Supposed to have very low salts. In fact, they recommend not using an EC meter to feed.Yikes! That dilute salt and water solution is expensive.
All fertilizers are salts by definition. The salt index is a scale to measure the likelyhood of crop damage to very sensitive crops,ex:some will burn if applied as a foliar or burn tender roots,some may kill seed,temp and water content of the soil also come into play as dry and cooler soils will "burn" easier. Also there is no standard across the board using the same methods so sometimes it's marketing hype.Supposed to have very low salts. In fact, they recommend not using an EC meter to feed.
That's good to hear. Thanks.I have been around folks that use Gold Leaf and know one commercial grower that swears by the stuff. They all quietly use it, like it. The one thing they all like is the simplicity of using it. The commercial grower I've know at least 20 years now. I wouldn't trust him to fix a pump, boiler or chiller. But he has been growing good weed for a long time and it's all he has used since we got medical here and he fired up his legal grow-op.
I will start a diary very soon as my new beans have cracked and will get planted in a couple of days. We'll see what happens. I was using Homegrown Cannabis Co's standard nutrient package, and that combined with our very hard water (357 ppm) has caused me nothing but salt build-up issues. Stunted my girls really badly. They are in the 1st week of flowering and are all only 8-9 inches tall. It's a sad sight for sure! I have ordered a Zero Water pitcher to remove a lot of the minerals, but will now have to supplement with calmag.Looks like another rip off to me. Start a diary, lets see what it does- i'd watch.
I will start a diary soon, as my new seeds have popped. I can say that I'm nothing but impressed by it so far. My tap PH is pretty consistent at 7.5-7.8. I mixed up a 5 gallon bucket with 40 ml, stirred it up, and waited a few minutes. I took a reading and my PH was at 5.8. So I let it set 10 more minutes and it never changed. My current 5 plants went through an accidental overfeeding that resulted in a salt build-up and nutrient deficiencies. They are stunted, but since I started GoldLeaf they look healthier than they ever have and are growing like crazy. I removed all the damaged leaves and they all look great. I look forward to using it on my next grow from the start. Pictures are the same plant 2 weeks apart.Already spent the money on this? This stuff looks decently expensive, looks like a liter may get you through a 4 plant 5/gallon grow, so add that onto the overall cost of the grow.
I'm not really sold on all-in-one liquid nute programs as some of the components in them deteriorate at different rates and could leave you with a less than stellar regimen.
Will be watching for a diary on this though
