hey bay area...was curious...why do you cut the catalyst out after week 9? I was looking over the feed schedule and you mention that for flower extension to use week 10 again, which doesn't have catalyst, I always thought the catalyst provided the fuel for the plant and cutting it out after week 9 confuses me, maybe I don't understand it correctly???...


-------------Catalyst--------Micro---------Grow---------Bloom-------Meta K

week1 veg-----5ml----------5ml-----------5ml
week2 veg----10ml----------5ml-----------5ml
week3 veg----10ml----------5ml-----------10ml
week4 veg----10ml----------5ml-----------10ml
week5 flower--10ml----------5ml-----------10ml-----------5ml---------2.5ml
week6 flower--10ml----------5ml-----------10ml---------10ml----------2.5ml
week7 flower--10ml----------5ml-----------10ml---------10ml---------2.5ml
week8 flower--5ml-----------5ml-----------15ml---------15ml---------2.5ml
week9 flower--5ml-----------5ml-----------15ml--------20ml---------2.5ml
week10flwer----------------5ml-----------10ml-------- 25ml---------2.5ml
week11flwr-----------------5ml------------------------20ml
week12 FLUSH

Repeat week 3 for veg or 10 for flower extension

Great post bayarea! Very informative. I appreciate you sharing such information with us! Have you used Roots organics in a test?

Yezmar420,
The first time I brewed a tea with roots organics nutrients it was 3.9 ph when i added all the nutes. I was like:mad0233: but then I figured I would let it bubble for 24 hours. I did that came back and the ph was 4.2:mad0233: I let it bubble for another 24 hours. I came back and the ph was 4.5:mad0233: then i realized that i didn't add any extra molasses to the tea(that helps bacteria grow) I did that and when I came back only 6 hours later the ph had risen to 6.9 hahahaha. Bacteria don't mess around. They grow fast when givin enough food.

Try adding some molasses to your earth juice tea to adjust the microbiology ratio and raise the ph instead of PH up or PH down because those affect your ppm's and can cause an imbalance in the amount of nutrients you are feeding. For instance earth juice up is potassium bicarbonate, and having to high amount of potassium locks out other nutrients. I would only use the ph adjuster for very small ph changes.

Ph is related to the microbial because fungi give off acids where bacteria give off alkaline(basic) slimes. So a higher ratio of fungi to bacteria means low ph conditions where as the opopsite means high ph conditions. I believe cannabis likes a 1:1 ratio or close to that. That is why she like a ph of 5.5 to 6.8 because the right ratio of bacteria to fungi(and the right types) can survive and do their job at those ph levels.

great post
i use advanced nutes and did'nt now u can add diffrent amounts off sensi A+B i grow i grow a haze strain and i read that they are'nt as nitrogen hungry as indicas can i just add more bloom B then A cause i also use humic acid + voodoo juice which contain nitrogen everthing runs fine in veg but as soon as i flower problems start i thik it could be N toxicity the leaves edges curl over and hook down any info would be aprieaciated
