Can I come in and add? muahahah....
Calmag is not needed with RO....I only use calplex and never exceed 5ml/g in bloom...and I cut it out by wk6. I also never precharge coco and use it straight- no cut.
No need for run off....that leads to other issues. Again as you mentioned Drip Clean for the win if using chems in coco, but I never have run off...not even when flushing. If there is no salt build up, there is no need for run off. Learning how much your plants drink a day leads to even less over feeding, less use of nutrients, and more rapid root growth due to proper wet/dry cycles.
Agreed, no extra additives are necessarily needed...only necessesities i find are, humics/fulvics/aminos and kelp. I add a PK boost and play with sulfur levels as I choose. Unless working a bio field even carbs aren't needed as much (yes ive done side by sides) and gatorade works fine when needed (thanks Obs!).
and my secret coco tip for the day....pH to 6.0...just sayin ;)
and lastly....organic coco for the super win and ease, fuckin ronco style- "set it and forget it."
ya buddy come hang with me in here.
haha
first off. good call on the calplex...I would be following that but I use blumats these days and that ish can NOT sit for too long.
Leading me to calimagic...which has the highest calcium level of any product I can find, is stable and add's little nitrogen.
so....there ya go on that...
second....run off is only neccesarry at transplant in my opinion. I should have been more clear about that. You are absolutely correct. But I do think 30% at transplant is a good rule of thumb, especially if your not washing coco or anything. I find that some smaller particulate washes out with only a gallon or so of run off. This is the only place I'm having issues anymore...transplanting into large containers.
Gonna let mine rise to ph6 and see what I notice...seeing as everything else is dialed, this can be my new testable variable.
Pk boosts are necesarry, and soluble seaweed or kelp can be a great addition at early flower to stop stretch!!!good call..
overall honestly...I don't think much else is needed. Quit using fulvic/humiscs but eventually will be looking for what limiting variables are left.
Been hard a work dialing shit.
