Well I think im figuring this EJ stuff out. It needs to bubble for 2 days, for sure. And it needs to bubble for 2 days over 65f and it has to start at 4ph or above. Im going to need to incorporate a bit of well water with my lakewater to bring the starting ph above 7.5 in order to hit a solution ph over 4 to get the bennies activated.
Also ill be seperating some of the products for seperate applications. Next feed will be just grow and a dash of bloom. The feeding after that itll just get catalyst. After that, Grow/bloom again... etc. Having everything in the res simply makes it too sour. And having a lot of insoluble nutrients should make feed cycles with just catalyst totally fine without causing any osmotic stress.
But the plants look awesome today. They are doing a lot of up and down leaf movement and have a nicer shade of green to them than they did yesterday morning. I dont think they enjoyed sleeping out in the cold.. But bumping the temp both lights on and off up to 27 or so has really helped i think.
Currently getting a sulphur burn for an hr and a half. Cant skimp on ipm this time of year.
Earth juice is starting to foam and has gone from 4ph to 4.4 overnight. Should hopefully be up into the 6's by tomorrow.

@beluga check this out. Liberty caps are almost done for the season but these beauties are just starting to emerge. And they're everywhere.... This place is covered in them.
Ive always been too nervous to try these things. Have you ever heard of a proper method of consumption besides feeding them to reindeer and then drinking the reindeers piss?
