Holy trichomes batman! I know that was korny, but it just popped in my head. lol Been smokin some mango out of the bubbler while I admire your ladies. They look so frosty man, it is just amazing how you can improve on your incredible previous rounds. I think you have found your calling B.
Thank you my friend, you always boosted my spirits and given me crucial input whenever I needed.
From the bottom of my heart man, I am really happy for the both for your new setup and the amazing harvest that your are going to put out anytime now.
Little experiments constantly seem to be a part of our grows. I think that is crucial in kicking things up a notch.
I am bummed that you dropped the extra doh on the Bloom line and it didn't make a positive difference, but on the other hand I think that was a very necessary step to give you a peace of mind when you are running your original H&G nute regimen, in knowing that it is definitely much more in the optimal range of nutrition profile your plants like.
Couple of thoughts I want to share with you, as we have been learning from each other from the beginning, and you have definitely provided me with a lot support, so these are some observations/research from this round, some of it might be of interest to you.
I am using the least amount of nutrient strength this round then ever, and I am also the happiest this round. I hand feed my girls once a day, and I have probably gone up to total EC of 2.0 (1000ppm @ .5) for only 1 or 2 feeds. The rest of the time I have stayed around EC of 1.0-1.4, averaging ~1.2 EC for my entire round. 600ppm is unheard of during peak flowering, yet it seems to be working great for me. If I start going higher I start seeing tip burn. Focusing on micro-life, enzymes, and humics/fulvics can definitely make the up take of nutrient a lot more efficient, thus requiring much less nutes. This helps in keeping the lowest amount of salt buildup and lock out, thus making everything available.
This round I also fluctuated my pH a hefty bit, from 5.4-6.1. I am not running all organics, so I reckon that different elements are taken up better at different pH.
BTW drip cleaner is indeed an amazing product, in making sure you have salt build up the entire round. I reckon the drip cleaner is pretty much chemical chelating agents like EDTA that bind your nutes and makes them available to the plant. I really wanted to use this and actually even picked up a small bottle. I never ended up using it because I found out that EDTA will drive the quantity of the beneficial herd in the pots to shit. This round I really wanted to focus on the bennies so I looked for some thing else that would chelate but not harm the bennies. Fulvic Acid turns out to be natures Chelating Agent. It does a lot more then that, but its' chelation properties are indeed amazing and a huge contributing factor on how well it works.
We don't usually notice when our micro herd is suffering because we run synthetics and they don't need to be broken down to be taken up by the plant. We are infact using the micro herd mostly for its secondary purpose, which is root health. A 100% organic grower who relies on the micro herd to produce enzymes that will break down/digest/transfer all the nutes in the soil. The full on organic gardener will almost immediately notice the plants suffering when exposed to EDTA.
I am still using cal-mag with EDTA and a lot of other synthetics which are probably constantly killing the micro herd, that I keep adding from time to time, but for future rounds I am trying to find an organic based nutrition line, which will tolerate the micro herd and not destroy it. Step 1 for me is def gonna be to find a good organic source of Ca, Mg, and N.
My bad raider didn't intend for the post to be this long, just wanted to share some things that I think might be of interest to you and some other folks.
My god, what a sexy grow. Those colas on your first CJ are unreal btw. Subscribed. Nice job
Hello, welcome to the journal. Really appreciate you kind words.
I must ask before I end up calling you bro or something, your screen name "GyrlGrower," is it indicating that you grow female marijuana plants hence girl grower or does it mean you are a girl who is growing. LOL I think I might be over thinking this a bit much.
never fail to impress, strength to strength bro
