Hi I use both GH cocotek and soon to be using botanicare coco bricks (shops don't carry gh anymore). This is what I planned to do to prepare the bales: Expand in hot water Rinse with hot water to flush salts Charge with calmag (how much?) Integral hydro says use 700 ppm calmag solution...

Yah ill give it a shot! Thx. I haven't grown in like 4 moinths and I forgot how good it makes me feel to have plants going!! Miss lurkin on these boards have learned so much.

Looking again I think I maybe being overly paranoid.this is my first go with coco and am just trying to make sure things go really well . I will keep a close eye on them, continue with maxigro and possibly add a little bit of cal/mag but already maxigro has cal and mag so I dunno. It has a lot...

Hmmmm... So ppl run maxigro in coco and they do ok? Think I just need to add calmag then? I was under impression maxi has lots of cal and mag

Hi all. I am growing in 100% gh cocotek. I am in wk 2-3 veg.I am running maxgrow at 900ppm. No cal/mag. I am getting light yellowing of new growth. I think I need to switch to maxibloom b/c maxigrow is too high in N and K. I will feed with 800ppm maxibloom + 200ppm botanicare cal/mag in attempt...

Be careful I got bad root aphids from rice hulls by PBH but that's prob cause the supplier left open packs sitting in parking lot

I have two foliar sprays 1. Fulvic + silica + floralicious plus + dish soap 2. Fulvic + silica + aussie tonic (b vitamins and NAA) + dish soap I read somewhere that the cytokins in kelp will hamper the positivies of NAA so I spray each every other day in veg. I'm not sure if this method...

Thx, good tip. I'm on 24/0 and was thinkin of going to 18/6 ... GoTta rig up the heater tho hopefully it don't dry the room out too much

You can also manipulate water temps to push your plant.. I.e. Colder res temp in flowering to stimulate reproduction. Sorry to throw centigrade at you but the region I work in is 18 celsius at lowest, 24 celsius at highest. Remember lower temp means more oxygen so I shoot for 20 celsius at most...

Hi all, Veg room sitting @ 25%rh.. No in or out, co2 @ 800ppm and temps are ok but still too high for low rh. Don't think co2 is working at these low humidity levels. I can't afford a gh humidifier till next run. I have an xtra fogmaster jr. Does anyone hink it is a good idea for me to rig it...

hi, i searched spectracide on ebay and i get alot of results, different kinds of products, some liquid some granule, some for roses etc. can you tell me which is best? btw i have some merit coming ... i hit them with 21.4% imid w/ marathon 2 and they are still here 2 days later but im told it...

i find people reach for the systemics way too quickly. not sure if eagle 20 is? but good ol azamax does the trick for me and sulfur sometimes too. havent seen PM in awhile and i live in the PNW.... humid all the time.

actually i root drenched them with Azamax and turned temps down as well as let them REALLY dry out and i dont notice any root aphids upon quick inspection. they were definately RA's before, they are gross buggers, and im sure i still got em... i dont even see any fliers anymore\. Im still hittin...

hi all i have root aphids bad i have some marathon II which is 21.4% imidacloprid. What dosage should I use for plants in soilless mix, as a drench?? thx

With smart pots or any air pruning pot you can save a bit on medium as a smaller smart pot is equivalent to a larger regular pot. I have a schedule for vegging in regular hard pots that may help you decide what size smart pot you may need. But keep in mind you don't need to do as many...

Does anyone know if perlite is a suitable medium to grow trees in? I'm not ready to jump into water culture just yet and pure soil is just tooooo slow for me. I've grown smaller plants in pots of perlite but not sure if it is stable enough to support a 1 lb plant even with staking and/or tomato...

salt will build up i think bc of lack of runoff. in dirt (peat mixes) i'd run 1/4 str w/ drip clean ... in coco i dunno.

Can you elaborate on the above comment on Cal/mag plus used in transition stage more? im not sure if you mean it should be cut back or used more. i remember erik biksa wrote he reccomends a foliar calmag spray during the first 2 weeks of flower / stretch. i got a cheap grotek brick from a...

Wow Sea-maiden 20mls/gal!! Ok, I'll give it a shot... thanks again. lovin the rice hulls

So I have grown in peat-based soilless and soil mixes. I am tired of buying the big overpriced dusty promix or sunshine bales which are shipped across the country and are non-renewable and half the time have sticks in them. Not to mention I want to reuse the medium and peat based mediums tend to...
