So honestly she’s been so much better overall ! Like a whole 12 hour difference less yellow at the tips much more green. I had a bottle of this life water & have been watering with that & I think it loves it !I've been using about half a gram once a week, but if you're seeing deficiency, I'd do a gram per week or so. Of course your water and your feed may suggest different.
May or may not be because of that specifically as much as just watering may be helping dilute or remove any over-feed from your medium. They state that it's 'pH balanced' but give a range of 6.4-7.4, which is more of a range than I'd like...not to mention that it's expensive to be watering that way.
That also, I think it’s more of the food diluting out ! I only had one bottle I’m not buying more .. no way ! Lol too expensive I’ll stick with my Brita filter water.
I have this meter but I think I need a new one it started to act a little funny with my house plants.
Diatoms are as small as 20 microns, not much larger than dust particles. It's quite easy for them to be gently blown about when you have a one-inch pile on the surface of your soil, assuming that you have good air circulation below the canopy that is.
Absolutely not. Don't buy that. It's entirely not up to the job. And really for the most part junk.
Okay sounds good I’ll buy the pen style.
That will work. I like Epsoma amendments and tone fertilizers, and I use it alot outdoors.
Not one I'm aware of, so I guess as good as some of the others?
So because it’s an organic soil I have to use organic fertilizer?Not one I'm aware of, so I guess as good as some of the others?
Again, I'm not an all organic grower. I'm more of a 'use a medium that's fairly inert' so I can have control over things. Lots of guys here can fill you in on organics with way more knowledge.
Dolomite lime ? What does that do ?
No you don't have to, you can use synthetic fertilizer in organic soil not problem.
It acts as a ph buffer for your soil, keeping it from dropping too low. That Whitney Farms soil isn't bad, but it's surprising that it doesn't seem to have any sort of ph buffer added.
No you don't have to stay organic. You can feed liquid nutrient salts to your plants, you just won't get the benefit of the microbes because your not giving them anything to breakdown and feed to the plant. You can still go quality bud without organic methods.
Dolomite lime is a horticultural liming product use to adjust the soil pH. Lime is what raises the pH and sulfur is what lowers it. These are the two products you'll commonly find in stores or on line to adjust pH. Don't worry about pH right now.
Lol beat me by 60 sec
Your answer was more complete though.
So should I just go to regular soil?
So I’ve been using my Brita filter & it’s been working & growing sooooo fast !
