No like this. It shows the individual nutrient break down. If you go to the 2 part one you can see exactly how changing the ratios affects each individual nutrient. When you add it to hydro buddy you can plug in your water report and know exactly where you sit using your tap water. I always need to add magnesium to bring my calcium to magnesium ratio to where I want
Just up for a few mins then back to sleep im working a couple shifts a week at the plant now on top on my normal work. Will grab some pics once I get down there when I get up.All caught up here wow lot went down in a 5-6 days ! Lol good stuff
How them plants bouncing back ?
They both grow plants. In a small tent, like say a 2' x 2' x 4' a square pot will provide more soil for the roots to grow.Anyone has any opinions on square vs round pots?
Sorry if this is the wrong place but I just didn't think it was important enough to start a thread about.
We need a quick question thread.
It's a tiny plant, just in terms of root structure, does it make a difference?They both grow plants. In a small tent, like say a 2' x 2' x 4' a square pot will provide more soil for the roots to grow.
More roots + bigger buds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's a tiny plant, just in terms of root structure, does it make a difference?
That doesn't answer my question nor does that even mean anything.More roots + bigger buds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Square pots have corners. Roots are all wtf.That doesn't answer my question nor does that even mean anything.
In terms of root structure, does the shape of the pot matter?
Please elaborate.Square pots have corners. Roots are all wtf.
I thought I had seen square in karate kidSquare pots have corners. Roots are all wtf.
I think. If someone is like "no you're wrong i explain" then cool but i thought that was why bonsai pots are rounded at the bottom or maybe I'm dumb.
I have never had a problem with square pots or the plants roots navigating the pot. If you take a close look at most square pots they have a radius in the corners so they are not really square. More roots is associated with a better overall harvest, or that is at least what some seem to think. YMMV.That doesn't answer my question nor does that even mean anything.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for.I have never had a problem with square pots or the plants roots navigating the pot.

Ah ha! I was wondering why part B of front row ag developed a "wet" texture to it. I wasn't sure what was causing it to be hygroscopic. Once I put it in an air tight tote, it seemed to stop pulling moisture. Luckily it didn't get rock hard or anything, but it certainly picked up some moisture while living in the original bag.
Do you follow manufacturer recommendations for making concentrated solutions or do you throw n parts salts into h parts water, then determine the volume you need to use from that concentration? If the latter, have you noticed any issues with more water soluble varieties hitting a field capacity (maximum concentrated level by volume) at a certain ratio?
I spoke with front row ag, asking how I could make concentrates and the numbers they said to use for salts-per-gallon seemed way too high. Something like 880 grams part A to one gallon and 900 grams part B to one gallon. What are your thoughts?
Like you, I'm sick of dumping little bits of salts here and there whenever I weigh out, which is weekly and soon to be every few days. Having a liquid concentrate would be much more time and resource efficient.

In terms of root structure, does the shape of the pot matter?
Shape is far less important than height vs diameter. Every media has slightly different water column properties and different water tables or saturated zones. In most cases pots that are slightly taller than they are wide is preferred unless using root pruning smart pots or fabrics in which case Id prefer about equal height and width, or for larger pots slightly wider than they are tall. Round, square, triangle, doesnt matter. Just dont plant them in a spherical containerImo if it holds media it works.
Makes perfect sense.Shape is far less important than height vs diameter. Every media has slightly different water column properties and different water tables or saturated zones.

I'm planning a micro grow and I was planning to use a pretty shallow container. Can I not use soil in it?Should also point out that with media that uses smaller containers like wool and coco that has excellent air holding capacity even in the saturated zone, and gets fed multiple times a day, it makes very little difference at all.
The only thing you really dont want to do, is use very shallow and wide pots with something like promix or soil because the roots will stay in the lower O2 saturated zone for too long. Not an issue with coco or wool, hence the use of slabs in hydro.
Otherwise @gorillaglueaaron, i dont really think the shape of the rootball makes all that much difference with the moderate differences in pot shapes and styles.
