I am using the correct ratios and it has shown to out grow compared to the water to a lil runoff method from what I have observed. What stress does it cause? I have not noticed any increased smell nor any other stress indicators...the reaction I see from them is favorable and the growth is amazing
I do not wet the whole plant but just the dirt...had a losing bout with Botrytis cinerea though so am quite weary of moisture in flower
Well in light of the fact that Riddleme's threads are all about some good info, why don't you share your explanation of precisely how Illumination is providing bad advice?
And here is where I show just how new I am at this... I plan on following this with the exception of the fact that I don't have the Dynagrow. and I don't currently have any ph up or down. Will have to use the old standbys lemon juice and baking soda. But other than that, In about an hour the girls get rained on. (Gotta get out and pick up more water!)Ok I have 5 gallon containers and this is exactly what I do
Take 10 gallons ro water per plant that needs rain
Add 1 ml per gallon Dynagro Protekt per gallon (ph stability and silica saturation of media)
Ph it to 5.8
Run all 10 gallons through
Mix nutes in 2 gallons water to 750 ppm (currently, adjusted as plants tell me) Ph to 6.5
Pour those 2 gallons of feed water through
I do this every time the containers get light...approximately 30% full wet weight ( I have found they prefer not getting too dried out, and with lotsa of perilite they drain awesomely)
this is the rain method I have developed which works best for me...your mileage may vary...the plants will guide you
Namaste'
Apple Cider Vinegar my friend
very cheap, all grocery stores have it and good for plants, a very little bit drops ph a lot
properly making it rain requires that you PH the water to 5.8, soil/medium should be ammended to return PH to 7 once water is transpired out. It is this combination that makes the technique work
Sorry I missed it also. I did listen to that damn song three times and I am positive it makes no referance to MJ. Sad thing is I'll be singing it to myself all damn day!I love that the thread went crazy last night, sorry I missed it
did a search for "water pumping" and did not find one single reference to plants or gardening, no pot growing forums came up either?
I did however find a regge song called water pumping so it makes me wonder?

Some of you might remember this thread???
It works both ways, beauty of others experimentin is that the technique can be refined or modified to fit your garden
Bonzi that flowchart was funny as hell, and taint did seem to interrupt a conversation, not to share any more valuable information that he did
