    Magnesium and Potassium Lockout due to too much Calcium?

    Yes! Thank-you very much! That's exactly what I was trying to say. @Rougedawg explained it much better than I. You'll have to excuse my own naivety in what I was trying to convey. The chart represents what happens at the plant's roots. Not surrounding environments.

    Magnesium and Potassium Lockout due to too much Calcium?

    Though Mulder's Chart is plant specific, I believe so, yes. Calcium is a huge deal for good soil structure. (sorry can't state this enough) Breaks the soil up and forms peds / aggregates. Then those aggregates slowly dissolve overtime. In the presence of straight lockout, it could, yes. But...

    Magnesium and Potassium Lockout due to too much Calcium?

    @weedstoner420 - I have to correct myself. I didn't mean to suggest Mulder's Chart isn't useful in Hydroponics. Straight lockouts and deficiency Mulder's Chart can still be handy. Only to say Calcium's relationship with soil is different. In soils calcium is a great soil conditioner and soil...

    Magnesium and Potassium Lockout due to too much Calcium?

    That depends a lot on an individual's interpretation of what the chart displays. To myself the chart is a clear example of why Calcium is such a fantastic soil conditioner and soil pH buffer. Soils you want those elements to bind because It helps form aggregates. Making those elements more slow...

    Why is this plant looking like this?

    Using nutrients I'd be running more waste than that. Roughly 10% pot volume. It will build up over time otherwise. I fathom to wonder you're getting any runnoff at all? You've noticed it early. Plants are still in good shape. I wouldn't change anything besides watering to 10% waste using...

    Slowed flowering could use some advice please

    They look about on track. Just smoke one and chill. Look at the same pics in a couple weeks and you'll be surprised. If there's any real light leaks, you'll see revegging. I can't see any.

    Slowed flowering could use some advice please

    Lmfao. Yes that debate. You mean the one where people claim spontaneous hermaphroditism isn't the result of monoecious phenotypes? That's an exhausting debate.

    Slowed flowering could use some advice please

    Well for the sake of healthy debate, you're assuming the plants can "see" the same light source your human eyes do. But who says they can? At least 10 grows with the same setup. Never once a hermie from it. Or delayed flowering. Just saying I'd sooner blame genetics than I would a tiny light on...

    Slowed flowering could use some advice please

    I've had the same thing every single indoor grow. Never had any hermie from it. Have a dehumidifier that's even brighter, same thing. In my own experience, hermie plants are genetic and fairly uncommon with good seed. One every now and then, but it's no big deal. Biggest concern about light...

    Same problem in all my grows

    Hello, I'm used to running a very similar setup. Canna Terra Pro + 50% perlite, 1.8 EC, pH 6.0, DTW to10% pot volume, feeding once a day, up to a maximum of twice per day. Using 18L pots. In my own opinion this is where you're going wrong. I personally run to 10% pot volume in waste, and never...

    Trouble calibrating my ph meter

    Maybe it's the meter? I had to replace a HM-200 out the packet recently, for the same reasons. Device was faulty. Happens.

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    Really can't emphasize how important it is either. Maybe if the roots are totally rotten. But otherwise not really, I don't think. Suffocating plants you can mostly tell visually by how the plant looks. They'll droop or slump if it's bad. Otherwise it's poor stunted growth and random plant...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    I can relate to your own experiences trying to find information on Cannabis forums. I've come to find forums are great for keeping up with what's new in the hobby. And can be good for specifics, like equipment etc. But I've always found the general advice given, to not be very generalized at...

    how to "re- aerate" soil

    If I may interject, it's important to consider scale regarding fungi and no-till soil. What you say is mostly true for very large areas land. Like Redwood Forest big. It's all relative. Container gardening, those same networks are established faster than you can blink.

    Feed strength through flower

    100% imoe too. I'm soiless when indoors and have always followed manufacturer's recommendations for EC. When I've burnt plants in the past, it's been my own doing, not the manufacturer's. Aeration and drainage is a big, big deal. So easy to underdo. I've used Advanced, Canna, Professor's...

    How often do you use silica personality

    I haven't needed to. No.

    New to indoor growing looking for help

    Unless space is an issue, I'd get a 4x4 instead of a 3x3. It's just a better, more realistic space to work with. 4x4 never feels large enough either, but it's what I use. Outdoor organic is my jam too. I wouldn't fuss too much about indoor environment. Indoor is a breeze like that and more...

    How often do you use silica personality

    Thanks a lot for the pdf. Yes, I agree with you. That's been mostly my own stance on it too.

    droopy leaves/nute issue? after compost tea feeding

    That is quite a coincidence it happened straight after compost tea. And probably shouldn't be ignored. Wouldn't worry too much about the tea itself. Unless there's something funky going on. Which judging by your own watering habits, there probably isn't. And I wouldn't be too concerned about...

    How often do you use silica personality

    Thanks I'll check the stuff out. Bought 25L of Potassium Silicate a few years ago. Still trying to get through it! :-P
