sweet man, thanks for that!i will take you up on that offer im sure haha. do you not add any perlite? have you tried any amendments before? do you feel there is no need ? and what nutrients do you run ? just drillin ya with the questions here sorry man haha
I use
promix HP (currently using proterra which is basically the same thing) with no extra perlite. I have and sometimes do amend it with worm castings and
gaia green 4-4-4, but didnt this last run and I'm having even faster growth than usual for whatever that's worth. I for sure feel there is no need to amend it if you're feeding it a quality well balanced nutrient.
I run
botanicare pure blend pro grow, at 1.2-1.3 ec, ph'd to 6.1-6.2 using potassium silicate. My starting water is 100ppm ph 7.2. I do feed feed water cycles and always water to 10% runoff, and only test the runoff ppm, not ph. During the "water only" cycle I bring my ppm up to 250 with calcium silicate or calcium carbonate on an alternating basis.
I'm also becoming a huge fan of using
promix in squat fabric pots. Huge, huge fan. You should check out the more recent posts in my grow diary if you havent seen it. Getting wild growth in the fabric pots of
promix.
