carbload. any good

[thebossman]

tryin carboload for the first time..anybody had noticeable results

Buying glucose,maltose/dextrose is a lot cheaper. I like it to feed the herd and I believe it acts like a mild chelator, as one time I ran out at one place and noticed a difference in crops. JK
I also use xylitol.

 

[thebossman]

can you use it in hydro

 

[Jalisco Kid]

Thats all I run, aero and chow mixes.

One thing though, if you have bad bac hanging out feeding them can cause a bloom you were not expecting so be prepared for that if it happens.Suerte JK

 

[thebossman]

what week in flwr would you start the carbload(thanks 4 the replys btw)

 

[Jalisco Kid]

I use sugars from veg to the last 2 weeks of flower. JK

Do you think a good beneficial tea applied weekly would address the risk of this problem correctly?

 

[Jalisco Kid]

There are all kinds of teas giving all kinds of results. I only use a few beni's on purpose, I have been running something I picked up from the oil industry the last year.They seem to reproduce well and has kept the systems well. I need to run them in Jalisco to really put them to the test. JK

adding in sugars does little, unless plants are already really kicking, they are nothing more than a metabolic factor. If your looking for something too really change flavor you need to look towards sulfur.

I use it to feed the herd mainly not the plant. JK

 

[Dirty White Boy]

Cool just wanted too make that clear.

 

[thebossman]

what do you mean herd and not plant ??

 

[Jalisco Kid]

The good bio's.

 

[thebossman]

i aint putting any benis in my feed, they are in waterfarms

 

[mastacheeser]

Then running carboload is pointless

Yes. There is certainly a risk of competing populations, but if you have healthy colony established and you are brewing healthy teas it will mitigate that entirely. With soil the herd gets richer over time and reuse. Obviously that doesn't apply in hydro or even coco, as coco is not quite used or reused in the same fashion as soil.

I have been running something I picked up from the oil industry the last year.

Can you provide more info on this?

Agreed. Sugars feed the herd not the plant. Can you provide some insights on how sulfur can be used to improve flavor? I have a bag of mag sulfate (epsom salts) on hand. Thanks.

K sufate is a better source, I also use DAP in the first 2 weeks. Google dap and studies in India.
I also use Mag Phosphate w/k sulfate.JK
