Master Blend for Marijuana questions and answers
-
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?

I typically operate DTW with several feeds, which generally maintains a range of 500-600 ppm at most. This is quite different from DWC.

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.

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.

The process of growing in soil involves using three parts of the masterblend. However, you should not combine the calcium with the masterblend and Epsom salts. First, blend the masterblend with the Epsom salts in your water. After that, add a bit more water before incorporating the calcium. Finally, add the remaining water and regulate the pH levels. Avoid mixing everything together at once as it can cause complications. This information might already be familiar to you, but I hope it's helpful nonetheless.

Hi, I recently purchased and tested Master blend. I'm using a hydroponics system with osmosis water, specifically the ebb and flow method, and following the soil2coco program. However, I'm facing a major issue with calcium deficiency. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Apologies for any language errors, as I am a grower from a non-English speaking background.

Soil2Coco mentioned that they usually administer multiple feeds, leading to a maximum of 500-600 ppm, which differs significantly from DWC.
In response from my iPhone on the Grasscity Forum, I expressed gratitude.
Currently, I'm operating at 650-750 and it seems to be well-received.

What's your measurement for parts per million? -

If you're reasonably nearby, say within a couple of states, I can deliver some to you when I harvest in a few weeks.

I operate a recirculating deep water culture system utilising reverse osmosis (RO) water, as our local water supply is approximately 350 PPM and contains chloramines that harm my plants. I'm left with no other option but to use RO, as even the taste of the water is quite chemical-laden and undrinkable.
Now, my query revolves around the ideal PPM levels. What should be the maximum limit to which I can increase the PPM? At present, my range is between 650 and 750.
Moreover, my plants are consuming about 5 gallons of water each day. With my current setup of bucket capacity, I can only accommodate approximately 25 gallons considering the 5-gallon buckets are entirely filled with roots.
Additionally, should I strive to maintain the 650-750 range each time I replenish the water? If not, I've noticed it drops to roughly 500.
Lastly, I'm concerned about salt accumulation. Would it be advisable to change the reservoir weekly to prevent salt build-up?
