yes, hey Jim tell me ,my DP Powerplant is throwing baby bananas @9wks I want to let her go at least another week will that be ok?Yea, it's fun isn't it.
Hey Doc,
One of the many things I love about herb, beside the product, is the fact that you never really stop learning. Each day I learn something new, try a little tweek here and there to test ideas, and hopefully improve my skills and crop. It never gets boring and the better you get at it, the better your product, which in my case translates into more money and a better buzz. Another cool thing about growing are sites like this one, which in my viewpoint is the best out there, where you have the opportunity to discuss and learn things from dinosaurs like you, who have grown bud since the dawn of time it seems.
So thanks for the info and the opportunity to share thoughts on what is best for the plants. Peace to you brother, and Happy Growing! (I'll bet my herb is better than yours)
you are welcome sir! in most hydro, pH should be slightly rising and EC slightly dropping. if that is happening, you are probably doing it right.
dirt is for racing or tomatos. IMHO>
Agreed. The best tomatoes are definitely grown on hydro, too. He's right about the rest though.Well, you're wrong. But whatever.
Sorry, but you have a hermie if you see those. There are 2 main reasons that a plant goes hermi, one being stress and the other being genetics. You will have seeds from that plant, and if it was a stress issue ( heat, too much food or PH issues) you will have usable seeds, though they will not be all female as some claim (been there). If you grew the plant in good conditions, then it is genetic and the seeds are usless.

no seeds just tiny baby bananas popping up in the last few daysSorry, but you have a hermie if you see those.

I hope that is the case, and I'll light a candle for you just in case.no seeds just tiny baby bananas popping up in the last few days
thanks for ur time broI hope that is the case, and I'll light a candle for you just in case.
I'm sick of having to constantly calibrate and fuck around with my PH meter, I just want one that works, that will work for atleast 6 months without having to replace pieces....
What do you guys do? Why do PH meters suck so bad?
Ok, I see your point on Hydrated - to a point.....There are other things besides those I listed and I don't use Dolomite near as much as most, and I never use prilled Dolo. I feel Dolo is too high in Mg and use only 50% or less (your right, it's for down the road, reused, re-amended soil)....Powdered will help faster but still not my ball of wax.....
I simply have a problem with hydrated as being so fast...MANY around here don't understand that - they have NEVER gardened before.....Very easy to get Ca tox fast
AFAIK it is much more common to find dolomitic limestone, which has something between 6-12% magnesium. Relatively pure dolomite lime would be roughly 50% magnesium carbonate (more likely around 45%), which would contain about 14% magnesium.
Calcium hydroxide is easier to over apply and doesn't last in soil as long as pulverized limestone or eggshell would.
Grow in organic soil and toss your ph meter in the trash...I've bought 3 PH meters now, granted I got the less expensive digital ones, (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2118394622&pf_rd_i=desktop) and another by Elekticity.
They've all pretty quickly quit working properly, even with regular calibration.
It seems like a total bitch to keep having to replace them
So I then decided I'd buy a good one (thinking on this unit)
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A2UF33ZOMUKZ9G)
but it seems like the electrode is still prone to failure.

Not if you redress/uppot with fresh soil. Months later I still get about 6.5 soil pH.While fox farms ocean forest (my preferred soil) is buffered, it is still important to PH the water, as ultimately the soil will adapt the ph of the water running through it.
