No i take as a good thing. Anything that makes me question why I do is a good thing.

You learn from the soil or get frustrated with it and throw it out lol....
I see the latter in your future. You will end up with all hydro... :)

 

[EventHorizan]

I'm gonna have a nice harvest boys... I should go snap a few pics of the family and check ec/ph.
Haven't seen the girls today...
Can't believe I don't even look at them for a dsy. Used to couldn't go an hour lol....

 

[EventHorizan]

Some quick pics.. Im trying to do video. Like a mins worth but i guess i need to convert in from mp4 to mpeg before it will let me upload. I dont have a converter and dont feel like searching for one... So here is pics. At least i finally learned how to upload multiple pics at once! :)

Ill feed either RO plus AgSil plus NFTG or water with RO plus AgSil plus MammothP

if you are using super soil
you arent supposed to be feeding them anything
you also arent supposed to be using ro water
throw some tap water in a bucket and bubble it for 24 hours o kill the chlorine and water
hell you really dont even have to do that

feed the soil tea at least once a week
ewc tea which is easy
1 cup ewc and 2 tbs molasses in 5 gal water and bubble that for 24 hours
and feed

super soil is there to be completely organic
no feeding any type of nutrients
sugar to feed microbes but nothing else

Ok, makes sense. The MammothP and silica (which i didn't add to the soil ) should be fine then, right? I hear you on drop the NFTG.

I'm brewing a tea right meow actually just molasses, ewc and ogbiowar root/Foliar.

What do you think is causing the drooping?

could be anything
did you make the soil yourself
if so ....how long did you let it cook for?

mammoth p should be fine but I wouldnt do the silica
the Tea should be good

if you are feeding biowar and ewc
you dont need mammoth p

again remember
no ro water either

One is coast of Maine stonington blend.

The other I made I can't remember how long but I had some activity santas beard et al. Prior to potting with it. It was hp pro, perlite, insect frass, alfalfa, crab, ewc, forest humus, lime I think that's it.

Why not the silica out of curiosity? The benefits seem to be positive it costs essentially nothing and makes me feel warm and fuzzy :)

And my tap is pretty high almost 1ec ... is that ok?

when I made my super soil I used my tap
800ppm's
I use that tap for my outdoor as well

the reason why I say no silica is it changes the ph
it is strong

super soil is meant to be feed pure water and nothing else

but experiment and see what happens

Yes it does shoot the pH up quite a bit. So bubbled tap water that's it? I'll try that out.

yes

so yeah tap has plenty of micros and whatnot as long as there is plenty of macro in the soil and you constantly feed microbes to help break down the macros

Hit them with Heavy 16 Foliar last night at lights out. Here's a shot of them literally just waking up. Lights went on 8min ago.

why no ro water in super soil?

 

[THELORAX802]

here it comes....................

 

[mandalaman]

I would think RO might flush the system and mess with the microbial ecosystem?

 

[Wisher619]

RO water will leach minerals from the super soil
charge the RO with CalMg to around .3 ec or 150ppm 500 scale

if you charge the water it will be fine

the only problem is you are adding n to the water which you shouldnt need with super soil

you can also charge with MgSO4/epsom salt
adds Magnesium and sulfur which is good

just something to add a charge to the water
