Upped it with nutes, however still within the recommended dose specified by Nutriplex.

Think I've figured out the discrepancy between recommended dosage and suggested EC. Recommended dosage in veg is 8ml per 10l of each formula. The EC you get with the nutes alone then is 0.8EC. However the suggested EC is 1.5-2.2. That should probably be upped using additives and not with more nutes. I'll apply this on the next res change in a week when I flip to flower. 

The EC range they give has nothing to do with them assuming you will use additives to get it in that range, the ml per l, is their recommended dilution rate, however as said before you need to take into account solution temperature to get a more accurate ec, I am not sure what temp they recommend the solution to be. But you'll want to add nutrients till you hit that range, not add additives. I would slowly adjust upwards and not to 1.5 immediately.

We've got portable PPFD meters for R 5 000, available here

Thanks but I’ll stick to brands that are reputable like Apogee; and the MQ-500 is portable.

7k I can get you an MQ 500

You don’t get them locally; otherwise I would have stated it obviously.

Any idea where? I want to use sulphur on alternate runs before I get any resistances to what I'm using.

Import one.

The product I'm really interested in trying is called wetable sulphur. It's used a lot in the states. It's basically a pesticide that kills almost everything and is not systemic. But every time I go ask for it at a nursery I get told there's no such thing.

Just get sulphur vaporizer.

Do you use it in flower?

You can yes, but if you getting PM constantly something is off in your environment or you are tracking in spores.

Thank you. Great share. How effective is aqsv when you find pm in the garden.

Very effective, you will need to do multiple applications, AQ sf is a hyperparasite to PM.

What EC do you get with their recommendations at that particular phase of the cycle. i..e week 4 or whatever.

EC is purely based on the recommendation of the nutrient maker.

Haifa veg is 1.1, flower is 1.8

Green house ranges by week

Your mileage will vary.

@CreX rates even 350ppm is aight. Plus it's just short of the recommended dosage by Nutriplex. If not, I'll wait and let my plants tell me they need more nutes.

Ppm might be 1995, but quick maths is 2019. 400 ppm is 0.8 EC according to the manufacturer of my EC pen.

You know that the temperature of your solution changes your EC, did you factor that into you 2019 quick maths. 

Your plants are being starved 400ppm for that growth is nothing, also do yourself a favor and get an EC pen, PPM is so 1995.

I've now gone to pure coco and fertigation, zero issues at all.

@CleanGreen What % is the hydrogen peroxide?

Agree with @CreX its text book lock out and high pH.

@greenkush Great frosting man you grew that yourself? Did you get it from these guys? https://strains.cannamaps.com/slurricane/

No I did not grow it, its an example from the breeder. Correct its from In-House Genetics.

Am sorry I posted a "random" video that has nothing to do with cannabis my bad.

Hurdur... I assumed the video was to support your claim for genetic weakness.

I assume you have a point to just randomly posting some video? 

I agree I generally tend to steer clear of fems unless I have no choice.

Yes there are great strains out there and 20+% THC, but just like dog breeding when you over breed you get weaknesses in the genetic.... my opinion.

If the strain is bred properly and stabilized there is very little to no chance of genetic abnormalities or weaknesses.

I see grass, we need to put more plants there this is unacceptable.

Come tell this to my plants. I only have 2 commercial plants, and they were sent from Humboldt Seed Org free.

 

In all honesty. Wish I didn't buy anything for growing. The less I make do with, the better they do.

Yeah come talk when you’ve grown sluricane

 * Stop buying seeds, you'll never grow them all.
