But I meant as what you are required to learn... soil just seem harder. If you don't get it right the first time with your soil mix then your fighting it forever after that. You got tater correctly. Up pot correctly. Brew teas. My god.. Son I'm tired just typing all that...

@mandalaman I dont know anything about NFTG so I couldnt tell you about what you may or may not use in exchange for the Calmg

as for taste

I def can argue agaisnt that

I have run plenty of soil and outdoor
and indoor

the only thing that soil did for me is cause problems when in a pot
for in ground
the Sun takes care of more oil and terpene production
but indoor soil
just bugs and problems

I was not speaking to it from experience, merely saying I've commonly seen that as an argument for soil. I'll defer to your experience :)

Here is the Demeter Destiny list any thought?

oh I didnt mean argue with you
I just meant that I could argue against that as it is a myth in my belief
outdoor is def different than indoor when sun grown You can def see a dif in terps and oil

as for the NFTG that looks fine....
I am sure that can work
use probably at the lowest rate

Hit the RDWC with a Foliar of the tea last night. They accidentally got a few more hours of sleep as I had unplugged the timer somehow last night. Oof!! Day 17.

Hey @Wisher619 I picked up some armor si. ...
silica... what your recommendation on use of it...
All thru the grow? How quick will it start working...

I drained the system as well as I could. Gonna run forakleen in it for 24 hrs then start bloom nutes for the first time... should I add the silica?
And I imagine I should add my bloom nutes and my floralicious and once it has leveled out then check pH and add si...
Wait for it to even out and adjust pH after that if necessary. ..

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
WARNING!!!!!!
Always add Si first before anything

silica will cause major ph changes as well as create "Nutrient Fallout" if not added BEFORE all other nutrients

so fill the res
add the Si and allow to circulate for about 30min
then add your nutrients
wait another 30min and then ph adjust

Si will shoot your ph through the roof
I use botanicare silica blast and I use at 4ml per gal that sets my ph @ 6.0-6.1
even with Veg+Bloom that I am using now
I hit the same @4ml per gal

every Si is different and more or less consentrated so you have to experiment to see how much to add

I would actually fill a gallon jug with ro and run the suggested Si and your base right now
and check it every half an hour

till it completely settles
that will tell you how much ph down you may need or how much less Si to use

I like the cell wall strengthening properties of Si but I pretty much solely ise it for ph with the added benni's
I run Si all the way up to 2 weeks before harvest
I do a first flush and allow
the medium to completely dry then I start feeding water only for the last 2 weeks

Every time I add nutes do I also add si, or do I just add it at change outs...
