They all look good but my Uc is in kill mode right now. Its no joke. The Uc out paces them 2:1.
I started giving my coco ladies the left over tea mix, in the rez with their food and they look healthier as well. Tea FTW
Prodigy, I was using Cal-mag/magi-cal early on with old left over advanced and things seemed below average. I wanted a one part, I scooped the cns17 coco and tried it alone. I have not added cal-mag or magical and my plants look fantastic. When they seem a little hungry or I notice anything odd I up my feed strength, and no more issues. I have read many articles and studies about coco and calcium lockout. The main problem is its not flushed proper. I drain to waste with 20-30% runoff and see no issues? I also add a touch of epsom every few waterings.
Do you think its that they need more calcium or they just lock out?
For bloom I'll run the cns17 bloom/ripe. Epsom up til week 5-6. I will also continue adding left over brewed tea to my coco rez.
Since there is a small amount of nitrogen in the ewc tea should I discontinue it later in cycle or is it so minor its irrelevant?
Sounds good man. I have never feed pure or straight water. Just mix feed and splash it all over those bitches... lol they tell me they like it but I keep waiting for one to get pissed. hahaha
My tea is a simple worm cast, aquashield, ancient forest humus, and a shot of molasses, brewed for 12-24hrs. Not really sure how much nitrogen is in it? Ill take a ppm reading and see if its high in tds since I use r.o. water for the brew...
No problem. I was pissed about the difference in flavor and potency that I could not pin down. Turned out to be micros, specifically iron.hmmm, good call dankw. Funny you said that because thats what I see here and there. I started adding tea and Im getting a little shine here and there but would really like to hit this off proper! Im gonna read your info..
On the one plant acting funny, that spine is pronounced fer sure, and the leaves are curling down a touch but the stretch and stalk seem fine. Looks underfed and over watered a touch but I know its not. I was thinking Iron or sulfur, but what you said, now make total sense to me..
Thank you.
yeah i use mineral matrix for ph down it has a bit of nicros in itCNS-17 lacks micros. You really need that iron. I ran several cycles and always wondered what was missing. Long story.
Short version, get a micro mix, add to your cns-17 at the ratio of around 5 ppms iron.
Your plants will get the bright green spine that they are currently lacking.
Micros. For reals.
Why I make my own copy of cns-17 veg, but with more epsom, and micros. Check out the tutorial if you want over in the nute threads.
Purple spines, huh?
