What do you think about the use of hormones, cytokins, aminos and fulvics in your nutes
Checking in. Finally got my Jack's.
I think I need a little more N with my Jacks mix with Rockwool cubes, specifically double stacked Hugos and Big Mammas. Im seeing a touch of yellowing in this run in the rockwool. The plants are true beasts as always with Jacks! I want to bring it closer to 140-150 N.
Big thanks to Capulator for helping me so much!
Good luck Darth!
Ill re read this thread to catch back up on what you guys have been talking about as I have not checked in for awhile.
What do you think about the use of hormones, cytokins, aminos and fulvics in your nutes
I got two liter bottles that look like they been rolled in glass shards.
When I am running perfect plants with that, I will start adding more things one at a time to see if it makes a difference.
Im going to test out Crysmatic's version of jacks and see how it goes.
I have to find an article to back my hypothesis up, but the most fertile areas are near salt water. however, how do the plants receive Cl without the Na, which we know will kill them? Is soil selectively filtering ions?
Most Fertile Soil in U.S. Is Covered by Cities
Science File | IN BRIEF
February 14, 2004|From Times Staff and Wire Reports
U.S. cities have been built on the most fertile soil in the country, lessening the contributions of these lands to the food web and human agriculture, according to a NASA study. Though cities account for just 3% of U.S. continental land area, the land they occupy could produce as much food as the 29% of land area now used for agriculture.
Today, approximately 3 billion people — about half of the world's population — live within 200 kilometers of a coastline.
Half of the world's wetlands disappeared in the 20th century, as did 50 percent of all mangroves, and nearly 60 percent of the world's coral reefs are seriously degraded — in some cases beyond recovery — or threatened by development and other human activities.5 Pollution from industry, agriculture, and urban areas is degrading the quality of much of the world's fresh water.
your statements are slightly misleading. the prairies are some of the world's most fertile lands. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Global_soils_map_USDA.jpg green is good. over farming (and not replacing organic matter) has left US soils deficient in many minerals since the 1930s. Canada's most fertile land is right between the great lakes.
plants absorb elements by osmosis - the pressure of differential concentration. if plants selectively absorbed elements, then overfeeding would be impossible.
LA Times:
Population reference bureau:
most of the population lives near water because it is essential to life, and eases transportation of resources. humans have been building cities on prime farm land.
another 'interesting' statement. i would hate a world ruled by plants - they're very capricious.
so how do you guys measure out the salts when you feed? you put em on a scale every time?
Yes. Ohaus Dial-O-gram. Its really easy and you can plan ahead with:
1) dixie cups
2) saran wrap
3) rubber bands.
Thx Cap,Darth what kind of system are you running? What media?
In coco you can run a higher EC, but I would suggest starting around 1.2 and seeign how your plants like that before hitting them hard with the nutes. Snowblinds 3/2/1 (hydro/CaNO3/MgSO4) is a great place to start. Dilute as necessary.
So how often do you feed, and on what schedule?
Thx Cap,
My plants just hit wk 6, so they're hungry. I made the switch yesterday and they're still looking great today. LOL - They seemed a bit "stankier" today.
3 gal smartpots, running unamended coco, wick fed, ro water.
Gonna run it like a bud of mine does w/ the following instructions:
"Fill a 5 gal bucket with 4 gal ro water, add 1tsp each and stir. Feed. Done" ... "For flush just feed regular water for a week."
around 7-50 ppm.
I'll probably continue top-feeding a little liquid budswell. MgSO4 only if she asks for it.
