Haha, I feel like I post too much because few others do. Keep it up, looking forward to seeing what you pull off. I just got informed that I have some super elite clones on their way from a loong ways away ha. So pumped.

If you saw on the other post I'm not sure if I'm having a cal issue or a burning issue... what do you use for calmag and how much per gallon?

Yeah I actually have a small amount of magical sample, think I'm going to switch to that and see... buy into the gallon next time I hit the shop

You have successfully had a full run at 1ml a gallon with ro and recomend it?

Not sure what the clones are I just know they are coming from someone seriously high up in the scene who extended the olive branch to me. I can't wait!!!!

Should be game changing genetics for me, or for anyone for that matter. We'll see...

Please keep me posted on your magical usage if you ever change it from 1ml per gallon.

Thanks! I'll keep ya posted when the girls come through

Cool, keep me posted on that please, not sure if 1ml per gallon will be enough or what but they say it is. You say you top off with ro, no cal mag added to that?

Na, I've always done 1ml calimagic per gallon.... following the chart ppm's closely usually being about 50 ppm over (700 ish tops on ppm 500) but if the air to ppm thing is true (one of the first Google searches I just did says rule of thumb 1 lpm per gallon) I've been way over doing the air... so hopefully that's why I'm getting burn/ not the size I'm looking for. Root issue was taken care of with ro water, let's hope this is just too much air/nutrients for me and I'll be styling


What are you topping out at (ppm 500)and what's your lpm for those systems?

And any reason you chose to use magical over calimagic?

That is a good question. The main problem I have seen from most grow failures is that people will start out with a dead rez and try and keep everything as clean and sterile as possible but overlook a small detail and then go into panic mode when a problem arises. Then the first thing they do is think " I saw this guy use bennies on the forum and all his problems went away so I will do that too". Well at that point you may as well just throw 5 gallons of gasoline on your garden and lite it up. When it comes to growing, there are many diciplines out there and they all fit into the growers style and preferences. But here is the catch. You can't mix them together. They don't play nice because the science is not compatable. It is just that simple. I think the guys growing organic grow some of the most delicious smoking herb you can get but the yield suffers. On the flip side, the guys doing the sterile route and killing it with potency and yeild, but usually smokes without great flavor. I always try and remain open to whatever the growers preferences are as well as their style on doing it. To me one way is not better than the other. But where I draw the line is when you have these really shady companies selling shit in a bottle and calling it Unicorn Tears promising to be the end all be all product for whatever ails you super tonic lightning is a bottle. So I really like seeing the new guys chime in with questions like yours to point out the obvious. Now on another note, I feel that the reason the UC threads of late have been so barren is due to the fact that nothing new has hit the scene for a good ass minute. No new equipment breakthroughs, no real nute breakthroughs either. So I feel that until something pops off to change that, it's the same ol same ol. I haven't been on in a while because I took some time off to travel and get a fresh perspective on it all. Kind of like a T Break on life.

I agree. I also think that a large dropoff is because with the legalization efforts in so many states that some folks have decided it is just easier to go buy it instead. Growing is actually hard work and a real time sucking drain from ones life. It gets old after a while and the thought has crossed my mind more than a few times to say fuck it. I'll just go to the store and get some.
