Well, If he's talking about Dutch Master silica, the recommendation is 2 ml per gal or in his case 12ml for his 25 liters.
"Add Gold Range SILICA to your tank according to the online Nutrient Calculator or at the rate of 0.5 ml per litre or 2 ml per gallon of final tank level or volume."
That's what I read from DM site
Ahh I thought you said 2mL per liter--my bad. Lol. Must be bedtime!
Either way we agree, he doubled the recommendation.
I don't think that's wise. This is perhaps the worst element to do this with if you had to choose one.
I have no clue what your problem might have been I'm saying is irresponsible to make claims based upon a single grow and that anybody expecting the Alien keeper pheno or a grail pheno that it just doesn't happen in 11 seeds. Although with Aliens gear it's more then likely then with others and that's a fact!maybe thats it, the silica was a little high, the measuring cup i use isnt the best for smaller measurements but it was always under 25 as i dont like using it that much but do find it helps when we have issues with higher temps.
Well at least i still have clones - i will run them again and go back to pretty much base nutes and bacteria see what happens, will strip the silica from feed altogether or very small dose.
@jlr42024 while i will be the first to admit grower error which in this case it may have been with a slightly higher than recommended silica - was probably 20ml most feeds with the odd spillage to 25ml so maybe 8ml over which thus far in my experience has never caused issues as this is really the first rampant hermie issue i have ever seen in my whole growing experience so this came as quite a surprise to me... if i knew straight off the bat a little too much silica will make a strain (any strain) likely to herm then i probably wouldnt have bothered with this thread.
Cant say i have ever grown a strain that flipped out due to a slight over feed of silica but if thats the case then thats good new for me - means i can still grow this shit and get some results for my $!!
i hear you, my peoples aint complaining and could care less what you pity.i pity the patients that must smoke bud grown at 2.0EC+
See, I understand quality can be achieved with Alien's gear in any method of growing, just wondering if growing them organically will bring out everything they have to offer.Getto grew some ewok trees in a UC I dont know if it was organic..They were Bomb!
id be interested in seeing that!See, I understand quality can be achieved with Alien's gear in any method of growing, just wondering if growing them organically will bring out everything they have to offer.
I guess this wouldn't be easy to answer without a side-by-side test
