OK.
small commercial grower.....sort of. I own the grow, but once I got my license, my illness hit me hard (weird something from my time in the Marines) So I had a grower working for me and as I got better, I let him handle the grow and I did sales and compliance. Now he is gone and I am back doing it all, and there is so much stuff I dont like that he did. We have never gotten the kind of yields that we should and overall decent product to smoke....but not great.
We grow in 3 gallon pots. Mother Earth coco perlite.
Athena Pro nutes (core, grow, bloom, balance, and cleanse) plus budbooster and floralicious plus
We added the two supplements because we were not getting the terps or flavor that we felt we should on the Athena alone.
Nutrients and RO water (well water is not usable straight) in 275 gallon totes
right now I went back to multiple waterings. he was doing 1 or 2 waterings a day only. I am now on a 5 a day fertigation (basically every 2 hours during lights on)
We really dont have great roots at all. When I harvested the last round....there were roots circling the pot....but break it open and there was almost none in the middle.
I am thinking of maybe getting rid of the cleanse (bleach) in order to maybe add some sort of microbes...Mycos? Recharge? Hydroguard? Something to help the roots.
ok, the questions.
1. Athena Pro is way more cost effective than bottle nutes were...but we are not getting the yields (probably my fault as I know I have a lot to learn still) and also not the terps and flavor. it all kinda tastes the same. the additives are helping....but I feel I am still missing something. Is this a problem with Athena? With all salts (Jacks, Mega Crop, Floraflex etc?)
2. should I ditch the clense and add microbes? Is there something else I should do for roots? Or am I over thinking this?
