Can i mix silica in my nute mix/cal-mag or should it be seperate with a ph balanced solution
Can i mix silica in my nute mix/cal-mag or should it be seperate with a ph balanced solutionIn your case it would be a factor to cause the problem to help with heat use silica or a kelp seaweed mix like SeaSol or maxi crop .
Happy growing!welcome im new too trying to get my first grow under my belt.. my number #1 mistake.. over watering.. they really use so little water at this stage you would be amazed.
good luck, ill be following along as we both learn. :D
chris.
Yes you can I mix silica in first than my base nutes if any silica raises the ph so adding nutes lowers the ph .Can i mix silica in my nute mix/cal-mag or should it be seperate with a ph balanced solution
cause you shudnt use it n flower.only in veg.and higher u get yur humidity n veg quicker plants bounce back from training...least in my garden thats a fact.Ive never worried about my humidity since I used a humidifier and got bud rot,
I got my whole set-up on a timer. Works out really well. ThanksIve never used silica and dont see the need unless you are using large industrial grow lights, if you get that fan blowing right over the top of the plant where it slightly shakes the plant you can get those lights almost touching the plant with no problems. I plug a power strip into my timer and plug lights and fans into the power strip.
I'm kinda scared to do the whole towel thing because of the electricity in my tent . Always been a worry wart about that kinda stuff. I under up going to a local store to get a humidifier. Seems to have increased my humidity level by 9%.I have raised the humidity in my tent using a towel and a bucket of water.
put a bucket of water in the corner of tent, add water, dip towel into water and hang it above bucket.
the large area of wet towel will release more water into air. having bucket under towel will catch dripping water plus allow for easy soaking of towel.
It will raise the rh, But i having a strong exhaust will work against you...it will pull your moister out.
The fans should be circulating, not a steady blast in one direction. On stationary fans tape a piece of paper in front of fan.
With trial and error...cut to a manageable size and folding in some spots you can get the paper to flap around...which will create a random air current.
Is it too late in the game to add 30% petite or should I not worry about it since my humid is around 40%?Ive never worried about my humidity since I used a humidifier and got bud rot, and now without it my plants are perfectly happy with 40% humidity...
That said, a large tote filled with moistened perlite will release even more moisture into the air than a towell due to the large surface area of perlite rocks and their water retention properties.
I'm doing kinda the same thing . House sitting a friend's plant for the time being until they get back so I'm trying to keep humidity around 40%When you dont have two seperate rooms raising the veg tent humidity also raises the flower tent humidity. My plants never take more than a day or two to recover from heavy supercropping even with low humidity.
If youre gonna transplant anyway might as well break up the root ball and shake out as much media as you can and add perlite to the new mix.Is it too late in the game to add 30% petite or should I not worry about it since my humid is around 40%?
Usually not enough room in tent to place a large tote, that's why a towel. and this is for Veg not flower room.Ive never worried about my humidity since I used a humidifier and got bud rot, and now without it my plants are perfectly happy with 40% humidity...
