Hell yeah that is a deal for sure. I really like the idea of feeding organically the last couple weeks, I will have to give that a try... So you say you use bottled organic nutes the last couple weeks? What brand if you don't mind me asking?Nice post, no i dont mix the organic teas that i brew with synthetic at the same time. I just switch them close to the end so that i can feed longer. Damn teas take forever how have to do it and i think most of how i feed is probably just the easiest way possible. I just buy everything that works on auto pilot.
Your quote on your grampa and his corn, your right, he doesnt ph his water for the corn right? He amends the soil and the plants then just bear with the soil for the rest of the grow. And they live, without deficiencies. Which reminds me, i have about 400 ears of corn to pick before it rains in the next couple days.
As for your your 15 yr grower, thats what some people do. They ph balance the crap outta the water and food. I dont and i still pull his numbers, so ya, to each their own. I mean i may get a couple more grams per run but then i have to mess with phing all that stuff for a couple more buds and with how much water i need i probably would pay more for the constant supply of ph down id need, the rez installation, and the monitoring system. Fuck ill just do it the old fashioned way where i just try to listen to the plant and hope for the best.
Holy smokes i feel so lazy right now, i just had a meddi cookie a while ago and its hitting me real fast so i feel soooo lazy.
And who the fucks this guy comes on here saying hes on his first grow and pitchin a fit lmao. Sounds like a future angry grower heheheeee
Oh and dude one other quick question, do you know if it is nessecary to sterilize airstones/buckets between each tea? I read yes, but would be nice to go 2-3 teas before having to sterilize/clean everything, it's such a PITA lol. I just go the lazy route with teas (Pre-made bottled shit like FF big bloom and botannicare pure blend tea then great white shark and some molasses to boot)
Yes, you are correct as far as my gpa and corn, amends the soil then lets the soil do all the work. He also grows some crop in the winter (I can't remember the name) that stores tons of N in its roots, so then come time of growing corn, they have a ton of N to live off of. That is a deal, enjoy that corn! lol I had a couple corn plants, but threw them out due to aphids.. Didn't want them spreading to my mmj plants, the medicine is more important
I love it though man, I will start trying that out for sure. Would be nice to just water from the hose with a carbon filter attached rather than letting it sit and Ph'ing it. That is what I did for my outdoor plants this summer and DAMN it cost a lot to buy all the PH up/down when you have multiple 100-150 gallon plants lol. I appreciate you sharing your insight/experience.
Hope I didn't come off as a dick in my first post lol I was just posting what I have heard and read. Hoping to get other opinions.
Haha hell ya dude, enjoy it
I'm gonna have to go get some med cookies or brownies or something once I finish harvesting all outdoor to celebrate! Although my tolerance is hella low soooo gotta take it slow lol.Hahah for sure, I didn't wanna get involved, but he shouldn't or responded like that anyways, even if he does disagree.
Hey one last thing. I noticed you said your rez changed ph.. Do you use a flood/drain system?
