Yeah I just recently grew a whole pack of straight 88G13HP couple generations down the line and was very disappointed. But everyone says the BT is killer so I am keen for it. I thin he has a few crosses too with some Karma gear so will be able to see all it has to offer I reckon

I've read that 88g13hp is a breeder not to special by itself but loves a cross.
If you crossed it you might do well, I've put all my breeding plans on hold need to catch up on the old dinero the covid has fucked me right in the back pocket

Anyone purposely reveg after week 3 of flower?
I'm doing it to a Black Triangle outdoor yield should be up there. I'm at day 14 now so ill go back to 18/6 next week. I'll run it on 18/6 for 3 weeks and then take an hour off a week after that until I get to 15/9 and put it outside.

just had a squiz and it looks like the same application rates for broadacre and vegetables as what I use so between 4-10ml per litre. Personally I go 5-6 ml and hit them with it twice as often.

Is that the cal mag man.

How high ec do run the nitrate at. It said use it at 400ppm which is .8 ec.

yeah that’s the cmb (cal/mag/boron). Here’s a link to what I’m using (PDF at bottom for dosages) so you can compare it yourself if you want to.

cal nite I just foliar at about 2 grams per litre. That bottle stuff you got is mostly cal/nit with some mag and boron added with water. If your lugging it to your bush grows and there’s water there already just take in a bag of cal/nit and a sprayer and mix it at the plants. They’d probably prefer the extras in the bottled stuff slightly more but waters too heavy to be lugging if it’s not necessary. Can also use it to boost you base feeds N levels, start with your base and add cal/nit till you hit the ec your chasing.

For example, Jacks uses a 3-2-1 formula with calnit so 3 parts jacks, 2 parts calnit and 1 part mag sulfate for a veg mix and just drops the cal/nite for flower.

Yeah ffrom what ive learnt after a few phone calls it's just the Melbourne ones delayed

Seems that Melbourne is starting to clear it's backlog. I had an eBay parcel delayed and ostensibly lost. Auspost agreed to refund the value of the item (just a pair of noise-reduction duct clamps) and the product miraculously turned up late yesterday afternoon, in the rain. Looks like the refund came through late yesterday too.
Just be aware that my sources inform me of a 30% reduction in the Melbourne Auspost employees,from yesterday and over the next couple of weeks, to slow the Covid spreadage.

what you got there should be sweet. The calcium is the more important part in cal mag and that one you have had a decent cal to mag ratio. You could grab some magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) if you need to add more magnesium but you probably won’t need it.

nearly all cal mags on the market are some mixture of calcium nitrate/magnesium sulphate with maybe a little chelated iron sprinkled in.

Ok cool man really appreciate the advice.
I hit the aks with some nitrate like 8 granules to a litre checked ec. .8 yesty they look nice an green.
5 mls of that cal mag is like half a litre to 100 litres?
That correct so id be using round 4 litres a feed.
