Where did you go bro? This is some juicy stuff here. Aquas questions will help me to better grasp the idea. Look forward to you chiming in. Ty!I will absolutely answer those questions for you. Great questions bt the way! I'm dropping my girl off at the airport theh I'll get back with a thorough response.
No I was referring to redbarn - kyles post on the last page and Aquamans questions to him regarding his postif you’re talking about me then yes its 70/30 coco pearlite
This sounds eerily similar to a lot of rockwool grows and how they crop steer. Are you in RW or coco?Sorry for the late response, I'll shed a bit of light onto the target ranges for water content depending on the phase of flower.
If you want clarification on any of these just let me know. I won't go into EC readings because you're not measuring pore water EC, which is what I use to steer our crops. I would hate for you to scorch your plants trying to get your bulk media EC up to 8! I'll leave environmental cues out of this as well, just know your VPD needs to stay between .8 and 1.4, do not let it go below .4 at night as that is dew point and you'll be at risk for mold.
In early flower, first week or so you want to keep your wc high, peak saturation around 65% not allowing your substrate to dry back below 45%, but ideally keep that water content around 55-60% all day by irrigating frequent, but small shots. This is to help ease your plants into flower gently.
during your stretch, or "phase 2" of bloom we go generative. You want to create a water scarcity stress response in your plants to force them to focus on generative growth (flowers) as early as possible. This is done by hitting your peak saturation of 55-65% early in the day, around 2 hours after lights on, then giving them a 22-23 hour dry-back before your next irrigation and bump up your EC a bit to increase osmotic pressure and really stress those girls out. This will mitigate stretch, increase bud sites and like I said earlier, your flowers will set earlier, allowing more time for the next phase, which is our bulking phase.
During this phase, which starts the day your plants are done stretching, is where we remove all stressors from the crop and allow them to focus all of their resources on those flowers we just set in. This is done by reverting your irrigation strategy back to phase one. We'll lower our EC and irrigate frequently to hit peak saturation about 3 hours after lights on and maintain that throughout the day.
Phase four is your flush. Flush however you normally do but don't ever flush with straight R.O water, always use a low EC of cal-mag and cut your nitrates in half or more.
If you nail phase 2 and phase 3 you're going to see big boy yields like you've never seen before!
Assuming you have the right genetics, which is a whole different conversation.
Hope that helps!
If you care to peep the insta for the grow I manage to see I'm not full of it, it's here: redbarn_gardens
Just peeped ur IG and saw some plants in RW, so was just wondering..This sounds eerily similar to a lot of rockwool grows and how they crop steer. Are you in RW or coco?
I'm in coco btw.Just peeped ur IG and saw some plants in RW, so was just wondering..
Yes it is. Try 3 percent h202 that should do the trick if it's pmGuys i have mildew on my stalk and stem im 2 weeks from harvest. I sprayed it with growsafe today and about 7 hours later when the lights came on it is still there. Any idea what to do now? Because im near harvest and the mildew is only on stalk and stem im avoiding spraying the buds. Also isnt the mildew supposed to wash away almost instantly after the application?

Is that the only place you can see the pm? If so that's great! You can definitely keep it under wraps. If I see it one place Its usually infiltrated in many places. I use Neem alot in early flower as a preventative. Not sure what's in growsafe but is it like Nuke em?Guys i have mildew on my stalk and stem im 2 weeks from harvest.

The texture of the stalk being all bumpy and groovy (pun intended) will make it harder to blast it off of there sometimes. That does not mean you didn't kill that spot however and it doesn't mean it didn't work be sure. If you got the bulk of it I'd say it's a win! Sometimes it doesn't all completely wash away but it is dead just the same (for the moment). If it has that powdery look though, as you already know, do be vigilant cause it's probably not dead. You can use straight hydrogen peroxide from medicine cabinet for spot treating areas like the spot on the stalk. That's what I meant by 3 percent h202. I wouldn't go spraying it all over the foliage though in your situation lol! But yeah stems stalks etc np.I legit hope it doesn’t spread until Friday because my garage is my best room. I still cannot believe growsafe didnt work i aprayed 4 gallons of it and only on stalk and lower branches idk how it’s possible for it to stay on.
That looks like some good stuff. Definitely a good preventative. That's how I use Neem. I spray before I see anything. Every other week. That looks like it would do the trick if your leaves weren't completely covered or anything. CoolAgroMagen
