Yeah thankfully no salt residue where I am. Definitely the few blocks nearby the beaches do, but in the winter generally every morning has fog.
I understand the microbes need water nice to know it takes a day or two, but also noticed they spring up as soon as watering would happen and also the soil was plenty hot nute wise also thrown in plenty of
mykos and
power si. Tap water is currently @ 200ppms was adding occasional cal mag for led, but didn't want to overadd incase of lockout, flush every few weeks or so is what I do as it seems the consensus is not too wash away too much nuts. LOL I'm also not opposed to using mineral based nutes either
I don't prefer anything quite frankly, but hydro appeals the most other than the fact I'm on a upper floor and a leak issue concerns me far too much. Organic is nice because much less waste and simply organic at the end of of day, watching a lot of scaled growers and here I'm under an impression organics with a smidge of chelated nutes will give best potency and flavor. Still learning unfortunately the hard way.
