Hello fellow farmers,
I have some questions about nutrient buildup in promix while using vegan nutrients (vegamatrix).
A few years ago i started testing my runoff from my ladies and was startled at the results as I was only following manufacturers directions for feeding and was using the nutes with every watering and this led to ppm values being as high 6300 ppm on 1 of my girls while the others ranged from 4500 to 5500. There was no tell tale signs of lockout nothing wrong with the crop at all that I could see but the ppm was so high that I thought if nothing else im wasting alot of nutrients. So I changed up how I was feeding and I feed nutes 1 time per week and any other watering after that would be a tea or molasses and microbes depending on my plants stage of growth.
Now a friend and I are having a discussion about this and he tells me that he believes im losing out on alot of extra weight because I'm basically starving my girls or at least not pushing them to get the best and most that they can produce. I'm looking for intelligent insight into this so that I can optimize my style.
Thanks in advance to any participants
