Tip for ya. Don’t put organic nutes through a dripper system. Gunks up the works.
i want to do a soil all organic i have bat guano at home,cattle shit decomposed also at home and i don't think i'mma need anything else,they say weed grows in the soil of corn and the corn is doing quite good here with minimum cattle waste added every spring,not to mention that every year the corn is planted where the potatoes were last year so less nutrients left
what do you think?
also what do you mean by 'easter' i think it is autocorrect
I’m not sure, but it looks like she may have contracted a virus when that branch was removed. Try starting a thread about this in the Infirmary forum and you’ll get more help.Sorry to interrupt, but my plant has this illness and being a first time grower I don’t know what’s happening to my beautiful Chem Dog 4 plant!!!
I’ve seen people pH their water first. I guess if you are very familiar with your nute line you get to the same place weather you pH before or after mixing. However, if you use RO water (like me) it will damage the probe on the meter if I try pH correcting pure RO water.I use tap with about 160ppm and 7.1 ph. Ph-ing first has helped me immensely. Maybe cuz using different nutes?
Can you elaborate why it would damage the electrode on ur meter?I’ve seen people pH their water first.

Sure. This is the link to my Bluelab pH pen manual.Can you elaborate why it would damage the electrode on ur meter?
So u check ur ph and put it back in the case with the solutions still on it?Sure. This is the link to my Bluelab pH pen manual.

At the bottom of page 4 is this, among other DO NOT’s.
“DO NOT soak or rinse the pH probe in RO (Reverse Osmosis), Distilled or De-ionized water. Pure water changes the chemistry in the reference, causing the probe to die.”
So I don’t.
No. I rinse the probe with plain tap water after every use, and once or twice a week I put a few drops of the KCI storage solution in the cap. I’ve had mine for about a year without issues. And I pH my res everyday to make sure it’s in range.So u check ur ph and put it back in the case with the solutions still on it?
I am on my 3rd tester,and its gettimg old
Well thats good to know..what about tank rain water.i used my truncheon in it and didnt even registrar nothin.used my 50 buck red ph pen in it..tank water wouldnt b d ionized hey just settled??ph was 6.9Sure. This is the link to my Bluelab pH pen manual.

I would think that rain water picks up enough contaminants while falling through the air, that it shouldn’t be a problem. I’m not sure though. That’s a good question.Well thats good to know..what about tank rain water.i used my truncheon in it and didnt even registrar nothin.used my 50 buck red ph pen in it..tank water wouldnt b d ionized hey just settled??ph was 6.9
The dripper is just for watering,plain waterTip for ya. Don’t put organic nutes through a dripper system. Gunks up the works.
I know premade potting soil like FFOF is only good for the first month or so. Then you’ll need to add nutes. I’m not sure how long homemade super soil should last.The dripper is just for watering,plain water
i thought that if i make a good soil from start i won't need any fertilizer,am i right?
@Greatlakes <---- shes got some super duper puper soil! Look at those goons shes nurturing!I know premade potting soil like FFOF is only good for the first month or so. Then you’ll need to add nutes. I’m not sure how long homemade super soil should last.
Actually compost holds water as well as coco....making it where you do not have to water as often.@Greatlakes <---- shes got some super duper puper soil! Look at those goons shes nurturing!
I asked my old man about uaing compost like her in raised beds, ive heard the manure doesnt hold enough moisture for a raised bed unless I feed it manually a couple times a week. No nutes from what I've read, just silica for pm purposes.
Your bud,

i suppose that i'm gonna give the plant a great head start,it is not a problem if i need to re compost the soilI know premade potting soil like FFOF is only good for the first month or so. Then you’ll need to add nutes. I’m not sure how long homemade super soil should last.
