This is my first grow trying it. So far it has helped all in vegetative state grow multiple bud points or colas I believe. If you can look at my past posts I have come a looooooong way. Here are some pics attached from last grow when I just used nutes and distilled water. This crop are the healthiest ever for me. They are about a week till I pull them. Then you'll see the current crop that has just entered flower phase about two weeks going into three. But I'm very much a novice and open to suggestions. Is cal mag a bad thing to give twice a week? I have a very, very bare bones economically friendly setup. Last pic is of the whole crop. Also these are Autoflowers by the way.
Mother Earth Coco plus perlite mix and Brut super soil.
If you are using distilled water then yes I would use calmag every watering. Is there something wrong with your tap water?
Okay. I waited till week two and gave the three that just entered flower a sip. Not a full watering. And I diluted the nutes to about a 1/4 of the recommendations on the bottle. So they'rlve only had one feeding. Was going to give a second feeding on Wednesday. Should I skip till week 4? They are Autoflowers so trying to maximize growth.
Dont mix soil and coco
Yes. I live in older apartments so the water is no good. We don't even drink the tap water ourselves. I was using Ozarka Spring water but it's expensive buying weekly. These girls drink a pint every other day. The bigger girls drink about a pint every day. When I did some research most people say use distilled water. And it's only .89 a gallon so I made the economical choice. I do fill my empty jugs with tap water and I let it sit about 5 days then the smell of chlorine dissipates.
Argh! I swear I read one thing and then I hear another. Eek! Wish there was just a uniform blueprint for growing mediums. And particular reason why? I did 1:4 ratio coco to soil. I read mixing a small amount of coco with perlite was great for drainage and would help dummies like me who had a heavy watering hand.
