You're right, I didn't even bother to read all of your posts. I could tell halfway through the first one that you didn't know what you were talking about because you didn't recognize the problem instantly.
The link to your grow confirms this... nice clean room though... perhaps you should head over to the grow room set up section of the boards and hand out advice there.
Having never completed a grow in coco before, how would you know?
Try calculating how much Ca and Mg is in that 1mL/gal
Cal-Mag you are adding compared to how much comes from the Pure Blend... you'll stop bothering to add
Cal-Mag and realize how naive you actually sound.
Over saturating a container of coco with well established roots??? You really think that is the problem? Enough so to take a condescending tone with me?
:smoke
Considering everything in my first post was correct logic and pertained to helping our friend, I don't see how I was wrong. I don't take things at face value, so trying to get more prudent information is not only wise, but always helps if it's available. My hesitance on helping our friend was in his best interests.
If you wouldn't have been so ignorant, you would have realized my explanation in my second post, due to the fact that your assumptions about what I said was misinformed and skewed. I clearly stated opinion and he "may" need more cal/mag but clearly stated his problem was in fact, something different.
Yes this is MY first time in coco, but have build 5 rooms all dealing with coco growing for friends which I dedicate my time to learning. All have been successful so your logic is once again fouled.
If you would have read my thread, I clearly had a fucked up ph meter putting my solution @ 4.1 for a week. Do to the fact that my plants are strong, didn't kill them. I have since corrected the problem and my plants are nice and healthy.
It is incredibly ignorant and dumb to say that there is one way to grow. People will ALWAYS have different perimeters and variables. I have been using
Botanicare for years and know my product. I did not need cal/mag in my old system with my Joeysweed Blue Apollos. They did great without it.
Cal/mags concentrations far outweigh Pro Blooms. Calcium alone is greater then 300% vs. pro bloom so
1/5th the recommended cal/mag dosage would result in 60% more calcium to the final solution. Remember, Boptanicare is not considered a "cannabis specific" fertilizer.
I am currently up to 2/ml of cal/mag per gallon. Why? because my plants need it jackass! How do I know this? I pay attention. Is it working? Yes! My plants are happy and LOVE the extra cal/mag I am adding. EVERY intelligent grower will state that everyones needs are different.
That basically makes your whole verbal diarrhea of a post null and void.
There are plenty of threads about rot and the fact that you CAN overwater the plant in coco. Why you would be no naive to think otherwise is beyond me. As stated, I thought it "MAY" be one of his problems, but was trying to fish for more info. He said he thought his medium might be over saturated, and being an adopter of less is more, and the fact that HE is the one taking care of his plants, could only come up with the logical reason to back off just a bit to make sure. Nothing wrong with taking precautions.
No I was not taking a condescending tone with you in my post so you are wrong once again. I clearly responded with my opinion on the matter and called you out on the fact that you misinterpreted my post. Maybe it's the fact that you didn't read it very well in the first place as admitted by yourself.
get off your ego because it is truly fat! Stop picking fights with people that are here to help. Instead of assuming something, have a logical debate on the issue and maybe we can find a solution to help a friend out.
Your plants may not need cal/mag, but mine certainly do. Is this the same for all coco growers? As clearly stated in my posts, no but it is for me.
Because of your ignorance, ego, and the fact that you don't read peoples posts clearly, yes I am now taking a condescending tone with you. If you don't read the information clearly and make a misinformed opinion on the matter altering peoples thoughts along the way, your going to get called out for it.
Did you bother to look at the post above yours? Antimatter seems to use it as well. I guess both of us are idiots to give our plants what THEY want.
