Overfeeding?

Yellow edges. Is is too hot or the light too close? Also some claws in flowering. Maybe cut down the N a little

KCl is 74.5513 g/mol (according to google)

To make 1000 ml of 2 mole strength solution we would start with 900 ml of distilled or RO water, add 2 x 74.5513 = 149.1 grams of the KCl powder and stir until it's dissolved and then pour into a graduated cylinder and top off with your pure H2O to get a total volume of 1000 ml.

If I am correct you can dissolve about 340 grams per liter of h2o at 68F, that would be saturation.

You don't really have to be all uber precise with it really. I have often just done it to saturation and then added enough H2O to double the volume.

I got my stirrer today. So I just started my first batch of KCl following your directions. I got the better magnetic spinners, but figured I'd try the cheap included one first. Thanks again Ren.

You may wanna return the other spinners because that one is getting the job done. Generally when the bottom of the vortex hits the spinner it will "spin out" and yours is working well enough to get er dun.

I can't turn it up more than halfway though before it gets thrown off. I tried a few more magnets. The long ones really get thrown off easy. I tried one about the same length, but a little fatter, and it gets it roaring a little more. I know it doesn't need to stir like crazy, but I'm having fun messing with this thing.

It's hard to tell from my shitty pics though. And I have a few more to experiment with later.

It's been mixing for almost a day now. Is it supposed be clear, or is it normal for it to look a little cloudy still? I can keep it mixing if I need to.


I'm gonna try using it to mix up a small batch of guano tea when I'm done mixing the KCl. This thing is cool as hell, and have thought of numerous ways it will be helpful. Thanks again Ren.

Sorry for hijacking your thread @Gastheblast.

Just let it sit and that shit will settle out.

I don't mind leaving it mixing for another day if it would help, or is that as dissolved as it's gonna get? Or should I take it off, let it settle out, and then pour off just the clear liquid into another container? I know I have a lot of questions, lol.

And it's only slightly cloudy.

I love liberty haze.

Coco works much better with liquid feed than soil imo. Soil works best with the organic approach.

I think it's just impurities. The Alpha brand has more than the Greenway. I just let it settle out and when I want some I suck it out of the jar with a 60mL syringe. When it gets really low I just dump, rise and repeat.

I did get the Greenway brand. I'm gonna leave it mixing for another day and see if looks clearer for fun. I'm sure it's not gonna get much clearer, but it's my new toy and I'm having fun with it.

Thanks again man, this is cool shit.

Glad you are happy with your purchase. They should put a light in the base of the stirrer so you could fill it with glitter and watch the show lol

With the KCl it's generally as dissolved as it's gonna get within a few hours.
