Not injecting teas but you definitely can. stopped using injectors because I cant figure out how to regulate pH...plus mixing reservoirs doesn't take that much timeYour injecting the teas? Very cool man, your killing it. What rate are you injecting your teas at?
I see. We balanced the alkalinity of the base water with the acidity of the salts. It comes out at 5.8 perfect for municipal water. Dolomite lime helps buffering capacity in the rhizosphere. Are you using the biowarfare at a specific ml per gal?
PH injector should be the first injector in the line
Did you find that royal gold has a really high salt content out of the bag? We did tests on their pure coco and found EC readings over 1.5
Canna was very low about 150 ppm
We use two concentrates injected at ~1:100, A: 13-2-13 plug mix B: 0-52-34 PEAK.
Media: CoCo Coir amended with dolomite lime.
Fertigate: One time daily, drain to waste.
Ph: 5.8-6.2
EC: .8-1.2
NPK: (Currently) 140-80-203
Background. We began a year ago using "Spurrs groundbreaking methods" with our injectors, NPK, 162-87-201, well as close as we could get with our concentrates, 160-81-220. Many of our genetics preformed just as well as they had before using GH, calmg+ and epsom salts, 5/5/7/5/2.5g (m/g/b/calmg/epsom). However, some strains that ran well before began to run terribly with our injectors. Our plants were producing pebble sized fruits encapsulated with leafs and the strains that preformed better were seemed to have a higher caylx to leaf ratio and less density.
Our second run we dialed back the injectors from 160-81-220 to 140-80-203. Our plants preformed much better this round, however there is still to much leaf development in flower, fruits are not as dense as they could be. Could this be because of P in excess of 70 is locking out other elements?
We are beginning our third round and are thinking of taking the extra K that is provided by the coco into account and lowering that number. We found that when we lower P, N becomes more available, has anyone else found this to be true? This round we are going to run 150-60-187, does anyone have an opinion of this profile? We need a profile that we can run daily to run off. Fwiw we considered running 97-60-105 because we have had success with it in the past.
Thanks in advanced for any input,

this is what we were going for
this is what should have been done.
the pH problem was due to salt buildup, which was definitely grower error. Unfortunately we never used the dosatrons again after that run...every other agricultural setting I've been in depends solely on dosatrons for their feeds and I can't wait to set them up again. @Capulator you could make your life easier than easy by picking a few of these up and mixing yourself some stock...
Already on deck with D14's, with a 1.5 HP irrigation pump, and a custom irrigation controller from this programmer dude.
3 500 gallon holding tanks to feed 700 plants veg, bloom or flush formula depending on stage. Hard lined sprinklers to beds. View attachment 445359
Dosatron who?! This thread is blowing my mind. Where the fuck have I been this a great device!
Do I even need a reservoir mixing tank with a dosatron build? Or can I just keep large amount of stock solutions with filtered water plumbed directly into the system??
that's lookin so nice...good call on the hardline, are the beds still mobile once they're plumbed?
You are using Jack's PlugLX with MKP?
Um. I'm really confused as to how you are getting all these numbers "140 - 80 - 203"
What exactly are you adding together/averaging to get all that?
I can tell you right away that your EC is too low for anything other than the smallest of plants regardless of how jigger around the application ratios.
Why are you using dolomite and epsom salts with those ferts at all?
Dolomite and epsom salts with PlugLX?? You are practically asking for micro-lockout... seriously...
See that? LOTS of cal-mag already on board. P isn't locking out anything it's the ton of calcium in three (four? I don't feel like doing the stoichiometry...) different ionic forms and the ton of magnesium in two different ionic forms.
And what is your water source? Are you using tap? Figure another 60ppm of calcium at LEAST...
You shouldn't have any problems with those two ferts all the way through if you use them right. You do need some MOST.
Up the EC to 1.4 - 1.5, drop the epsom and the dolomite, get some MOST and a silicon source. pH is good.

Yep. The beds tie together with unions and a piece of spaflex (flexible pvc). They are mobile back and forth for access in the room, and then they just disconnect when it is time to move them from room to room.
The holding tanks are just my way of micromanaging. LOL.
