i wouldnt say that. i ran a 5 ft tall jack herer in a 5 gallon bucket only adding compost once at the end of flower. it has plenty of nutes and may add she yeilded almost half pound inside a closet under a 450w viparspectra led and a root farm 45w led.Got about 3 wks worth of nutes in it. Maybe a bit more with a small plant in a big container.
That has not been my experience. Been using it for 12 yrs. I have proper size plants in proper containers. After 3 or 4 wks I'll start with deficiencies.i wouldnt say that. i ran a 5 ft tall jack herer in a 5 gallon bucket only adding compost once at the end of flower. it has plenty of nutes
buy a coconut at the grocery store get the water out mix about 1 tbsp with about 2l of water. theres your cal mag and potassium +growth enzymes etc.Where to get cheap calmag ?
Should i worry about the Ph of the coconut water?buy a coconut at the grocery store get the water out mix about 1 tbsp with about 2l of water. theres your cal mag and potassium +growth enzymes etc.
if you dont care about ypur soil beneficial microbes u could add epsom salt tp your water. but it kills microbes
yes thats why you only use tbsp per 2l or so. check your ph before watering. coconut water on its own is anywhere from 3.8 to 5.0 ish usually 4.8 though. mixed with your tap which is usually slightly alkaline will balance the mixture close to the 6.5 range.Should i worry about the Ph of the coconut water?
that seems odd i do see alot of people say its too hot for seedlings showing alotnof wuick release nitrogen that run out but never experienced it myself. though i havent used this stuff 12 years long lol. now i mix it with a bunch of other soils/ amendments like happy frog sohum and a list of 400 organic amendments.That has not been my experience. Been using it for 12 yrs. I have proper size plants in proper containers. After 3 or 4 wks I'll start with deficiencies.
Idk. I do cut it with 25% perlite, so not full strength. But still. Def the nitrogen, phosphorus too. I tranplant to final pot right after flip. They're always wanting N at some point, even with bloom nutes.that seems odd i do see alot of people say its too hot for seedlings showing alotnof wuick release nitrogen that run out but never experienced it myself. though i havent used this stuff 12 years long lol. now i mix it with a bunch of other soils/ amendments like happy frog sohum and a list of 400 organic amendments.
400? Woah, thats alot. What are some of your best/favorite ones?that seems odd i do see alot of people say its too hot for seedlings showing alotnof wuick release nitrogen that run out but never experienced it myself. though i havent used this stuff 12 years long lol. now i mix it with a bunch of other soils/ amendments like happy frog sohum and a list of 400 organic amendments.
yeah i go a bit crazy on soil mixes and i couldnt tell ya theres too many things in there lol400? Woah, thats alot. What are some of your best/favorite ones?
Hopefully not necro'ing this thread too hard. I wanted to ask if anyone tried the above method with FFOF. When/how often you added the tea & coconut water solution? I am running a clone in straight FFOF as a test run in preparation to start running autos in a few months. I am trying to keep it simple as possible, Thanks in advance.when i used to grow in ffof only id just add more soil with a compost mix. grew nice fat buds. i would add an extra calmag source though. (coconut water) straight from a coconut diluted with your water and a proper ph. epsom salts will kill benea in your soil if you go that method
I mean 400 did sound like quite a bit, but I believe he said he topdressed with more soil, mixed in with some compost, which sounds feasible. The part I don't agree with, is epsom killing soil microbes. If it does, it isn't much.The 400 amendments and him not top dressing at all for the whole grow in 1 5 gal pot
If you're growing in no till living soil, you need to add amendments throughout the cycles, so your soil has nutrition for the next run.Oh I though he meant he didn't top dress at all only until the end of flower with compost, cause every noob knows to not add any nuts after the last 4 to 3 weeks to get a natural flush
Ok do you think I can mix foxfarm ocean forest and bushdoctor coco Loco and if so what about 5050when i used to grow in ffof only id just add more soil with a compost mix. grew nice fat buds. i would add an extra calmag source though.
