Well I know what the EC should be, how much do I make up with the pk? .5-1.0?

I've never grown in water so please dont take what I say as advice for your setup.

What I know from growing in coco is people will use at different times depending on preference. I personally use pk from day 1 flower. The ratios are important though. I use a higher ratio pk at the very start to give the plants the elements they need as a kick start. I know some will do similar from week 2. Pk is essentially a boost for flower for this reason I like to use throughout the flowering cycle, I drop to lower ratio pk after 2 weeks. Going by them ratios I'd be happy to use throughout flower till flush. Its go real nice low ratios.
Thanks for the advice mate, I appreciate it
My base feed has pretty much the same pk ratio, should I worry at all about possibly overdoing it? And what would be a good ml per liter to go with in your oppinion?

I'll start using in a couple weeks prbly

This is for coco?

What is recommended dosage on bottle?

As for over feeding, same as anything else, just keep an eye.
For dwc, but the bottle says 2ml/L
Seems like way too much IMO

If coco I'd be starting at 0.5ml per liter then and work up.

So after week 6 you completely cut off your pk and stick with base feed only?
