Yeah, it's been pretty mild around here lately, but a few years back it hit something like -45 and you could literally throw water in the air and it would freeze before it hit the ground. Don't even want to think what would happen if the power went out...It sucks dude! -25 aint nothing to mess with! Im looking into back up gennys to provent this from ever taking place
Again.
ok. before this res change, i was using the xnutrients at the rec levels, my final PPM's were up around 1500. I expected the overall PPM to be lower with DG.
there is no signs of nute burn. I added the gallon of water, it dropped the PPM to like 776. ph is still a little high at 6.4
so your saying i should drop the PPM? After I added it in, i did think maybe that was to much BudCandy, but once in its in.. and 2ml per liter, is wut it is.
I have one strain that tries to stroke out at 200 ppm...lol. I just sorta rub the bottle and then touch the plant...seems to take care of all nutritional needs....actually they do the best if I feed them plain water throughout...less yellowing if I give them my tap water at the right pH...it's so hard when all the plants around them get nutes....to not nute those ones...I they are easily recognizable, but still every once in awhile I am like well just a little nutes for this one...but no! None!...lol. I'll throw in between 3-4 individual pellets of peruvian seabird guano...through it's whole life without bad effects...but anything more and it goes downhill...I dropped my EC down a little more on my last res change. I'm at .8 EC, using RO water and per gallon: 5ml protek, 6ml bloom, 2ml magpro. My ppm went from 388 to 400 in 24 hours, but my girls drank huge amounts of water. 50% more water usage than most days. I believe my girls like a light diet of nutes. My fan leaves are showing no deficiencies, and the bud leaves still have a little curl on a few of them. I bet I could go through bloom at 420ppm, and grow happy girls.
With RO in promix, I feed less than 1/2 tsp/gallon of grow during veg. If I were using foliage pro, I'd feed the same I suppose. Calmag is not needed and I don't use magpro in the dirt.so in soiless mix sunshine #4 with gro is 1/2 tsp/gal enough for veg or should I up it? and what about foliage pro how would you feed with this? should I add calcium magnesium or is the mag pro all i need?
ok do you use mag pro with the soiless mix? crazy how lil nutes you use my plants are thriving with dyna gro thanks for saving my ass back when I almost bought AN!!With RO in promix, I feed less than 1/2 tsp/gallon of grow during veg.

If by soiless mix you mean dirt (promix/sunshine mix), the answer is no. I do use magpro in hydro as I found that the magnesium is kind of needed. My RO machine fell and broke not so long ago, went a few months just using my hard tap water which has only about 4ppm of magnesium. My tap water didn't leave a lot of room for magpro so when I wasn't using magpro in hydro, I would get a slight spotting after a few weeks.ok do you use mag pro with the soiless mix? crazy how lil nutes you use my plants are thriving with dyna gro thanks for saving my ass back when I almost bought AN!!
yea Im talking about straight sunshine mix in 5 gallon buckets is what im running. wasnt sure if mag pro in flower was necasarry! thanks HBIf by soiless mix you mean dirt (promix/sunshine mix), the answer is no.

I tried to PM you, but it's not wanting to work for me. Could I get your suggested feeding schedule for dirt...(I guess sunshine mix and pearlite) It's only for 2 plants and using tap water. (I've got all 4 nutrients from dyna-gro) I'm guessing from the post above that I won't be needing to use magpro since I'm using tap water?I’d highly recommend DynaGro for beginners. Just make sure you have a pH pen and a TDS meter then hit me up for a suggested feeding schedule for dirt or hydro. DG’s nutes will fry plants at ‘normal doses’ because their highly concentrated so that’s the only thing I’d tell growers to watch out for.

I'm not finding that I need magpro in the dirt. As far as feedings go, just do what works best for you. A couple mls per gallon of base in veg should be enough (add protekt first and use enough where the addition of your base brings your pH into the idea range). Maybe double those rates for flower? I'd love to just give you the numbers that work for me but one; that wont teach you anything and two; that may or may not work with your strains, plant size or your environment. Read the plant. If it's green top to bottom and healthy, think about feeding just tap water or a really light plant food mix. I think at a minimum, you should be feeding your plants once per week. See how that works, take notes, and don't be afraid to use grow in flower.I tried to PM you, but it's not wanting to work for me.

Really enjoying your posts and learning a lot from a veteran of 11 years. Thanks for your help.
Any additional "secret tips" would be very much appreciated.
