Elemental Blend

you might as well accept that the girl is into schwazzing 

it is my personal recommendation that you go the diy supersoil route, as this simplifies growing to the extent where you can grow trees on only water for months on end

jamie that makes orgasoil has another product elemental blend which you can toss into your soil at the end of every grow 

if you do start with premix bags, orga has been the mostly recommended to me but i have no experience using it as a standalone product

those are a good start shini but antigfragile and orga have different specs that you can view here:

im seeing spots as well , it might be due to the camera or hey maybe it looks like that up close i never bother checking (pic 1)

pic 3 im seeing white spots more concerning no

Lol you didn't discourage me just the thought of mould due to no air circulation is a big no for me. All that effort just to throw it all away due to Eskom big nope. I'll definitely do a grow thread here to follow on my next grow coz I will need help with nutes (organic guy here)

also a little 12l dehu to run isnt gonna take too much in the way of battery backup. im personally in planning stage of providing energy to my grow for the 2 40w fans and 200w dehu to run for atleast the 2 or 4 hours with enough capacity to recovery to full at slow charge

dont let them win work around it, outdoor is also with its issues, thinking this heat wave weve been having, pests, wind stormrain lots can go wrong

you will find good info on nutes on my thread regarding it currently being discussed im using it as a platform to learn and share as well a organic guy

So there is https://umya-nutrients.co.za/product/multi-amino/

great they state it contains these 20 aminos thanks!

not in the budget im a local supply supporter at heart

The molasses is not for the plant per-say, it's for the microbes in the soil to use as a food source, causing them feeding frenzy and reproduce rapidly.

https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/black-strap-molasses/ they also have this. blackstrap is the good one or go with lighter blends?

The big different between Seagrow and Fish-mix is that fish-mix is also mixed together with extracts of sugar beet, which accelerates the growth of microbes in the soil.

yeah again sticking with the local guy

Then you also have your humic and fulvic acids which condition the soil and fulvic acid increases nutrient uptake in the plant and helps prevent nutrient burn pretty well (unless you really going excessive).

is 100 rand an bottle the way to go or is price not reliable measurement on its efficacy  this is local to me do I go for it

no products listing those aminos at my local hydro shop, takealot has kushyamino boost explains that there are 20 aminos that the plant takes up but doesnt mention having added any and which or are what ratio this doesnt seem legit right? what have you found contains them all

they also mention auxins which im getting from liquid kelp

molasses, Amino Acids

this molasses is boosting your brix reading i was under impression you gooi some molasses on the plant after it has established some roots like flowering stage what benefits do amino acids play in plants i dont know i google it tho thanks.

fish mix and seagro is probably the same thing bro whats the gram on the kilogram on that npk for biobizz

seagro is providing 53g/kg N. 7g/kg P. 17g/kg K and all the micronutrients the plant needs in good ratio

I don't make any adjustments and I never go over the max dosage. So far it's always given me consistent results. 

by following that chart exactly could you tell me if i can successfully grow a 2.5meter tree with 2 more months of veg left on a set of 500ml bottles or do i need 1l. it is estimated to again grow to 3.5 or 4 m at flower. these products specifically became available literally next door to me https://greenmammoth.co.za/product/ehg-grow-coco-micro-bloom/ have you seen or tried before, they offer it in both sizes. this specific tree doesnt have anything much in the form of microlife in the soil as well so hydronutes arnt minded for 1 plant that grew in the wrong spot to experiment with

Seagro is a bit like taking a air rifle to war ^^ the stuff is rather weak

im keen on reading what you use during veg preflower flower lateflower finisher

i have been using seagro kelp combo since the beginning years

during flower is when i experiment with the expenses 

8 minutes ago, Prom said:

and why not use the guano during veg too

are you thinking to add for to promote root development? form the P

current grow, substrate is a mix of coco atami coir/peat, atami hydroroks, castings, biochar, frass and sand. 

feeding seagro and kelp for veg and flower at 1/4 the recommended dose. 

adding bat guano, liquid pk and molasses for flower only

may very well add atami bloombastic this next flowering round and remove the umya pk, havnt used it before tho

consistent inputs tend to do that, i have never tried my hand at hydro nutrients as i like the microbes to be the ones breaking down the bonds.

but they do seem very simple to use. and handy in cases where you cannot amend to topsoil would imagine.

I follow the ratios on the bottle and max at 3/4 of the recommended dosage because with my automatic feeding system I don't feel I need to max the dosage because there is always feed available exactly when each plant needs it.

excellent point evan i believe that all your other parameters need to be met at optimal to feed at full label dosage(or slightly over as in flower strian dependant) simply put no use running light at 50percent and feeding full strength nutrients you are wasting your money?

how are you finding the tripart to work for you, i would have thought that you would continue tripart grow around 1.5ml to a liter till the last two weeks of flower or is that just me (i dont run tripart however)

would love to discover what feeding programs, be it following recipe or of your own preference, you guys are currently following for seedling through to harvest

26-33% THC claim on blackberry moonrocks at 70 bucks a pop

my situation currently is as follow both traiwreck and durban poison where duds, this is clear to me but would it make any difference to paul? im assuming you have dealt with him.

im mean honestly now, maybe another strain could confuse a company but how do you mix this up it og kush!

does this seem legit, some legit crosses

this cross looks legit and humboldt has a good reputation as per my observation. the cost is also not bad but this isnt exactly the local cross im looking for. or maybe potentially another landrace

super funny bro thanks, mine was intended as a joke as well but im didnt succeed this time, no worried il lget you laughing sometime maybe at my yield come harvest, weather soil animals/pests watering issues have fckd me this year 

seal the room, blast it with 10000 co2 kills everything, including you if you stay inside

quick update on the bnb seeds.

everything popped! 

jk, none of the trainwreck or durban poison popped

all of the others popped. if it wasnt for the freebie amnesium haze...would be very unhappy with these results.

put the order through mainly for durban poison and blackberry moonrocks. the snow white and c99 are to be crossed.

not sure why went with trainwreck probably the name.

i need to order something leaning heavy on the sativa side, maybe by someone local? any sugg?

its a natural response to heat, to decrease leaf surface area. perfectly normal
