Im in soil, but I ran lots of ph'd water through em 4 days ago some light ferts 2 days ago and will flush again tomorrow..then get back to the flowering schedule, and my shipment on new shiz will be here to use by tomorrow.Flush............mine look alot better today than they did yesterday. No more silica for my plants, that's for sure.
I am having poor results in my opinion.I've seen a few others available too over the years. Really, the only other one I would consider is the "pH Perfect" stuff from AN.....seems like it would be easier not having to worry about the pH all the time. I just find Botanicare gives me consistent results every time, it's easy to acquire, reasonably priced (Pure Blend Pro), etc.........but you're a risk-taker always pushing the envelop further and further so good luck with it! LOL
Yeah I think you told me.I thought I mentioned this already but.......I only do GH for hydroponics. Don't like like it for soil. You need to flush a lot when using it because it builds up quickly. I think we are saying the same thing actually.
I Have never used all tat b4What was your total bill for what bought? Do you use enzymes i.e. Prozyme, Cannazyme, Sensizyme, etc?
The packs I have have several types of bacterias and all that is in there.Enzymes eat back dead and dying roots making the roots fresher and better able to absorb. They also help break down fertilizers (works better with organics but there is still some benefit with "chemical" ferts) to smaller and more easily absorbed elements. Use them, and flush less often. I never have to flush, except when I'm having a problem like we did with the silica. Worth spending the money, IMO. Kyle Kushman has written a lot about them and there benefits.......
I called and talked to them and he told me that 1 teaspoon is around 900 ppm.I went to their site and they do make recommendations as to how much....i.e. 1-2 tablespoons (or was it teaspoons?) per gallon. I'd start on the low end for now, watch the plants closely, and work your way up over time. A ppm meter is absolutely necessary....I use a dual pH/ppm meter, that is constantly on and just sits in my reservoir. They are not cheap, but helpful none the less. A good r.o. device (www.freedrinkingwater.com) is the best investment I ever made. I use the counter top unit and change all stages (4 filters) once a year. I have a well also and my water is terrible, as my property sits on an old peach tree farm and 50 years of fertilizer ruined my water supply.......
