heres the chart i used

 

[mrt1980]

I used it the other night, it says 5ml per ltr, there's also a wee chart thing on it that I couldn't really understand lol. Not long going thru it in hydro systems with big res's, not than dear anyway

i didnt think anyone would have read it that fast. i edited my post when i checked my chart lol

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Think its 5-6ml and every other feed with water inbetween. I know I've burnt mine afore feeding every go. does improve taste but I'm near sure its a flush n sweetener.

Well i hope some cunt knows what it supposed to do lmao, these fuckin lables ffs. Wouldnt be much use if its a flush tho ,still given it a feed at the same time, makes no sense to me that. A few guys use it near off from the start, i just added it last few wks then last couple days plain water, im not a heavy feeder tho with ro.

i use it and it says to use for the last 10 days its 6ml per L. it says not to give them other nutes
week 7 is when i start giving it to them, week 5 is when i start giving them pk

Pretty much what I've done this grow mrt, gave them ionic boost, the pk one around week 5 and the ripen week 7

Ive read it's a complete replacement for ur bloom nutrient

im going to start giving half of my plants ripen from today and keep feeding the other half with full nutes. i got to chop down a week friday beacuse im having new widows put in. they came up to measure today. we told them we wouldnt be in but they said they can measure them from outside. i just ignored anyone knocking my door. they'll be near 9 weeks on 12/12 then i think, they took an extra week to show signs of sex tho

The NPK ratios dont look that it could, not on its own. It says on mine its a late flowering nute, so bascally a boost of sorts to me anyway not a complete base nute replacement.

 

[mrt1980]

i dont think its supposed to replace the nutes. its the change in the nutes it takes in to tell the plant its dieing. i dont know how it does it, perhaps it mimics decomposing plants. talking on here with a come down aint good lol

I read that on growell jimmy, every site probly says something different, last 10-14 days on its own will do for me

Theres no N in it so you couldnt replace your base nutes with it mate your girls wouldnt thank you for it. They still need some N in flower so giving them none at all wouldnt be good. It has PK so its a late boost of sorts, it cant be a flush if its giving PK at the same time either.

My tanks weren't empty when I added ripen there was still a good 20-30 litres in them and I never drained them so there probly still gettin some other nutes, ahh well we'll see how things go, all good at the min anyhow

 

[IC3M4L3]

well im just adding low level nts with the ripen,, il check tonite if ive burned them to death

on another note playing black ops 2 on pc,, rather good

so wat we sayin on the ripen with nutes or not?

Just cant see how ripen can be replaced with these NPK ratios as a complete bloom feed 0 6 5. The NPK ratios tell you all you need to know mate, if your happy with that thats all that matters as its your grow. I wouldnt replace my bloom nutes for thos, but thats just me i guess.

Each to there own eh, even so it's only the last 10-14 days plus they been let go an extra week. It also says no need for flushing with ripen. I'd rather give ripen for the last week or more than just plain water. But as I say m8 each to there own, it's goina grow either way lol

its not ment to feed them mate. its the same thing as flushing them at the end. thats why it says last 10 days

 

[scotia1982]

It breaks dwn the nutes left and.makes.it.easier for the plant to digest.in the last 10 dys,also supposed ro increase resin production and improve taste

Thats all i got from ya lol, so i took it thats what you ment "complete" like your ditching your bloom nutes and just running ripen.

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Yeah for the last week or so just ripen has enough init on its own but its not a complete bloom nute like i thought you ment mate. But dont think of ripen as a flush lads it isnt as its adding PK, so its a mini pk boost with a few extras thrown in. Thos who flush will still want too but thats up to you. As its just a pk boost (with extras) you can also use it with base nutes, theres nothing stopping you.

 

[mantiszn]

I read this once upon a time..

Ripen is a finishing solution to be used in place of your usual nutrient during the last two weeks of flower. It will assist the ripen process and the removal of unwanted salts.


GHE Ripen acts in two ways. It flushes unwanted nutrient salts from your harvest leaving you with a clean finished product with excellent flavour and aroma whilst at the same time gives the plant a strong signal that it is approaching harvest. This assists in the plants final swelling and ripening process.
GHE worked on this product for many years before perfecting it and it is highly recommended.

see all this contradictory shit, thers never just a straight answer,, after last night checking my shit im happy that its not long to go, il finish this culdren of boost a and b and just use the ripen,.

i heard it gives the plant a signal that its time to die sorta thing,,
