain feeding schedule which has been effective so far. I'm now over 40 days into the flowering stage and the buds are beginning to droop and take on a very distinctive appearance, with an extremely high resin content that makes the buds stick to walls if thrown.
The nutrients in use are magnesium sulfate, calcium nitrate, and Masterblend 4-18-38 base. What I appreciate about this routine is the ability to adjust these elements throughout the plant's growth. Here is a breakdown of the regimen:
For the early vegetative stage per 5 gallons:
- 3g magnesium sulfate
- 6g calcium nitrate
- 6g Masterblend base
- 12 ml silica
- 12 ml hydroguard
For the late vegetative stage per 5 gallons:
- 5g magnesium sulfate
- 10g calcium nitrate
- 10g Masterblend base
- 12 ml silica
- 12ml hydroguard
For early flowering (week 3) per 5 gallons:
- 8g magnesium sulfate
- 2g calcium nitrate
- 8g Masterblend base
- Half dose of flower fuel
For the mid-flowering stage (weeks 4-6) per 5 gallons:
- 10g magnesium sulfate
- 1g calcium nitrate
- 10g Masterblend base
- Full dose of flower fuel
For the week before flushing:
- 5g magnesium sulfate
- 5g Masterblend base
- Half dose of flower fuel
Lastly, it's important to flush for a week or so, or until the ppms fall under 200. Although I have been following this schedule, I cannot claim it as my own creation.

It appears there might be a typo in your request as "opps" doesn't provide a clear context or meaning to paraphrase. Could you please provide a more detailed or corrected text?

HardDrive mentioned that they would bring some items over in a few weeks if the other person lives relatively close, possibly within a couple of states. They then expressed gratitude for the thought but stated that they unfortunately reside in an unpleasant state. This message was sent from their iPhone using the Grasscity Forum.

The issue emerged during the second week of growth and escalated rapidly.

Recently, I changed from using GH 3 part to Master Blend, incorporating Epsom salt, calcium nitrate, flower fuel, and potassium silicate. I've been adhering to a particular feeding schedule and it's been effective. I'm over 40 days into flowering and the buds are starting to topple over and develop an unusual appearance. Their stickiness is so high that a bud can adhere to a wall if thrown.
The core elements of the schedule include magnesium sulfate, calcium nitrate, and a 4-18-38 base of Masterblend. It's beneficial to adjust these quantities throughout the grow. For instance, in the early veg stage for each 5 gallons, I use 3g magnesium sulfate, 6g calcium nitrate, 6g Masterblend base, 12ml silica, and 12ml hydroguard. In the late veg stage per 5 gallons, I increase to 5g magnesium sulfate, 10g calcium nitrate, 10g Masterblend base, along with the same silica and hydroguard quantities.
At the start of flowering (week 3) per 5 gallons, I use 8g magnesium sulfate, 2g calcium nitrate, 8g Masterblend base, and half a dose of flower fuel. In the mid flowering weeks (4-6) for each 5 gallons, I increase to 10g magnesium sulfate, 1g calcium nitrate, 10g Masterblend base, and a full dose of flower fuel.
The week before the flush, I decrease to 5g magnesium sulfate, 5g Masterblend base, and half a dose of flower fuel. I then proceed to flush for about a week or until the ppms fall below 200.

Soil2Coco stated that they primarily use Deep Water Culture with multiple feeds, which typically results in 500-600 parts per million. This is a different scenario than Deep Water Culture.

They acknowledged the thanks and mentioned that they are presently operating at 650-750, which seems to be well received.

Appreciation is extended to the two contributors for the comprehensive program. The process demands the integration of different parts separately. First, a master blend is incorporated, followed by calcium, and finally magnesium. Each of these are added individually.
A question arises regarding the type of water to use - osmosis or tap water? A conversation with a hydroponics supplier based in Europe who sells Master blend revealed they simply use tap water. Could this be an area of concern? Perhaps the issue might stem from the use of osmosis water.
