Well damn, and to think I kept throwing the soil into the yard when I was done.
Any particular reason?That's what I do. I don't reuse.
Yes, but the nitrogen is all nitrate - don't you want some urea in soil? I thought I read that in here somewhwere.Jack hydro formulas have cal mag. If you use tap water and its ppms are high enough it should be fine.
Osmocote is easier to find. Benefit of Polyon is that it releases its salts based on soil temps, not just moisture. I have trouble finding small jars of Osmocote with micros though. Polyon is sold thru suppliers to the commercial ag trade in 50 lb. bags. BWI in the states would be one such outfit but they will refer you to a local feed store, Walmart, nursery who they wholesale to.UB - you mentioned the polyon cfr, in a 18-4-9, can you give us any source where we can order this or where we'd start looking for a retailer? My googling wasn't very successful. Also, you mention Jacks classic like the cirturs you just got. Do you use those alongside the crf or in place of and are you using the citrus yet? It seems as if none of the jacks classics have Ca, do they get enough from the soil - is the supplementation of ca just for hydro? If you're using the citrus feEd how do your girls like it?
I do a second harvest all the time. Cut at a point on the colas where the colas turn to fluff and then put the plant back under the lights to bulk up the lower buds.Have you ever been in a situation where your colas are ripe, ready, and flushed but the bottoms are too fluffy and still immature. I want to give the canopy a buzz cut and let the bottoms go another week or so. There is a lot down there and I would like to see them harden. Any suggestions???
I am using Ph'ed RO with 100 ppm cal mag water should I give em a little juice? I have flushed them quite well and am concerned that my week to 10 days or whatever it needs will be to long with out food.I do a second harvest all the time.

I've heard and have been hearing the same things. Specifically from the Rev. But it makes me wonder. What water was he using before they started table top R/O filters. I think in a style like TLO (if that's what you're referring to), chloramine should be left out, but if you aren't depending on microbes doing ALL the work for you, i don't think it's an issue. More of a style than anything. and obviously chloromine isn't effective in killing gnat larvae so i doubt it kills all microbial activity like most state.Sounds good. On the topic of organics, I've heard the chlorine/chloramine could play an ill effect, would you be willing to clear that up for me?
(Bt) works fantastic as a soil drench to kill gnat larvae, although it's non-systemic, and claimed to have no ill effects. In hindsight however, i'd try a more organic approach. Drenching my soil with a pesticide laden water doesn't make me feel warm and cozy. It definitely works though.Wonder who the author is and if he really has any credentials. Citrus aka orange works, so does a drench of malathion. Not sure about the BT.
flushing is for toilets, do you know what happens to living things when you stop feeding them? Google soil leaching, it is used to remove excess salt build up in soil, you can't flush nutrients out of a plant by flooding it with water.I am using Ph'ed RO with 100 ppm cal mag water should I give em a little juice?

yeah, they get hungry and die. Keeping the plant happy and healthy is the key.They get hungry?
