Awesome, great to know! Here’s a current pic…do you think it’d still be a good idea to add one shot and ewc? I can go grab some today.i use #4 soil, my trick for seedlings is a tsp of one shot and table spoon of ewc top dressed as soon as first leaves form. this will normally carry them through till transplant. You really don't want to be adding the herc at this point.
yeah, throw it on top, then just water when its time.Awesome, great to know! Here’s a current pic…do you think it’d still be a good idea to add one shot and ewc? I can go grab some today.
Btw… I JUST watered, so would probably need to wait a few days.

Those look overwatered; or at least they were at one time. The orange perlite is a dead giveaway. Did you ever weigh a fully saturated cup?Awesome, great to know! Here’s a current pic…do you think it’d still be a good idea to add one shot and ewc? I can go grab some today.

Cool thanks. Just picked up One Shot and some EWC. I plan to top dress the ewc next watering but wait until I pot up to add One Shot to the soil.yeah, throw it on top, then just water when its time.
lol I knew you were going to say that. They haven’t been overwatered. The perlite looked like that when I watered the first time, probably from the Herc Harvest because I had to add a lot of Herc to bring PH down. Yes I weighed a dry cup it was around 160g, gave about 60 grams of water to each one after they were completely dry.Those look overwatered; or at least they were at one time.

the one shot will take time to break down. i would add them both now. you dont need to wait till next water. if the soil is moist it will start working. the two work really well together. the molasses coating on the one shot will feed microbes in the ewcCool thanks.

Was that 220g completely saturated to runoff and wait till it stops leaking to weigh? How does bone meal lower ph? Seems like that would raise it. What do you use to test ph?Cool thanks.

Herculean harvest will lower the ph but he will need to use too much of it.Was that 220g completely saturated to runoff and wait till it stops leaking to weigh? How does bone meal lower ph? Seems like that would raise it. What do you use to test ph?
So would I just sprinkle a few one shot pellets on top then cover them with the ewc? Or should I dig up the soil around the top and try to mix them in? I’m assuming I wouldn’t use a whole teaspoon of 1shot per solo cup right?the one shot will take time to break down. i would add them both now. you dont need to wait till next water. if the soil is moist it will start working. the two work really well together. the molasses coating on the one shot will feed microbes in the ewc
yeah, few drops out the bottom of the cups. I use a PH pen to test.Was that 220g completely saturated to runoff and wait till it stops leaking to weigh? How does bone meal lower ph? Seems like that would raise it. What do you use to test ph?
Ain’t that the truth lol. I was like “holy crap I’ll use the whole bottle just for water days” but then was told to try Gaia Mania to lower PH on water only days. I hope it works better.Herculean harvest will lower the ph but he will need to use too much of it.

Perfect! … and yeah you’re right I will go pick up some hades down tomorrow.i use a tsp of one shot and 1 tbls of ewc per solo cup. one shot first and cover with ewc.
Gaias mana is going to be alot of food for those seedlings, do you have another way to lower ph?
Damn that looks phenomenal. So you don’t feed the nftg until transplant, just filtered water, one shot and ewc in #4 soil?Here is a better picture
Yup, even then I will add more one shot and ewc, then just light feeds till flower. I use the demeters about twice the recommended dose, its key to getting enough mag to the plant. Here is my latest grow diary if you want to check it out. I vegged them way to long but they are looking great right nowDamn that looks phenomenal.

Good to know about the DD for mag boost. I’m curious what your soil PH is. And if lowering it would better allow the calcium to chelate the magnesium. I’m sorta expecting some mag issues myself.Yup, even then I will add more one shot and ewc, then just light feeds till flower.

Are you also using NFTG? What is your soil PH after a couple months? Also what’s your water ec?View attachment 1272590
imo you are wasting time and energy, probably doing yourself more damage trying to pH buffer your soil grows. My tap water comes in at 7.9-8.1 and I do not adjust EVER.
