All right so I'm only going to ask this question once because it's an irritating question. It's been irritating me since I started because I get conflicting information from the ocgfam show, the Bible, from the blogs, so I'm going to ask you because I'll get the answer I'm looking for. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY FOR ME TO DO A SLURRY TEST???
I have to make sure I'm doing them right. I've been following you for a while now and I know you're on it with your slurries, that extra work is probably why your plants look flawless. Anyways. I use my tap water, I aerate over night to get rid of chlorine. The ppms come out a little high so I add a small amount of distilled until my waters ppms are in range then I add nutrients then I ph up or down. Tea day I ph before adding microbes. So when I do a slurry test what's the process. I've heard some say they use distilled. I thought I'm supposed to use the same water I water with so it would be my tap water. So If I was doing a slurry I would use the same water, aerated tap water with a little distilled at 140 ppms right? Now do I ph the water and if so what ph? Would I ph it to around what my feeds are? Next do I subtract the ppms of the tap water from my slurry results or no? Last thing, when you add the one part water 1 part soil how long do you let it sit before you put your pH and TDS meters in and do you stir? Thanks a lot and sorry for all the questions that I'm sure you've answered a million times, this is a constantly asked question but I'm asking you because I want to get a good answer that's current information so I know that my slurry test are correct. I'm pretty sure the keys this line is slurry tests, thanks again I appreciate it!!!
Ok . What ever you use for your feed is what you use for slurries … if your ppm is 140 then you subtract from your slurry # , ph is ph don’t need to add anything … slurry you want true reading from soil … when you do a slurry you want to do it close to the roots not where there at , don’t want to rip roots up….. and yes you do a lite stir not shaken …lolAll right so I'm only going to ask this question once because it's an irritating question.

no need to be sorry , that’s why we are here !!!! … I don’t do slurries anymore ..lol..

Thanks a lot I appreciate it you know the info on this s*** changes a lot. So that's the process I'm going to roll with. Also it must have been someone else that was saying they do everything based off their slurries and slurry before they feed. My bad about that one

When I foliar feed with BK all I do is mix it with distilled and I don't pH it. Is this okay? I figure it's best to use distilled with Bk so there's nothing for it to react with. Also I can't really pug mh blue lab pen in distilled. Would it be better just to use my tap water and pH my foliar feeds. All I foliar feed is Bk every morning.

NTFG Dedicated Hydroponic Thread
So of course, NTFG is and will always be my favorite line. I have been growing hydroponics for the last couple years and miss the Nectar. Lots of the product line is very dense and not hydro friendly, so I switched up my regiment. I wanted to start a thread and share info on what your doing...

I stopped with nectar when I started hydro. Had a serious issue with stuff settling in the bottom of res. Only thing I still use on the regular from nftg is up and down lol . I can honestly say learning to grow in soil (dealing with all the different soil problems) taught me lots, the knowledge made switching to hydro easy, and now I prefer hydro for so many reasons. Clean up is a breeze with no dirt, plants get a fresh environment every week, anything I wanna change is instant, no hydro to dirt stress for clones, ph of medium is much easier to read, ect. But I'm back and gonna make this hydro nftg stuff work and share how!

Eventually Hydro is where I wanted to get to. That's my goal eventually to have a professional hydro grow room everything on controllers CO2 and everything but I have a long way to go on a lot of learning to do I'm still trying to master soil LOL. Good luck I'm sure you'll make it work I'll be following along
When I used nectar I use to slurry every feed … not with cultured , with cultured I only ph feed …
Bk u want to ph it …

Glad you said that. Been going back and forth with it. I've heard to ph and to not to. What type of water do u use? How do you mix BK? Last run I used distilled and had a couple cheap ph pens i would use well when I moved i lost them and have been reluctant to stick my blue lab pen in distilled that barely has anything in it. Starts acting funny

Over the weekend I split my grow room in half. Not only to box in the the plants and lights with reflective material but now I have my grow tent on the other side where I can do something with it perpetually. Probably going to start with putting the big plant in there at night for 12 hours while my other plants are still vegging under light for 6 more hours So I'm just going to use it for a little dark tent for my 1 plant. Then when my other plants go into flowering I'm gonna put the small LED in the middle in the tent for seedlings and veg and drop my 400 watt HID in the middle of the 2 bigger LEDs. That's my plan hopefully I can keep it dark enough in the tent. 
I use RO …. If there is no connectivity in the water , it’s normal for it to act weird ..a true reading would be have it all mixed or add some thing to it and take a reading , fullon , or Medusa ..I don’t check ph until I have it all mixed up and adjust from there .
BK , add it 1st then ph it … I’m not a fan of foliar of BK or really any other unless there are issues or if I let the plant get to big that I use to foliar the 1st , 2weeks of flower to keep the stretch down .

So I want to flip the Green Crack plant into flower. My last feed was a Herc flush. I wanted to start an early flowering feed and flip it. Wondering if I need to defoliate at all or take some of the suckers off? The canopy is really dense and has tons of tops but it's not thick depthvwise, it's only about a foot thick so I'm pretty sure my LEDs can penetrate into the canopy so maybe I should just leave it alone. I also just transplanted it into a 5 gallon. I feel like if I thin the canopy out I'll have to wait a few days for it to recover also. Any tips on anything I should do before flipping her?

It was too crowded so I took a few handfuls of leaves. I usually have pretty good success with Heavy defoliation right before flower even though I hate plucking leaves off. Probably have to do it again week 3 of flower. So now I'm wondering if I should give it a few days to bounce back after defoliation or flip it into flower and start early flowering feed tonight???

I really wanna push Bloom Khaos. Last grow i think i went up to 25ml. I wanna get as high as I can. How high have you gotten on your Bk feeds? Just wondering how high people go and get big yields? I'm thinking about right now in veg feeding the plants Bloom khaos foliar and in my feedings at the same time and strength ramping it up slowly and then early flower stop foliar feeding and add it to the feedings and water it all in. Also going to use cersei's and tritons along with herc. Have you tried this?
The most BK I ever used maybe 10 ml….lol… I seen people push and have total killed the plant….. not a fan of big yields as I’m more for the qualiTy …. With nutrients and when to use it , and of course lighting and environment and genetics plays a part…
but yeah ramp it up slowly and see what happens , worst you mite have to do is back off BK .,,

Ya I'm definitely most concerned about quality, but it's nice to get more of that quality Lol.
