So i must have skimmed through this thread b4 and some reason never replied. Probably just stoned.
Anyways i have spent alot of time researching different ppm totals of each element in a lot of different brands.
A good youtube channel i will add a link to explains in detail much better than i could here.
That being said he was using a jacks blend or masterblend just tweaked a little.
I then tweaked that a little and have a formula you could run from veg all the way through to harvest. With only a small addition of monopotassium phosphate (MKP) during peak flower but that is a discussion on its own.
I made this up similar to jacks at 4:2 following Greengenes Garden in youtube. I have been using it until plants get into their big pots then i have just been using up old nutes that were given to me.
N- - 140
N+ - 7.2
P- 57
K- 222
Mg - 60
Ca- 125
S- 85
Fe- 2
Mn- 1.25
Zn- 0.71
Cu- 0.32
B- 0.3
Mo-0.131

I went down the exact same rabbit hole earlier, and I came to a similar recipe, this is what I used in flower. Can't complain with the results, although I'm sure it could be improved a bit, didn't bother with any additives either. This is a bit low in N, can simply swap the calcium chloride for more calcium nitrate for veg. I used Goonie's recipe in the budget thread for veg. For me it's not too much trouble to mix up an a&b stock solution each for veg and flower

I started indoor growing back in 1992 and I've tried way too many brands to even remember... For almost 8 years I grew in rockwool using only Canna, as well as a few additives, but like many growers I struggled with P.H balance, EC Levels.

I had all the tools you could get, P.H & EC pens for testing and PH up & down additives to keep things perfect. When I look back now I can't believe what was involved in having the perfect harvest...and I was getting bumper crops! I shut down for a couple of years, mainly due to bad luck with crappy strains and other circumstances. When I Started back up, for some reason tried Advanced Nutrients (Sensi grow & Sensi Bloom) and have never looked back. Their nutrients have never failed me and I've never had to test for P.H levels, EC level on any harvest, nothing! I just mix and feed... There is no leaf burn, no yellowing, no leaf curl, not one single issue other than rapid growth & huge buds. The price of Advanced Nutrients are insane here in OZ, but I'll never even try anything else ever again.

After 30+ years of trial & error, I now only grow using clones in coco with Advanced Nutrients. I also only use SOG method with perpetual harvesting.

Nice mate,

I have been getting back into growing after a couple years break, and decided to to use Diamond special T as a base as well while I get back into the swing of things instead of doing everything from scratch and I am having pretty good results as well. I am using the concentrated calcium nitrate which contains roughly 20% more Ca for the same N. probably would like to bump some micro's in future as well as having a ripening formula for the last few weeks. All in good time haha.

For people out there that don't know can get this stuff for 10 bucks a kilo and thats expensive compared to buying a 20kg bag.

Campbells Diamond Special T - 1kg

A NPK fertiliser specifically designed Australian Formulation to provide the required macronutrients and micronutrients for growing Fruiting/Flowering Plants.

I need 160 grams for a 200litre res. you guys do that math haha

Was somewhat worried about micros myself, but no noticeable deficiencies showed up for me

Yeh, probably not gonna matter too much for me. I'm not pushing my plants really hard currently with crazy light or c02
