Hey All!
I am running the botainicare soil lineup: pure blend pro grow, bloom, liquid karma, aqua shield, cal mag plus, sweet, and silica blast. I have been following their feeding schedule, but I wanted to add a flower booster and finisher so I picked up Bushmaster and Gravity today.
I also have B-1 from home depot, super thrive (only for seedlings), fish emulsion, seabird guano, and mix 5ml/gal of h2o2 in my water. I use mad farmer ph up/down. New soil mix is 1.5parts Fox farms ocean forest soil, 1part light warrior, 1 part pearlite and vermiculite. I put hydroton on top of my soil to weigh it down and I also have some sweet dolamite lime and epsom salts.
- I mix my Botanicare nutes based on the soil chart I have from them (week by week chart).
- I currently only use the fish emulsion if I see a N def
- B-1 anytime I use nutes in both and veg and flower
- Bushmaster as directed when the cycle changes to flowering
- Gravity as directed 3 weeks before harvest.
- I run a soil/water PH of 6.0 for seeds and 6.3 for veg and flower.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this line-up, revisions, cut back here, step this up there type information I am all ears! My yields have been great, but am looking to dial my nutes in (just added bush master andgravity to push my flowering into over drive).
I am going to get a new PH pen that does TDS too, because when I add gravity I cannot calculate 300ppm of my botanicare line-up and worry that just adding 1/4 of the recommended dose of everything is just guessing.. So I addGravity by itself like the label says you can do.
Ok, so my questions, any feedback on the line up? Anyone have experience with Bushmaster, Gravity, or Botanicare and care to offer advice? See anything wrong with my process? Additions? Can I take advantage of my other items more?
Let me know! This is my third medical grow and my medicine could definitely benefit from the feedback!!! I am planning on getting some sand to use on top of mysoil instead of hydroton.. In my last crop I mixed up subcool's organic mix and didn't have to add any nutes until flowering, but next time I plan on using my new mix and adding their nutes week by week for veg too... Thoughts on this? For or against? Also, when I transplant seedlings or vegetative plants into Fox Farms ocean forest, the plants don't seem to need any nutes for awhile.. So I use plain R/O water with 5ml/gal of H2o2 and 5ml/gal liquid karma, or should I still blast them with something? Maybe just the Silica and sweet?
Thank you all in advance!
