[Budies 101]

Love them both and with eggs shells I make calcium phosphate with them. I'm making some as we speak.

Cool, Any recipe for say 1 gallon medium? Foxfarm Ocean Forest, and Like, 4 eggs and 2 tbl of Epsom?

just looking for simple soils water only. Probably ordering Kindsoil again, ( loved it ), but your post above might look into for sure. Currently doing Coco/soil/air injection into root zone experiment, so Im looking for super fast healthy growth with simplicity.

but heck, I can throw your recipe above together over night,lol..

Thanks man

Mix the peat moss with the Kellogg and the growstones with 3 cups Flower girl and I also add a bag of castings in the mix I also just reamenend my soil every time I need to reuse it. You can get most of it from HomeDepot just the worm castings and the Growstones that I gave a link of in case you can't find it locally. I've been using this recipe for a year now. I do use tea and Lacto Bacillus every other feeding just to the beneficial life in the soil is feed and there's no need to ph or flush

I don't PH the soil will correct it but I let the water sit out for 24 hours to let some of the chlorine to evaporate.

We have chloramine in water. Was advised sitting out 24 hours will noy evaporate chloramine.
This is used most often by municipal water.

This is the best and cheapest way to get rid of chloramine that I know of.

@REALSTYLES at this point what is your preferred Kelvin for Veg?
Any thoughts on the 6500K vs 5000K?

vitamin c (ascorbic acid) works great too and it's incredibly cheap.. can be bought online for $10-15/lb and takes literally a pinch to neutralize the chlorine/chloramine in a whole 55 gal res...

 

[Getgrowingson]

Also 1 tablespoon per 5 gal of molasses will also neutralize chloramine according to microbeman

It's a tough call lol. They both work great it all depends on how bushy you want the plants. I've also vegged and bloomed under 5600k CXB 3590 Studio 2 97 CRI and it worked great. I'll start a dedicated grow soon in a 2x4 tent and 250w although I can run the light at 500w

Peat is NOT a renewable resource, use coco in its place, its a better medium than peat anyway. I ditched hydro for soil and glad I did!

here's a nice plant in 3.9 gallons of organic soil, no teas, no top dressing, just given RO water with 120 ppms of cal/mag in every gallon. Light was a shitty Vipar and still the plant grew well. That's one plant in a 4'x4' space.

Or pro-mix/coco/perlite

 

[pop22]

No, it does not do anything to chloromine. However, you can get rid of it quickly by, of all things, adding chlorine bleach to the water. it breaks the bonds of the ammonia and they both will then evaporate if you let the water stand over night.

Also 1 tablespoon per 5 gal of molasses will also neutralize chloramine according to microbeman

Auto pots is a SIPS system. I've been using them a couple years now and love them. Especially with organic soil. Fill the reas with water and watch them grow! No mad scientist, ocd shit, measuring this and that and testing this and that, screw all that shit. Now I have time to really watch and work with the plants them selves

is that in the same league as undercurrent when it comes to uptake? (assuming undercurrent is the gold standard)

 

[pop22]

its a myth, it does not break the amonia bonds of the chloromine.

Not a myth - its well documented: http://www.sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4125

 

[Stephenj37826]

Just think.... I add chloromine to my rdwc lol.
