Grow number two, making space

[MHippie]

If I were feeding a lot maybe? But I have literally fed them twice. I don’t know. A good flush isn’t ruled out.

I used to use the Fox Farms Trio but switched to Earth Juice Seablast 4 part. It works well for me across a variety of strains. I saw someone on here describe a feed, feed, clear routine to prevent buildup and these last 2 cycles have yielded no nute issues (finally). That nute line up is. alot less expensive than their liquids.

Would you be willing to share more specifics on this with me? DM if need be?

I only see the three part.

I also have these for future use but haven’t tried them yet as soil amendments.

Sure of course :) What would you like to know?

They dont list the 4th with the first 3 for some reason. The missing link is Seablast Bloom Master.

I’m on the website now. Should I assume four part is the three part plus Bloom Master? I haven’t yet encountered their feed chart so of that is on the site, I can find that info there as well. Otherwise, the feed schedule you mentioned would be great to see. Thank you!

You need to fix thise dry pockets.... like @MHippie said they can be a bitch to rehydrate. Try making nutrients in a pail about halfway up the pot and set them down into ot for a min. Then scoop and pour from the top and set a side to drain. Keep soil moisture 30-60% ish. I know it's not that easy.

They will droop but should solve that issue. That or maybe take a pencil and shove it down into the soil a few places and scratch the top up before watering.

Either way I would say it needs to be done. Maybe someone has a better method?

Those long campfire style bamboo skewers work GREAT. Anything that let's you punch holes from top to bottom fixes that quickly. And you dont need many. Like 4 to 6 inches between each. Dont worry about root damage. Just stay well off the main stalk.

I have a bamboo skewer I intend to poke around next time. I typically scratch the top of the soil but it’s not enough.

That's the other part that's simple. I feed "strong" in their chart. Grow, Transition, and Bloom are all fed at 1/2 tsp/gal. There is no mixing. If you are in veg, then you just feed grow. When in flowering you'll feed Bloom and Bloom Master. Bloom is 1/2 tsp/gal. Bloom master is 1/4 tsp in the same gallon :) I add 2 tsp of Epsom Salts per gal in every stage. That's it. Ph balance and feed. Just remember to shake very well.

My skewers are dual purpose. I also use them for swirling soap. (I use a fresh one each time.)

There’s a hydro store half an hour from here that they say carries their line. I will be making the trip in the next week if true. This is what I want.

Awesome! You'll find it goes a long long long way. If I can help further please let me know.

You do a strong feed on the constant or periodic chart, and you do as feed feed water, correct? Do you flush at all (including before harvest)?

Constant. Yes, feed feed water. Yes flush before harvest. Never a full flush until then. I like to leave my microbes where they are. :)
