I'm a recently enlightened chow-devotee, and have also started using top-dress with nice organics on advice from your friends in this thread. (Don't think you'd want the lime in this case though.) Tea with micros added goes nicely with this method too, but everybody else prob said that.
You could also just mix in some hydroton in with your supersoil? Definitly need some coco in their to make the roots fuzz-out. I was headed toward a blended super-chow but the top dressing leaves more options (removing/changing it, as DW so kindly pointed out).
I concur with your assessments regarding iron. I just fed 7 ppms iron at an ec of 4.0, I am inclined to bump it to 10 ppms next res.Dankworth, props to you. The green spine is fascinating. I started off copying Fatman's nute profiles. Nowadays I aim for 5 ppm of iron (0.5) at an EC of 2.0. I'd think that only 5 ppm at an EC of 3.0 might introduce some chemical interactions (with P, K and Cu). The feedback I've gotten from other growers, is stanky and super potent. I can't say for sure it's just the iron, as all my micros are much higher than hobby nutes. I still haven't gotten solid, repeatable input to tailor my nute profile.
Only if it has tria lol.Dank, all this iron talk has me thinking that I am going to sub A1 nutrients Master Blaster for MOAB. From what I can tell it is a similar formulation but has added iron rather than vitamin b1.
Dig the 10 ppms. Instant rx w/essential oil output, climbing up and out of the plant as the iron spread w/feeding.so hows that 10ppm of Fe treating ya;);), fuckin score homie! did you go with the 2:1 fe:mn ratio? and yes i also think that boron is very important,imho. i think a "deep"er look into the micros will be "worth"while:)
I bought pre-mixed micros, and paid too much.I used to just split fatman's micros in half - mostly because some of the micro sulfates wouldn't dissolve entirely. I can't find my notes atm, but my iron is currently 5 ppm, manganese is 3.75 ppm, iirc boron is ~2.8, Zn is 1.9 (i forget Cu and Mo values). By your suggestion, my Mn should be 2-3.333 ppm. My boron is also relatively less than fatman's - maybe I should bump that up again. My iron has become relatively higher over time (from 5 ppm of 1200 ppm, to 5 of 1000).
My buddy says my formula needs more Ca. I tell him he's overfeeding, and you feed much higher :/ I pulled some Mg (thinking it was obstructing Ca), down from fatman's 2:1 Ca:Mg, and I'm waiting for feedback from another grower. I see you have a 4:1 Ca:Mg. Do you supplement with epsom in the last weeks?
Do you buy a custom pre-mixed micros? (from Marion Ag) or do you just buy the salts and mix them yourself? I would love to have chelated micro mix made to my profile.
I've seen adds for commercial ag for boron, and its importance for fruiting trees/shrubs. I also see that boron has an antagonism with manganese...search me what the ideal ratio is. I read a paper on hops that suggested a 2-1-3 ratio...I don't recall if it listed micros.
flocculation, you made gypsum.i dont like this stuff..my bottle of PBP lasted so much longer then my same size bottle of CNS+ after running the veg/flow i think ill stick with the PBP + my CNS left critty stuff in the bottom of my Res lookd like white sand
Figured I'd post it here too.
I would like to declare intent to work with Deep Buddy.
Team Deep Buddy and Team Dankworth will be doing some good work together.
Pretty exciting stuff.
really , really exciting stuff. seriously this is a farm team! so you know what we have to offer is only going to be the best.
Dig the 10 ppms. Instant rx w/essential oil output, climbing up and out of the plant as the iron spread w/feeding.
Can't play w/fe:mn values yet, need a bag of Jack's micros.
Need to nerd out on boron soon.
5 Phds my ass.
Team Deep Dank?
I don't know enough to know what I don't know about that subject.So how do you guys feel about the various fe forms? (sulfate, edta, dtpa, eddha, other chelates?)
