I have my pen and paper and am ready to take notes too....@John Coward
maybe you didn't read my post clearly....
soil samples for outdoor farming in ground
if you are taking soil samples for indoor gardening...then why are you indoor gardening...that is where you have premixed potting mix right out of the bag that will sustain your plant perfectly...tailored exactly to our plant specifications
taking soil samples indoors make zero sense "MANG"
a waste of time and money
if you want to know what is in your soil indoors...use an inert media and put into it exactly what you want........it is called hydroponics
if you want to go the organic route
Aquaponics
and if RO water and tweaking ph gain a 30% increase I would really like to see that imperial data that backs that claim....sounds like you are really on to something
Sorry I did not read it clearly. But i keep my ph during early-mid veg exactly 6.4 then when I am two weeks out of flower I start raising the medium in .1 increments until I achieve 6.7 with my soil slury. I'm all about trying to use as little nutrients as possible and saving time and money. And I'm not saying that it's going to increase your yeild by 30% but ive come to find out I'm not baby sitting the grow as much as I used to. My family owns the largest Christmas tree farm in MA plus grow spring/fall flowers. Plus I grow 10 acres of tobacco myself while managing my fathers 20 he grows. I was not trying to be rude. I have a batch of 12 going rn mango skunk is the strain. They will veg until march move to my light deprivation green house. I'm hoping to pull 10+ a plant with my over all investment in every plant not extending 3kI have my pen and paper and am ready to take notes too....
He doesn't really give much detail on what he means by tweaking... if he means moving from 8 to 6.7 then he probably did see 30 % increase :)
Maybe you should reread the post again. And then when your done you can read the thread, How to be respectful when posting on blogs that you didn't start. Then when your done with that compile all your information into your own thread and see if somebody will argue with you there. Thank you kindly sir and have a good day...[/QUOTE
I check ph in tobacco/flowers/pumpkins/corn why would I not check it in my herb?! Everything grows differently and in different environments that's why when you buy perennials you can make sure it's suitable to grow in the zone you are trying to grow it in. Yes indoor is a controlled environment but Off of a 4x4x8 room I'll pull 4lbs.
You win man I'm not trying to push buttons obv y'all are og growers I respect tf out of that. I've always been taught keeping scheduals and info always helps increase profit margins.and that is respectable?
again....when growing row crops....of course you want to sample soil to see what you need for success
indoors......if you want to get real
have leaf samples done once a week
indoor growing is not that complicated...
I have been growing since the early 90's and growing veggies since the mid 80's
never had to sample soil and never ph'd water in an outdoor in ground type enviroment
and if you study and learn about plants and how they take in nutrients as well as how the microbial life enteracts with the rhizosphere and how the plant and rhizospere has its own ph value
you would also know if you were a "good farmer"
that the reason you ph water is for the value of chelated salt solution that are basically steroids for your plant
so keeping a proper ph allows all of those ions to penetrate the rhizospere and into the plant
you see with organics ....microbes break down the minerals into a usable form by way of enzymes that they secret after feeding on sugar that the plant supplies
feeding organics ro water essentially is stripping minerals from the medium as RO is negative and grabs positive
one of the reasons ro is used to flush in hydroponics
without phing as the ph of the water dosnt matter what matters is the ph of mineral solution
and by the way.....if you are feeding with bottles.....you are not organic in any way
I dont know if you are organic or not
but I have never seen anyone ever ph water for row crops.....ever
shit gets pumped out of the ground and directly on to crops
with high metals and all kinds of shit
I literally live in one of the largest agricultural areas in the world
we supply over 75% of the worlds aggie crops
Central California
but.....if you are growing in peat based medium indoors and your are feeding from a bottle then yes ph 6.2-6.7
but please if you have something actually scientific to say with backing evidence from peer reviewed blind studies then by all means....
just saying "MANG"
you are rightAnd very true nectar #4 comes at good ph but as your plant starts breaking whatever it wants out of the soil it can fluctuate ph balance. Your plant will literally shit out things it doesn't need back into the soil to brake back down in another area it's stressing. But once the nutrients and organic plant matter breaks down so many times it will start to fuck with the soil ph throwing off your ppms. I use every thing nectar for the god sells plus slf100. Last 4 weeks of budding are straight flush. Other than monitoring ph level.

I see the same thing as you did. I was lost too loloh...didnt see it ...I only saw 2 quotes from him but nothing else...he quoted you and I on the same post but that was it...didnt see anything he wrote...maybe he deleted it or something...
so I guess I was missing something than...hahahaha
do you use RO water and ph everything for your to tobacco crops?Sorry I did not read it clearly.

Ya somehow it slipped by us. I just happen to go back and make sure i didnt forget to give someone a like, and came across it. But dude seems to have responded with a acceptable attitude and that is good enough for me.I see the same thing as you did. I was lost too lol
So tell us a lil about yourself. How long you been growing? Hydro too? setup..And very true nectar #4 comes at good ph but as your plant starts breaking whatever it wants out of the soil it can fluctuate ph balance.

refrigerator....48hours of darkWell call it what you want but my second germ attempt has everything almost up in 24 hrs... Who knows what happened last time... Aliens like I said...
Damn aliens got me too bruh....its rumored the sneak in at night and kill off seedlings that grow shit plants so you don't waste time growing them lolWell call it what you want but my second germ attempt has everything almost up in 24 hrs... Who knows what happened last time... Aliens like I said...
Merry Christmas to all as wellBTW Merry Christmas to you and your crew @EventHorizan @Wisher619
That is a damn good way to look at it! +1 :)Damn aliens got me too bruh....its rumored the sneak in at night and kill off seedlings that grow shit plants so you don't waste time growing them lol
BTW Merry Christmas to you and your crew @EventHorizan @Wisher619
Merry Christmas to all of you and hope it's a warm relaxing night...Merry Christmas to all as well
hope your guys's holidays are awesome
spent with loved ones!!
I had the same issue with older rapid rooters. I think it contributed to damping off in a few seedlings. I soak em in h2o2 before I soak em in bio root/ water. You can mix h2o2 3:1 with water and spray the ones that already have the green just know it will sterilize the medium (kinda the point)Couple things to note. 10 drops of root builder per solo cup of ro to soak rapid rooters may be too much for Autos.
Also raising humidity def helped with germ but high rh brings mold. I see a Lil green on my older rapid rooter seedlings. These our gonna be mother so I'm transplanting to solo cups today. What should I do about the green first?
@Wisher619 brother hope you are having a great morning... Getting ready to hang out with kids for the day.
You know I hate hand watering. I'm gonna have to decide how I want to set up a watering system for the 4 mothers.
Probably a 2x2 flood table that will fit inside my 33x33" small seedling tent.
All I know is that I have arrived at the place where you start trying to minimize how much you use of everything, water, nutes, light, space, etc.... since it begins to add up.
