How much CropSalt Granular to mix into your substrate at planting, based on pot size, and how to finish with Cake in the last 2 weeks of flower.
01 / granular at planting
Mix Granular into your substrate before planting. The rate depends on pot size: total Granular = pot size × the rate for that size. Rates are grams per gallon of substrate.
| Container size | Granular rate | Measure against |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10 gallons | 50 g / gallon (60 g in 1-gallon pots) | Substrate volume |
| 10–20 gallons | 40 g / gallon | Substrate volume |
| Above 20 gallons | 30 g / gallon | Substrate volume |
Quick measure / total granular per pot
| POT (gal) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grams | 60 | 100 | 150 | 250 | 350 |
| POT (gal) | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grams | 400 | 600 | 800 | 750 | 900 |
Cake for the final 2 weeks
Use Cake at 3 g per gallon of water during the final 14 days of flower (the final 2.5 weeks when flowering runs longer than 9 weeks): 1 gal = 3 g, 5 gal = 15 g, 10 gal = 30 g.
Use RunClean with every feed
Use 0.2–0.4 mL per gallon as a descaler. When using RunClean in place of pH Down, add it until you reach your target pH.
For containers with runoff
Heavier applications and/or a second Granular application may be needed.
