I find myself wondering if we are going to ad.nutes to the res and pour.teas over the top ect ect , why not.just grow in coco and get the full bore benefits of hydro without the work of a DWC , or go hempy bucks which is a sip with a res with nutes and get full blown hydro results , not knocking anyone I would never do that, but I gravitate towards easy inam lazy beyond measure and sips take all the work out , ,

My buds were bigger in hydro than sips Everytime, but the size of the buds were not the question, honestly the smaller buds in my organic soil grow have exceeded my expectations

I do dwc too, but I wanted organic quality. I feel the sips are a good compromise between both.

I'm thinking about adding water soluble humics to the res also. I'm thinking it might help with N uptake. At least I'm hoping so. Lol

I went with bigger containers hoping that way I don't need to feed through the res. 2 plants per earthbox Jr is only 5 gal of soil so 2.5. gal per plant. Hoping that 4 gal per plant is enough nutes this time I can get away water only til the end. We will see.

Flipped the Goji's a few days ago. Did some defoliation and training. Added my dry ammendments, and topped that with a layer of compost.
Really excited about these girls, grew a couple last year and they were incredible :blsmoke:

It wasn't for me, but I'm using bas 3.0. I'm getting some yellowing in week 5. I'm trying to keep the N up a bit longer but she's eating a lot of it. Hopefully the lil N in the build a bloom, thru the res will help.

Yea I've realized that now. My problem is keeping up with it. I've been giving her a weak watering of soybean aminos. It has a npk of 15-0-0. I cut the ratio down to 3.5-0-0. Think I might raise it to 7-0-0. I just wanted to see if the weaker dose would work.

I've also been top dressing with 1/4 cup craft blend and 3 cups ewc. I just raised the craft blend to a 1/2 cup last night.
