Yeah with ff. Always use half of what any of their stuff calls for. Their stuff is ok, it’s just all hotter than hell. I use general hydroponics cal mag. Not nearly as crazy. Who did you end up going with? I used ff for years, but recently went back to advanced. Wish I went back sooner. I do t even use their soils anymore. It’s just not the same stuff.
Now where have I seen this before? Hahahaha. Yep. Been there buddy.
Man, it’s a double edged sword bro, flushing In soil can be a slippery slope, but it looks like you sorted it well. I’ve always found with a heavy flush late in growth, the medium stays waaaaay too wet as well. But I can tell this ain’t your first rodeo. That preemptive flush looks like it did good. Has the plant started to show any deficiency at all post flush?
If you throw that bottle of sledge hammer I’ll try to snipe it from here…..on the count of three…….really, put some elbow into it
Haha should have guessed the company that includes a flush in their schedule would have some pretty hot nutesIf you throw that bottle of sledge hammer I’ll try to snipe it from here…..on the count of three…….really, put some elbow into it
Nope not any, but I air rate the soil after each watering, I use a metal prob to punch holes in the soil to help it get oxygen to the roots and to help it dry out faster. I actually see the soil drying out much faster after the flush then before the flush. I also check ppm before flush and then add that ppm back into the media at the end of the flush. This could be keeping things in balance.
It’s really wild, and counterintuitive. I hate it, because an otherwise great novice grower can get kneecapped by that stuff. Imagine the new grower who doesn’t have the luxury of a forum to haunt, that do all their own studies. And follow that chart. A lot of the times, new growers would do better without the stuff. It makes learning the fundamentals increasingly more difficult. Causes newbies to second guess everything. I wish they would readjust their feed schedules to be about the grower, and not their bottom line…..
Day 29 that's usually how mine look at that point also, then by day 35-40 I start getting the magnesium deficiency. Keep an eye on that and if you see it flush refeed, the sledge hammer flush wasn't enough for me to avoid the deficiency, I had to put 10 gallons of water through it to get the ppm levels down. The good thing about the flush is you don't miss a feed, as you flush then feed in one go.
Nice!
I'm keeping an eye on them. Haha ready for it all to blow up any minute... fingers crossed it stays just planning and not acting on it
really nice shape on that girl (I am a leg man!)
Lookin clean! You thinkin about putting in some new trees or leave it open?One tree gone…..I hate it. But it needed to happen. Now they are into the monsters in the back. Race car is now fucking safe.
I’m gonna leave it open. I may take a saw and cut an asterisk in the stump, pour a gallon of milk in that bitch, to drive decomp, then I’m gonna plant a hibiscus in the stump. Way easier to manage.
I like it! Innoculating the stump with some mushrooms would help decomp too.. but maybe slower than milk lolI’m gonna leave it open.
