I ate some chocolate like a dumbass and my crohns is fucking fucked right now but thanks, Cap, this is hella badass. I'm going to lay down and lose hard and try to digest this while I pay for being a dumbass.
Fuckin awesome post Cap. Thanks again.
That's like a 5-1-5.4 on Fatman's DTW bloom values.
Is he talking rockwool, peat? I remember his coco values were a direct copy of CNS-17 soil/coco @ 2-2-3 for a 1:1.5 N:K ratio.
That is a ton of N with Fatman.
The Yosemite Sam flowering formula has 1:1.6 N:K ratio.
I liked 1:2.5 best, copying JK. Also have ran 1:1.5 and 1:1.6.
Maybe think about boosting K last 2 weeks past 1:1.75?
Your strain is probably not as leafy as mine.
I cannot go without silica with my cultivar. I should hook up that aquarium ph controller.
Dude that flushing technique is pretty trick. I think I will have to give that a try.
Thanks for all the info Cap.
fatman runs aero DTW. Those are his ratios and he dilutes like 1:100, but ratios are ratios. see how much iron he is running? Also Boron.
I flush the YS way with my coco base don this same post. I drop out the N and justy add a little of everything else for a week, then just RO the last week. they fade out pretty good and smell great when they finish up. I am using more sulfur. At least 100ppm in every formula. I am pretty much out of jacks so I have some potassium nitrate and magnesium nitrate on the way and then I will be able to manipulate a little better.
"I run elemental N-P-K-Ca-Mg at 100-75-75-110-40 and add a little more Ca as an amendment. I do that through stretch and then, based on what I see, give occasional bumps of mpk. I use CaNO3, ammonium phosphate (to control media pH vs the alkalinity of my water), epsom salt, mpk, a micro package called STEM, a little iron dpta and a little Zn edta.
May I recommend getting the salts if possible. You will end up wanting to play with the N:K ratio eventually. That is harder to do with Jack's.
With Jack's you would need (I think)
Jack's
epsom
cal nit
are micros in Jack's?
or
epsom
cal nit
k sulfate
k nitrate
mkp
micros
and then follow the grams/gallon, don't be afraid to bump your iron/micros up to see what happens.
I think Cap has experience and specific knowledge about Jack's and coco mixes.Yes, Jacks 5-12-26 has micros in it. I agree with you that going with salts and rolling my own is the way to go eventually, but for now I just want to keep things on the simple and repeatable side- plus I have over 30 lbs of Jacks to use up- not to mention some 65 lbs of calcium nitrate.
If you- or anyone- could, help me out with a specific mix to use?
I think Cap has experience and specific knowledge about Jack's and coco mixes.
I believe he has a room with rdwc and coco/perlite all espalier'ed out against the walls, but am not 100% sure.True- he's the guy who got me onto it in the first place. Does he run coco, or just straight water- do you know?
Yeah dude and then if you ran big plants that needed higher ppms, you would be short on the K you needed.
Because if the coco let's say contributes x ppms of K, then as the ppms go up, the K ratio would then be reduced proportionally.
Wouldn't work for my hater mix(chow, 24% coco)(fuck you kushtrees!);)
For people employing 100% coco medium with smaller plants/smaller containers, I could see how this strategy would work.
Would you guys offer a Jacks and Calcium nitrate ratio for me to use while I get my coco legs?
