Yes mine is a gel so I premix it in some water before adding. But you always add silica first then ph down to aboit 6.5 before adding anything else to it. If you look back in the thread you can see how much it raises the PH I took pics showing my tap 6.3 and after silica was 9.3 so you need to PH after adding it so when you add the other nutrients they dont precipitate out and become unavailable to the plants.
So how important is watering with runoff in coco? Is that to prevent salt buildup. and at that 10-20% runoff you are doing each cycle?
About 10% a cycle yes. I think most feel 10-20% a day is good but more doesn't hurt, its just a bit more wasteful. My nutrients are dirt cheap so for me I don't mind.
yeah i understand how that can be. I definitely dont want to be hit with any curveballs this grow. It has been going too smoothly the past few weeks. My plants have been so healthy and i've seen no deficiencies past 6 weeks after i fixed up my feeding schedule. I check everyday to be caught off guard by something how smoothly its been going.
Hi Aqua is that for soil (potting mix) to ph silica to 6.5 .if i was ph'ing the feed to say 5.6 in coco is better to ph the silica close to that.
Yeah massive is crazy priced but I use dry ferts. Its like a little more than a pennies a gallon or close to.
Yeah as long as you are below 7after silica I would say. From there you can always adjust at the end and thats what I do. Most nutrients will drop the ph a bit depending on concentration. The 6.5 i recommended was only for getting to an appropriate ph to add other nutrients. Should always ph again last
Im going to get some green planet in a couple grows.all the good things you guys are saying bout it and getting great results...you guys are like reps for the company..they would b loving it and it is cheap here..very suprising..
This is my second res... I have noticed this time I do have some precipitate or diatoms possibly. I'm leaning to diatoms as its not gritty. The original v1 megacrop was great and I still have it. This is my first time see it. I have to revisit this after a couple res fills. I dont think its from the nutrients but I think I may test it on its own and see.
The bottles not to much but the concentration is weak so you use a shit ton. 20ml a gal is the recommended dose.
With the seeds hopefully 3-4weeks they mature. As soon as they are mature im flippin. They just gonna need a lot of feeding later on
I’ll meet you at John Wayne anthem. We will smoke and hop on the flight to Canada haha.
I dod look into a bit but I honestly have no idea on the doses. That is also the only reason I am using massive. There i something to how its diluted. If you search the forums you will find quite a bit of info it.
I'll leave that headache for later, I'm already in the middle of 4 harvests in nxt 4 weeks and moving over to dry/own mixed nutes is already taking up a lot of spare time, but if I find any good sources in the mean time I'll post it here nd let you know
Thanks brother. Yeah you won't regret the price tag switching to dry ferts. Hydro buddy
