NFTG. Nectar For The Gods

So in a rush this morning my nectar plant needed fed. I did a quick slurry and got a ppm of 640 and 6.8 pH. So Instead of feeding I did a flush.
- base water 140 ppm
-2 Tbl Herculean Harvest
-ph'd to 6.2
-1 tsp Slf 100
-1 tsp Mammoth P
So how did I do considering my slurry data? I added the mammoth just because I wanted to get some in there.
You know what I think drove my ppms and pH up is before I got all the inoculates I was using the nectar bump teas in the bible along with the roman regimen. I was using the late veg instant nectar tea using nectar nutes and adding photo plus. I have inoculates and instant tea now so won't be using the nectar bump teas any more. Should have figured that would happen using the whole roman regimen

And how careful should I be spraying Bloom khaos right now. I'm still spraying the whole plant. Should I be lightly dusting under the leaves and branches? I m in 3ed day of flower

U can spray up to the beginning or 3rd week…. When they start to develop Pom poms stop foliar …..

dont have to worry about the slurry , nothing changes cause you added a few things , its just as important , now be nice to see if adding other stuff will raise the ph or drop it more same with ppms …. With slurries just do what u do …

That's what I'm doin just Rollin with it learning. I do have 1 concern and its my well water. Its ph is 7.3 and 450 ppm(7scale). I've been diluting it with distilled into range around 140ppm adding nutes then pH. I had it tested no harmful bacteria. I used the test strips. No nitrite but medium to low nitrate. Its very hard and alkaline. But when I dilute it does that fix the problem. I really don't understand alkalinity too well.

Is there a way I can just build my own base water out of distilled. That's really what I want to do. How do I do that with Demeter's. Also heard of mag amped

I don't know if I asked this but on tea day should I just use my well water?? I always aerate the water itself over night with an air stone, then a distilled till ppms are in range, then ph, before adding anything to it. Does the chlorine or nitrate hurt the microbes in the solution alot? There's no nitrite.

Ppms are a little high nothing alarming , rule of thumb is use teas on tea days and feed on feed days … so your next slurry if still high do a tea , or cut down your feeding a little bit….. it’s seems your doing a feed feed feed , feed feed herc….. watch your ph , should be up around 6.5 …

Yes it could kill some off .. always good to air off over nite before using … and really you don’t need to ph the water … just mix and pour or see what the ph after adding your microbes , I know with ez tea my ph is around 6.6 to 6.8 … again I’m using RO.

Mag amped is a hit or miss , again you can up the mount using the same bottles … build your own water base ? I think it mite be better if you go with an RO … there you can build it ….. with my RO I start with using full on add that as my micro nutrients and go from there …..

That’s what I was looking for……. Ph is not bad but 450 ppm is high … seems in winter time the ph is higher … maybe it’s time to invest in a simple RO system …. Do u know what’s in your well water? My well is ph 7.3 and ppms 200 ,also have a lot of calcium…

Should always spray under leaf , just before lights on or just after lights off , so you don’t get burnt spots when lights are on …

How do you like those Timbers? I'm waiting on a few Cypress 6's. Are yours 3000K, 3500K?

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get a notification and was just browsing the thread and saw this.

I love my Timbers. I run COBs, all mine are 3500k and they do a wonderful job. With Timber you get a quality product with people that really stand behind them. Trust me you will be more then satisfied!

See I don't know what's in it I had it tested by city for harmful bacteria and a few things and that's fine but no idea what else is in it. My grow is in 1 bedroom efficiency back in the woods down the street from me. Its like my away from home man cave Lol. That well has to be very old So who knows. The place still has buss fuses. Anyway. I know you know your shit about this line. I like the thought of distilled/to because I know exactly what's in it. Last run I did I used fox farm and calmag in between.all mixed with distilled and had no issues. Ya know adding the calmag to distilled pretty much makes perfect synthetic tap water lol. So i use the same water for everything teas feeds and flushes. I really really want to know how to build a well rounded base water to use for my feeds teas and flushes instead of tap but has the elements of tap water. I have no problem having to buy distilled. I've asked this question to tons of people but people don't like the question cuz its kind of a fuckin loaded question. Please help.

I'm in 1st week of flower with humidifiers running at full blast still can't get the humidity above 30. Night times no problem

Hey bubba. I don't if you're up but I gotta water and just did a slurry. Ppms are in range on the high end. But my ph was 7. I'm thinking tea its a tea day.

I did a tea.
Base water 120 ppms ph'd it down to 6.4.
1 tsp ez tea bloom
1 tsp mammoth P.
What do you think?
Also question about watering. Ive been watering every other day using 1 gallon of water getting tiny bit of runoff in my fabric pots. By the end of the day in between waterings the plant seems to need watered but its nearing lights out. So I wait until the morning and by that time they're dying to be watered. So do I wait till morning or water at night or just pretty much water when they need it no matter the time of day. Cant while lights out ya know.

The tea looks good….. so I’ve been watching my tents with the humidity and this is what I found … after watering my humidity will go up to 40-50% which is a good range .. after a day my humidity will drop down in the 30s % … so that’s telling me with using fabric pots that it’s pulling moisture from there so now I give them just a little bit more water…… so with yours I would water in the evening a little or up the water you give them now … so with that 1 gallon u feed how many ? Up it 1-1/2 gallons and see or maybe 2 gallons ? As there in flower and wanting more you mite be on a twice a day watering with low humidity …
