bruh calm your tits lol ive hardly spent 300.... lol i appreciate actual answers not criticizing me on how i spend money. second im not in soil if u havent noticed. but thank you for the logical answers you did give me and the couple of laughs.
24 hrs is fine man.... They still carry out these processes to a degree. With salt based ferts you don't need a huge colony of microbes.
But im using slow release dry amendments? Dr. Earth’s the brand name
That's fine... The volume of microbial life will be determined by the amount of food available for them. Adding more food increases the population adding less will lower it. It balance of nature. Your plants don't need massive amounts of microbial life to be healthy. So you add molasses and say potassium fixing bacteria break it down into a usable form for the plant... That's it for each element they break down sugars/starches, nitrogen etc. Eg nitrogen fixed bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites and then into nitrate. Now all your doing is causing these populations to explode then die back as they consume the food source they die back until you add more. By doing this you are changing your feed ratios and providing a lot of available potassium for 1 to the plants creating what I see as a potassium toxicity.
I'm not a cocoa grower but potassium is also what I suspect you have. Have you flushed your medium and corrected your pH?
I did with two plants from what I know the coco is buffered but I explain what I did with the two plants so far if u scroll up a little bit with the pics. But I was about to flush the other two plants this morning and check those.
Thanks for the help man I've already fed them nutes twice and last night I did only give them water like u said trying to give it that break like soil... one more question.
I switched and that 5 hrs of rest an opportunity recover and release “stuff” lol back into the soil is huge ! In my opinion
if your feeding 750 and getting 800 runoff,that is almost perfect of what your putting in and ideal,in soil i never check it,but in coco as you see it is very important to diagnose issues,doing good bro,now you got the plant straight continue to feed daily for the exchange of air and nutes and you will see the plant turn around,when it does dont be surprised if you have to feed it more than once a day,the coco is some hungry ass plants hahahah
I'll check the run off after I feed too see what I get comparison wise and report back here to make sure it's all gravy baby thanks for the tips and the help man you are a G!
1600= fryin, hot... in my limited (thank god) experience with it. i think bottles n even ed- MAY HAVE SAID 1600, in an obsolete, bible, but uhhh that seems real high. i stall mine, around 400ppm, with not NO deficiency... just lil enough to TELL me, what they want. they're in 700s, today, but it's rare I'm comfy, above 600. i have self trust issues.
my vot is keep bringing em down- but again- i can't speak to coco ppm. so...
