People always tell me you cant check coco runoff but when my plants look bad, i always go clean my ph pen and then check the runoff. its always super high ec and the ph will be 6.5+ when the purple stems show up. So i always lower the ec a little and do some heavy feeds @ 5.8ph. Ec always comes down according to the runoff along with the ph and the plants start looking lovely again.I must be the only person who hasn't been able to use VB correctly
I run coco and no matter what ec or with/without Calmg/cut with tap etc........my plants immediately start to look like hot garbage
odd
but looks good man
Instead of Monsanto and there soulless tec ;pFYI: Fuck gavitas their sellouts, they sold to Scott's miracle grow co wich will Takeove=EVIL, unhealthy product ==== bad bad bad bad for consumers
Solistech is the way to go imo
I apologize for mis speaking
if you feed the way we do you dont ned to check runoff
when you feed atleast once a day there is no time to actually accumulate buildup
you are maintaining a constant ph/ec
it isnt changing because you are constantly maintaining those parameters....never deviating
the best practice is to ise smaller pots as well as not watering so much that mad runoff occursI gotcha. Sometimes i feel like im chasing my tail and its usually after once a day isnt enough. So i start watering 2x a day ( once early and once late) but then it seems like the pots are just super wet all the time and im just wasting water and nutes. Say im watering 20gal once a day but i need to start watering 2x so ill do 2x 20gal watering and my runoff greatly increases. Then if i do 20 gal again the next day its the same thing a ton of runoff.
I spent a long long time watering coco like soil, and keeping it so moist just seems so wierd.
Hey guys, I'm really liking the results everyone is posting with Veg+Bloom line but I'm a little confused. How is it cheap? I usually use about 8ml/gal of any base, Botanicare sweet @ 5ml/gal, Big Bud @ 6ml/gal and HH/Moab combo. I always go on the lower end with nutes because I like to stay around 1000 ppms. When I do the math on what I pay per gal it's cheaper then Veg+Bloom complete line. . It comes out to about .20 per gal compared to .30 for Veg+Bloom with their 2 additives. (Thats doing the math on the lower end of what they recommend) So why should I pay 50% more? Lmk what you guys think the difference is. I also make caps tea and use cal mag, but since everyone else on this forum uses this with Veg+Bloom I am not applying it to the overall cost. I'm willing to pay more if it's worth it.
Maxibloom is $14.00 for 2.2lbs and has all 16 elements including Ca MgI try to stay on the lower side too. When using liquid ferts concentration plays a huge role. I used V + B for several years but switched to Emerald Harvest 3 part to optimize nutrients between grow and flower + other EH amendments= $$$
NPK RAW Grow: 8oz @ $22= >2xs V + B, or is it?) It is an extremely complete formula. They recommend 1 tsp/g for first week. How do others compare? It would take time and a spread sheet. At the end of the day, price should not dictate, quality should
So of my most potent (lab tested) and frostiest most smelly flowers came from this same lockout.... but yield took a big hit. I know of what you speak. Years ago I had a spider mite problem that I never eradicated..just kept in check until semi early harvest. The mites never got up top but they never got gone either. The flowers were ridiculously potent. Go figure.The sad part of getting locked out to the point of purple stems and off-green leaves, means a long time for recovery if at all.
Some plants are vigorous enough to grow out of it eventually once corrected..some will not. If you gain recovery it could take weeks and your plants will be over-vegged. If you're in flower already, you basically got what you got..a crop that looks so-so.
Sometimes stressed out plants can produce a potent frosty product..but the formation and harvest weight will be affected.
Ive used Veg+ Bloom ro/soft in 0.2 tap water bumped to 0.3 ec with a calmag supplement. 0.8 to 1.3 ec in veg. 1.3 to 1.7 ec in flower. Nothing else. 20% runoff every feed in 3 gallon pots of canna brand coco. And i must say....it doesn't need anything else to bring out all the bling.
What model of dosatron u use ? And you put nothing else just a b and shine ? Still put shine in b or in another dosatron ?Dial it, ball valves and pipe size. The pump is a generic sprinkler pump from harbor freight. Dos is split into part A and part B they mix into 100x concentrates A 340g: B 240g per gallon but I run 5 gal stock buckets so it's 1800g A : 1200g B per 5 gallon bucket the simple clean routine. Done
I usually check and adjust ph before adding life. Luckily I RARELY need to adjust it.do i add life after mixing vb?
always add your acid or base before live organismsdo i add life after mixing vb?
This is almost always my experience too ... LOVE the pH stability ..I usually check and adjust ph before adding life. Luckily I RARELY need to adjust it.
