Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[OneHitDone]

It's been a lot of years, maybe my tech is outdated now.

Yes, white powder nutes are so 10 years ago. Amending your base media with dry organic amendments is where its at these days. No more playing bench chemist every time you go to water your plants.
And oh ya - improved Aroma and Flavor profiles to boot!

P.S. Can you believe Hydro-Gardens bit the dust????

Yes I was very sad to see that.

The good thing about hydro gardens was that their mix was pretty straightforward; you used the mix, calcium nitrate, Epsom salt and maybe a bit of MKP at certain points during bloom. No fighting with micro nutrients.

The issue with organic powdered nutes is that they're not fully soluble, which is a basic requirement in RDWC. Many in fact cause serious issues in the water and promote root rot. About the only exception is humic and fulvic acid and even those don't dissolve worth a damn.

I looked at your diary.
You only use organics. But many of the ingredients are unfamiliar to me, because we don't have such things for sale or growing on the streets. Palm trees, for example, you can't find them here.

From your soil composition I know only perlite vermiculite and EM 1. If I am not mistaken, it is a microbiological additive based on fermented milk bacteria.

We sell it here.



In organic substrate we usually add biohumus, vermicompost, and Guano, only ours is not from bats, but from chickens. It is sold in the store in dry granules.

Guano is usually added closer to flowering, because it contains phosphorus.

But as far as I'm concerned, I'm more inclined to KNF. You've probably heard of KNF. A friend of mine has been growing on KNF for a long time and he always has beautiful plants.

Many in fact cause serious issues in the water and promote root rot. About the only exception is humic and fulvic acid and even those don't dissolve worth a damn.

to be honest, even mineral fertilizers in DWC often develop fungus... slime... etc. You need to wash the tank regularly from time to time.

And organic fertilizers+air+water are a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria.

I believe that in DWC you need to use those organic fertilizers that are fungus themselves and their action occurs exclusively in a very humid environment. We talked about EM1 above - this is suitable for organics in DWC. Also, the above-mentioned method of growing KNF, there are exclusively components that are originally fungus and this fungus counteracts harmful fungi... mold. I am not a big expert in DWC - these are my assumptions.

As for powdered organic fertilizers that are sold in stores, I do not really trust them, because now they add chemicals to all products. I think that in order to have real organic fertilizers, you still need to be a playing bench chemist.))

Here it is, the work of a friend of mine who grows on the KNF

And he also grows vertically.

I'll need to hear more about KNF?

I don't use organic fertilizer; it's all minerals; nutrient double salts like calcium nitrate, mono potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, etc. The moment one adds organic nutrients to RDWC, that's Recirculating Deep Water Culture, it immediately becomes a toxic soup that kills plants.

 

[Sedan]

Bro - it's a bomb! There is no need to control anything at all. There are only mushrooms... you water them, the mushrooms start working. There is an incredible amount of useful components.

The basis of the fertilizer is rice. This is an ancient Korean method, it is thousands of years old. It is very easy to prepare yourself.

that's Recirculating Deep Water Culture, it immediately becomes a toxic soup that kills plants.

)))) Yeah, I can imagine.

I've seen organic fertilizers sold for DWC, but I doubt it's pure organic.

And on the KNF all the time on the surface of the soil white mold appears... like a spider web.))) Only it's useful.

That's what I'm wondering, maybe in DWC it is possible to try KNF. Water for KNF is only a stimulant.

The way you describe it, KNF would be an excellent organic fertilizer to be used in soil.

And if DWC, do you think it won't work?

I'll have to ask George.

 

[OneHitDone]

For KNF to work you need a living ecosystem. The opposite of what tends to work out in DWC

 

[Sedan]

Guys, you convinced me.))

This was my suspicion. In a deep water environment, there really isn't any place for beneficial microbes or fungi to live.

This was my suspicion

Bro, the message disappeared again...

There was nothing bad there.

Who does this?

I saw it yesterday, but I didn't read the text, it was too late for us, today I thought I'd read it... and the post is gone!

I'll make clippings next time.

Yes, it really is very strange! ))

I wonder why this is done. Do you know?

I don't even know who the question is addressed to))

Maybe to you, or maybe to the administration))

You are more used to it here, maybe you can ask the administration not to delete it right away.. so that at least we can read it.)))

Ok then I'm not sure what the issue is?

You gave me an idea))

I checked differently

Here is this person. I checked, his account has already been deleted.
