Little help with PPM question please

Thanks for your research and time these nutrients was EXPENSIVE I think I spent 180 bucks on their cal mag and 3 part blend!!!!!

I just added 3 more tbs cal mag and ph upd my res 6.1 I've really kept it roughly 5.8 and researching I see mag is locked out anything under 6 itself sigh

Ugg....they put urea in their Calmag and use CaSO4(gypsum) both of which are not a highly available nutrient in a hydro setup.

This company is jank These people are the ghetto dealers of the cannabiz, cutting product with all the cheapest shit...urea

I would take the whole lineup into the backyard and unload a tube of shotshells into it and switch to a proven three part nutrient.

You can spend about another $50 and get going again.

Get a couple pounds of epsom.

Amazon.com : ENVY Hydro Special Professional Grade (5-12-26) Part I - Water Soluble Plant Food (3 lb) Use with Envy Calcium Nitrate : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Southern Ag Calcium Nitrate - 5 Pound Bag (amazon.com)

This will run just like Jack's, which tons of people use in coco. 3.6g Fert, 2.4g Calnit, 1g epsom per gallon.

I bought the 1-1/2 pound Envy combo. Very affordable. I paid $29 delivered. Multiple crops.

Thank you everyone who has commented I am very appreciative and I will be buying them next time I have to get nutes, the autos are in Gia greens was excited to get away from sythentics.

I'm very very well educated in the soil wide web and spent xountkess hours listening to Dr Elaine Ingram I just felt I was forced as tbh I was watering once a day only by hand and I couldn't take it anymore let alone 3 4x a day, guess I need to research more if there's liquid versions of organics unlike the tea's iv grown to love to brew that can be used longer than 24 hrs b4 needing to discard.

I just received ph drops and I feel I trust these far better than those pens I had to add 2 droppers of ph up to hit what I feel is 6 ph

Head on the nail and now i know what this looks like I've wondered why 2 of my plants are YELLOW bright yellow without it being N def it had me stumped my rook ass almost thought iron because so bright..... before I'm dumb whats my best counter measure I added 3 tblspoon 2 the already 3 tblspoon cal mag I had in the res already, should I call that good for a week or can I make a mag foliar spray with Epsom salt and dim / raise lights

Check out Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice nutes. 1 bottle for grow. 1 bottle for bloom. Easy to use and it’s organic. I’ve used it and like it but it’s expensive. At least here in Alaska where shipping drives up costs on everything.

I have a shit ton of Dowm to earth organics literally probably 7 different big boxes that should get me through soil and I will look into bloom and iguana right now thank you.

Question I cannot find ANY info on someone claimed I couldn't use silica starting at week say 5 veg that in order for it to be any benifit whatsoever it had to be used from seedling at first I believed him however more I thought about it that doesn't seem true at all I've started using it again am I wasting money using a third of a cup a week and last thing how often can I foliar feed 1 tbs per 250 ml RO water since they was so devastatingly def

I run Si through my whole grow. I start at .1EC and then in flower, bump to .15EC since the trichomes need addition Si and the extra K works in flower.
The only decent brands are Agsil powder, Armour Si and Pro-TeKt, the rest are watered down crap.


@hotrodharley

How do those "organic" nutes made for continuous feed work? Don't you need a good beni population to break them down?
I could see them working in a Promix drain to waste setup. You inoculate the mix as needed and the crud drains away.
Would a recirc system wind up being like a slimy old bucket filled with beer and molasses?

That I don’t know. I suspect you’re right as far as slime.

I would highly suspect slimy, I did some more research into organics and hydroponics last night there's no such thing currently as hydroponics and organics but there is a company about to release something supposedly

As I figured the good bacteria are not comfortable submerged and the bad bacteria will quickly over populate the system.

Again I truly want to give a huge shout out to the ones who educated me in my easy to see right in front if my damn eyes deficiency I feel dumb with the zebra chlorosis on every leaf, tonight 24 hours after first one I'll foliar feed one last time then see if the added cal mag in res will help pull me out of Def, I'm reading the red stems on fan leaves is a Mag / P def combo ? Guess I'm glad I threw a tbs of boost into the res on my change out few days ago but over night I already see a darker tint to the esp bright as the sun yellow 2 ty ty !!!


I take it my botnicare Silica blast doesn't make the cut of goods ?

Nothing wrong with Silica Blast, it's just very watered down.
Most Si products are around the same price. Armour Si is 0-0-4, Silica Blast is 0-0-0.5

That means it's 8 times more watered down....and no surprise AN Rhino Skin is king of watered down shit. Being 10 times more watered down.

Turning this bus around thanks to everyone suggestions.

How's it growing everyone, hope all is well with all you guys because your my heros

that one in the back left looks really rough. what does the new growth look like?
