Right on Dirtbag!That PPm profile is bangin. Nice healthy plants there.
Same hereLooking good... Healthy plants make me giggle. Lol
Good to have you along! I like my blood, bone, and kelp mix but this Dr Earth stuff is very solid. I'm going to be using it again soon with a few autoflowers once my current multi style tent run is done. Some with just Tomato, Veg & Herb like the Stardawg above and others will have Tomato, Veg & Herb with Bud & Bloom Booster. I want to see if the booster will have any negative or positive effects.Excellent thread JM! This one will get bookmarked for sure. I got a buddy who is running the Dr. Earth dry amendments on some dreamcatcher. He's running a blueberry leaning pheno that I should be done in a week or so. He says he gets bigger yeild from the hydro, but looking at yours I think he may be doing something wrong. I'l have to show him your method.
i started out with this method the past summer,in a 33 gal thrash can,on my third attempt i finally got a watermelon growing,i did have to add air to the can ,the triple digit weather wouldnt allow me to keep it alive other wise.Same here

Here is a fun little experiment.
This is going to be my small Krakty Method test with Masterblend at the recommended strength. It is passive hydroponics or DWC without an airstone. Ideally as the roots grow and suck up water/nutrients the area within the reservoir is displaced with more air. As the plant grows and you find yourself adding back to the reservoir the idea is to leave at least 25% of the roots exposed to air. You then have "air roots" and "water roots". It's the trick to avoiding the use of an air pump. I've seen a lot of successful lettuce, pepper, and tomato grows but have not seen very many try this with cannabis. Cannabis growers often go straight to DWC and rightfully so since it is proven to work great.
Here is my super cheapo krakty set up that I made with materials lying around as I did not want to invest much money or time on this side experiment. I used a 1 gallon jug with the top cut off as the reservoir and a tomato container from the grocery store as a net cup. Instead of hydroton I used some coco chips I have. I'm aware that the clear plastic should be covered to block out the light to avoid algae growth but I'd like to view the progress for a bit before doing that.

I put it in yesterday and the roots are already reaching into the the solution. This will be fun.

Thank you! Everything is from seed except for the SLH that I got in clone form so I am unsure of it's origins, but I am thinking it's from GreenHouseSeeds.Such an awesome growlog JM,something for everyone. I thought I knew it all but your explanations are great for beginners and vets.
Did you get your SLH from Barneys?,my wife has been wanting me to grow it for her for awhile
That is awesome! I was watching a few videos about some pretty large krakty set ups outdoors. I was wondering if it was possible to do melons so I am glad to hear you had success with that.i started out with this method the past summer,in a 33 gal thrash can,on my third attempt i finally got a watermelon growing,i did have to add air to the can ,the triple digit weather wouldnt allow me to keep it alive other wise.
im down sizing to 5 gal buckets come spring,run watermelon canaloupe and pumpkins on to a top deck i have ,the melons will grow on trellis up the wall,pumpkin vines get about 50 ft long before they put on fruit it seems so all good,i plant on running the air pump to all again,one thing for sure i found out the hard way was this wouldnt work with my well water at all,so ro water was the key when i finally got the melon growing,im sure since i found that issue i could go all out kratchy,so a half and half gig that way i do get my fruits
