Party cups are fine- but 3000 ppm!? No wonder people are so adamant about flushing.

How can there be such a disparity- or perhaps you're just being sarcastic?

party cups at 3000 , no flush and i have never done anything with a ppm meter besides check my tap, so i dont know. i know these are the healthiest plants i ever seen , every leaf is reaching for the sky, and dark green.

his theory is that as long as the diet is BALANCED then you cannot over feed unless you cross that line and fuck up your medium. (an apparently 3000 is not enough to fuck that up?!)
i never really payed no mind to his methods cause i have seen it all in my years , so it was not that suprising till i sat an thought about it.

my guess is that 2000 of the 3 is running through the bottom of the cup to the floor ? or another theory i have is that the plant is so big and the roots are so little that it actually uses all that food. (1 cup at 3000 vs 1 gallon at 1200..... makes sense)

Well, I thought it had to do with the properties of salt and osmotic pressures. Balanced or not, if there is alot more salt on the outside of the roots, it will pull the water right out of the plant at the roots due to basic laws of chemistry. That's how I imagine most nute burn really effects a plant. If you slowly build up the salt inside the roots to match this is less of a problem, but I don't think the plant tissues can hold that much salts before something else goes haywire in the system. I really don't know, I am only speculating here. One other thing I always wondered is how the hell dyna-gro manages to make a 1 part nute where all other companies have to make a+b because those chemicals dont play nice together in high concentrations without precipitating. I think I'll call them sometime and ask.

In the end all that matters is if a person's method works for them and they are happy. Growers tend to think their way is the best and of course that's why they use them, although it's amazing how someone else can do the opposite and get good results they're just as happy with...

I think most people's angle is to pump lots of nutes, but I run drain to waste and that would be very expensive, so my strategy is to get the roots to become as efficient as possible... I don't take the credit for this pic, but check out these high pressure aero roots ;)
