Instructions:
For those who are familiar with the GH standard formula, which is half of the recommended dosage and is typically proven to be too high for growing cannabis. We strongly recommend using the amount listed above and if the plant happens to show signs of deficiencies, you should first check the pH balance, which will more than likely resolve the issue.
If your plant continues to show signs of nutrient deficiencies and if the pH level is correct, you should then increase your amount of nutrients, which should never increase the amount recommended by GH Flora. For those using coco coir or reverse osmosis water must add magnesium and calcium supplements. If you happen to be using tap water, it’ll likely already contain more than enough magnesium and calcium. (See the standard instructions below)
