The company BioAg mixes those trace minerals with humic acids (to help absorption) in their TM-7 fertilizer. So I guess you're on the right track in your tinkerings. You could save yourself some work and pick some up for like 10 bucks.

A little extra P right when flowering starts can't hurt. Besides the nutrients they contain, the amino acids in fish guts can also stimulate your plants to take up other micronutrients out of the soil. This can make your grow Hi Brix and even help with resistance to mold and mildew. If...

And a good day to you, sir! Branded, especially the early episodes, was truly a source of inspiration. I've been messing with some Bulletproof SI (cutting edge solution's silica) at it seems as good as any other bottle of silica.

What's up with your lights? Are they super bright and intense? Your plants may be too close to the lights. Or maybe you've got your lights dialed up to max intensity and the plants are too small for that. What's up with the burns? Are they all up high on the plant or down low, or all over...

I agree about the Lockout. Molasses has a low pH and maybe with your pH down it's too much? Or maybe it's too much K right now and it's causing the lockout. Either way, consider dropping it for awhile and see if there is any change. I don't think you need molasses at all. Especially not...

Healthy plants are the Real soil test.

Personally, I would use less than that. Maybe 1/4 cup or something. I would be careful with potassium sulfate and mineralized phosphate. All the meals are pretty mild but I don't have a lot of experience mixing up mineral salts. I imagine they're really soluable and might mix up strong. I...

It works just fine. Sometimes it's easier than to water than to top dress a whole bunch of pots.

Maybe peat bogs are in trouble in Europe, but Canada has millions of acres of peat bogs.

For your first time I would go with some kind of granular all-in-one dry fertilizer mix. Something with a Grow recipe and a Bloom recipe. Then some Earth Worm Castings to layer on top of that, if you wanted. There are a bunch of different brands. Dr Earth "All Purpose" for grow and "Flower...

Did the whole plant shift to that lime green color all at once, overnight or very quickly? Or did the color change creep on slowly, from the top down? Or maybe the bottom up?

Water only is a nice idea to day-dream about, but I think trying to go Water Only is just making things hard on yourself for no good reason. It can be very difficult to build a soil mild enough for young plants and strong enough to get you through flower. I think its way easier to build a...

There are all kinds of different categories of public land. Some preserves or reserves are supposed to be untouched and pristine. Other public land is managed specifically to be used for logging or cattle grazing, or to be used by people. I'm sure you were just talking about grabbing some...

Rotting wood chunks are great in your soil mix. You're looking for spongy, wet, crumbly stuff you can break apart with your hands. Sometimes when I gather this stuff up I find a colony of ants, or some gross looking grubs or centipedes tunneling through the wood. If this happens, I don't gather...

I use empty jugs from protein powder. Or the gallon size plastic jug espresso comes in. Wide mouth mason jars are good too.

The net needs to be high enough above the pots that you have enough room to get in there and water. If you flower in 3 gallon fabric pots you will be watering a lot, and reaching to the back row of the tent/box can be an issue. Make sure you have enough space!

Chucks of rotting wood from the forest are great too. They hold air and lighten the mix like aeration. They also retain moisture and introduce fungus and bacteria like compost.

Perlite is totally effective and cool. As long as I don't flood my pots with inches of standing water on top of the soil, I've never had issues with it floating to the top. Lava rock and broken up lava rock is OK too. It's just that it's still pretty big and I would be worried about texture of...

You will get your monies worth out of a Gorilla Tent. The material is thicker, the vents are bigger, the pull tabs on the zipper are wider/sturdier, the poles are stronger, etc. Everything is "better" than the cheaper tent. Despite all of that, the Gorilla Tent will Not yield more. All it's...

If you don't know how to feed plants all through flower with "Organic" stuff, it is more efficient to use chemical fertilizers. If you don't have enough "organic" stuff to feed throughout flower, it is more efficient to us chemical fertilizers. When you have a system that works, there will be...
