Quick update, all is going well with the transition, into week 6 now. One of my girls though is just starting to get what looks like a slight cal or mag def maybe. Just a very little light brown only on the lower mid leaves. I did a slurry and ph was 6.5, but PPMs are only 250. So should I do a drenching with Herc at 2tbs maybe? I've been following the simple schedule, roughly 2,1,2,2 (Medsu, Gaia, Zeus, Herc) with every watering just about the past two weeks... Or would a bloom tea work better? Maybe there's nothing much wrong to be honest, just noticed the off leaves down below a bit... It looks like what this strain used to do if it was starting to get nute lockout... Also, should I increase the Herc to 3 or 4? And is watering with these four every time ok? Oh also, I'm still waiting on my Photo+ to come tomorrow... Overall it's looking to be my best haul yet though...
Im going to bet your good bro, the good thing about how we do what we do is that we can re-set or medium whenever we don't like the way the slurry test looks, For me if those where my numbers in week 6 I would feed a lil more to run off, up your Gaia 5mil a gal and the herc

AND..... I figured out my problem - I'm an idiot... That's supposed to be tablespoons of Gaia and Herc, oops! I was doing teaspoons. So I suppose what I'll actually do is just start ramping up the Herc, and quickly...
i agree

your slurry is money....keep feeding but bump it up to Tbs over a few feeds...don't just go straight to 4 Tbs. if you know what I mean....

Hey guys, just wondering how you store your bottles of Nectar after you've opened them?

I have heard others talking about a short shelf life and the nutrients spoiling after only a couple months. They said demeters and gaia spoil the fastest. The same person says to refrigerate demeters destiny because it preserves it longer. I've always left the bottles out at room temperature which is about 65-75 degrees depending on the time of day. I have noticed that the pleasant minty smell of a freshly opened bottle dissipates into a much stinkier smell after time passes. Does Nectar For The Gods become less effective the longer the bottle has been opened due to the nutrients "spoiling"?

I have never had that experience my temp are about the same maybe e a little lower but no I have been using this product for a long time and have always been good with it, but like food I never buy more then I could use in a giving run with the exception HH and yes that minty smell does go away a little on some and a lot on other nectars products, as long as your bottle isn't swelling up your good and to be honest i don't want a product with a year or two shelf life I'm weird like that .

They prolly think once mint smell goes and you start to smell all the organic funk that its spoiled!! I don't know the exact estimates exactly but this question is answered in one of Scotts videos.

I can no longer justify the use of Mammoth p, I'm dropping it.
never used it .. couldn't justify the $$$ ... update ! just ordered 630w. cmh to replace the 315w.. but here a pic of what the 315w cmh can do ... here another thing I found out when I did a tea brew , I was adding 2 cup of ECW and 1 cup of oly mountain compost to per gallon of water !!! that was an Napalm to the soil of overload of microbes ...lol... should of been 1/4-1/2 cup per 2 gallons of water or 1/4 cup per gallon ....

I’m currently using mammoth p for the first time and it seems to be taking a lil longer for the nugs to swell up. Maybe mammoth P doesn’t work well with nectar

Watched a side by side today with a grower that used Mammoth P and Nectar together. The side without mammoth p yielded more. Here’s the link... https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=CH815nwo3l4
yeah I saw that too

Napalm is a good word to describe it.
and congrats on the 630 you will be growing twice as many trichomes

I dropped mammoth too. $$$ is one thing mos definitely and once I figured out Bloom Khaos is when I realized mammoth is not needed. Plus keeping an active living rhizo full of diversity I found adding mammoth to be redundant. And fungi solubize phos, and calcium, way more than any bacteria can do. All the phosphorous in Nectar is available out of the bottle, whatever the plant doesn't take up becomes food for microbes, and with good slurry #s, BK does the rest!! Mammoth P still plays well with Nectar and still can boost yields for some growers but I found its really not needed.

Haha.....I used to put way too much compost in my brews too!! Now I keep it to a 1/4 C per gallon. Especially when brewing a simple tea with 2 oz. fish aminos or 20 ml Of molasses as the feedstock. As I add more food stock, I up the compost amount I use. Its all a balance to achieve optimum brews. "The Microbe Man" website breaks down the very best ratios of TEA inputs to reach best results. Adding too much compost can be detrimental if there isn't enough food to feed them, and at the same time you can't just add more food to correct the off balance as it begins to effect the dissolved oxygen levels!!I Keep it simple!!

I won't say it doesn't work but if your wanting bigger yields then nailing down the Calcium & Khaos magic is how your going to get those results!!
