BAck on track, I'm trying out veg + bloom on a set of plants for the first time...just did a Rez change yesterday actually, added 12 tsp to about 14 gallons of water, came to about 750 ppm...my tap comes out at like 200. Eager to see if this stuff works at all, cause I got like a pound for free.

Yeah it works bro...you in veg right now? I was doing 1.5 tsp per gallon which was pretty high on truncheon ppm and took it like a champ. Just be sure if you have hard water you watch for calcium build up ( Happened to me)...i think i was going close to 1.9 EC in soil...also used GH's florabloom. worked great but for flower i would recommend using with MOAB

Yeah, im hydro, just starting out slow, only trying one flood tray of 11 clones. I just finished a run with the Same genetics, and have another in early flower with my regular nutes, so it should be a decent comparison.

What do you mean? Like use another solvent to rewash it, and purge again? I purged for several hours, with several hot water baths in between vacuum sessions.

No, what i mean is you take your glass put it in a small glass saucer. Get a small but sturdy pointy and preferably hooked object made from metal or glass. Heat some water in a skillet, not too hot just slightly simmering, put the saucer on top and whip the wax constantly as it slowly melts. It should change color and become lighter as you whip. It eventually ends up in a big ball of wax on your whipping hook.

I meant put the saucer on the lid of the skillet where the steam escapes

No, I don't generally whip air into my oil, I prefer a glassy texture that shatters like clear candy. I think whipping air into it to make it in to budder is just not for me. Not to say I've never done it, but I prefer some clear amber glass.

Un necessary heating and whipping can lead to the psychoactive contents prematurely degrading, I believe.
