Are you using mycos? Does look like she can be easily maxing out that pot, mycos or trichoderma really help in dry conditions by increasing root surface area exponensially via fungal hyphae. Very cool new product in testing in the USA, seed treatment using fungi from arid areas, increases tolerance to heat and drought by over 85 percent, that can buy a day or two depending on pot size. Stuff is called BioEnsure.
And salt build up, and pest, and mold
Eh, no worries on salt build up since I dumped bottled nutes, never had mold on flowering plants (only on fucking up a cure, sadness as nothing is worse than having to throw away a finished product), and only had pests 2 years ago, have no idea where I got broad mites.
hey mh, i did try to innoculate the soil a little further late in veg. shes been mostly getting straight water besides a couple teas so far. mycorrhizeas symbiotic relationship with roots as an extension of the root zone is some fascinating shit. gonna take a look at that product, sounds interesting. i think you're right about the pot being nearly maxed out - not sure if i should try to transplant this late in the game or not
ive definitely noticed a change using a potassium sillicate vs not. i split tested 2 autos on my first grow n the one that had gotten sillica seemed to fair better when temps got too high, and overall looked much healthier for the entire grow. i dont think its real great for microbial life, so on the photos ive only been adding it early in veg to make sure the microbial activity n the soil is flourishing again come flower time
When im in soil silicate dobt really change nothing for me but when im in hydro I can't do a good grow without it my ladies are stronger , internode closer and they are resistant to any kind of disease notnto mention how they are resistant to temps or bugs really helpful without it i havent been able to have a grow without problem
hmm makes me wonder if my soil is lacking a bit if you dont see a change with added silica in soil and i could visually see the difference in the split test almost night n day ... i thought silica was really abundant in most dirt, just not readily available without some work from microbes. Ima use a completely different mix next round so i might as well try the test again. Curious to see if the difference is as dramatic n the new mix or if there will be one at all...cooking it a lot longer this time n starting from scratch instead of using a premixed organic soil as the base
I use a silicate for my coco-coir, rhino skin by advanced nutrients, works great.
is Rhino skin fairly comparable to silica blast and protekt ? AN kinda puts a bad taste n my mouth so Im rocking SB, but Im guessing theyre all pretty close to the same thing
I hate plain liquid silica of any brand. mix in in with some aminos and bam the stuff is like miracle grow. You can have your opinion but I have my facts,proof in the pudding. I also highly doubt "plants make all the aminos they need" at all times.
Facts please then because all you did was stated was an observation, which isn't a fact. Plus mine bounce back just the same when applied.
They are growing! My daybreakers are the 4 on the left, the two on the right are Critical Super Silver Haze (top right) and Headband Haze (bottom right). The two on the right are my first water only grow in quite a while as my other plants are in a coco-coir / perlite mix , fed with advanced nutrients+GH calimagic. Lighting is a 600w Hortilux Super Blue Metal Halide Light with a Quantum digital dimmable ballast, running at 75% power. Suggestions and advice is appreciated, thank you.
ok i will try to be nice. here is your factual information. it is in laymen terms and on youtube so you can easily digest this valuable information. I had already known this from all my years of research by actually growing and I have been growing for over 20 years second generation. I am done here. link this and learn or piss off (
If you buy sensi bloom it has a lot more cal mag in it so you dont need the calmagic as much if at all. if you try GH floralicious you will see that you can't go wrong with it in your nutrient lineup. Only 1ml/gal and it is super cheap and super concetrated.
