-----------------
DO NOT WATER AT PH 8 please PLEASE please!!!!


I use 707 - listen, first off - don't add lime, it really is not needed....... loving plants to much. Also dont worry about the run off on this stuff - I spent the first 6 months freaking out about that same thing and realized it does not make a diff. - - - -

THE KEY! SOLUTION! FIX - that i could not find anywhere online, nor find someone who will just answer the damn question of what is a good watering ph for this flippin soil...... :wall:

:mrgreen: WELL, the answer is 6.2 during veg and 5.8-6.0 during flower :blsmoke:

YES! I do know what the soil/ organic soil charts say for nute intake PH spectrum blah blah blah

Its a nice kind of organic soil and it is actually closer to hydro then you might think.

I have the most success with the final product when I use 1gal vermiculite with 4 gal Roots 707 and switched from standard tall pots to smart pots (google em - THEY ROCK!)

Making these two changes allows a lot more oxygen than previously. And will make your babies stronger than you have ever seen before.
-Why is this relevant?

Because the Roots Organic is some bad ass shit and needs zero nutes (maybe 3-5ml/gal cal-mag) through veg and 2 weeks flower assuming veg is less than 5 weeks...... Being so strong some strains react faster than others to the soils ingredients and i used those as my guide to save my first crop years ago.

After this (week 3 in flower - till flush) sup cal-mag 8-10ml/gal and I add half nutes Terra Flores (works great with 707 - its all about good plant uptake)

- Also I have started adding PK 13/14 at 25% strength for three waterings total during flowering and doing so after week 5 for best result to date.

Flush last 3 weeks - don't be a douche and wait till last two or three watering and quickly run water through......

You have worked so hard leading up to that point - you might as well shoot yourself in the foot lol

USING THESE STEPS ABOVE and not loving my plants to much (took years to figure out and lots of $$$) has been the key to my success.......

Take what info you will and hope it helps,

thats smart. Many folks forget to take oxygenation of the root zone into consideration when using large pots.

I use the regular roots organics and love it. On occasion, I will get a batch with a lot of knats so watch for that. Its because they dont sterilize it which I see as a good thing. I talked to them over the phone a year or so ago and basically, the 707 holds more water than the regular; that was about the only difference so if your gonna add perlite or anything to it, you might consider just getting the regular version. It works very well for me.

I don't use Roots soil- but I do use their nutes to supplement my teas and am happy with them for that.

I have started doing my first transplants of seedlings into Ff potting mix - specifically because I always find loads of hypoaspis mites in it. Which is good. They devour root aphid larvae and many other soil baddies... then i switch to KIS Organics water only once they move beyond a solo cup, and my mite population stays healthy the whole way through.

It's been working for me; I've yet to face anything (bug wise) worse than some springtails (NoT throwing a challenge out to the universe!!!! LMAO - I just like my mix)

I amend my KIS soil lightly after harvest and let it "re brew" - using different soil for the next run and alternating batches. I pick amendments based on logic plus anything the last run showed me they were lacking.

Just my .02• :) ....

Interesting. I’m trying a few different mixtures this year outdoors. Figured I’d give 707 a shot as well.

Yeah my issue with roots was a lot of chlorine that was still gassing out if my water. I'm into straight coco and rdwc now..

I have been using this soil for some time now, and find it, an amazing and safe soil for mmj. I add (per 4gal. cont.) 1/2 cup lime, 1 cup earthworm castings, 1 gal. perlite, 1 cup bone meal, 1 cup green sand. I am averageing 3-4 ounces per plant under two 600 watt digital systems w/mondo hoods/lumatek ballast.[/QUOTE.

after mixing the amendments how long to wait to plant into containers

Im using roots 707 -- and this being my first ever grow -- Im having a tough time getting things under control -- I'm certainly not blaming roots, but I seem to be getting nute burn often ( even on watering, not feeding )

Im growing auto ak, 5 plants total -- 1 looks stellar, 1 looks darn good, 2 look ok, 1 guy looks like he wants to die. They are 4 weeks old, and I have fed them twice. I even flushed them last week.. and still one looks like I pissed on him. Daddy is not treating his kids properly...

From what I was told, Roots is pretty mild and requires nutes, but from my experience, it seems that it is a little hot. ( My feedings have been 1/4 strength )

Sounds like a ph issue.
