I'm curious why you feel this way. I'm not saying one is better than thr other ot anything, just curious...I was talking about 4x4 feetthat is half of what I just harvested
I used technaflora for my hydro... I cant wait to get back in the dirt though.

I like mixing it, seeing plants thrive in it, keeping it alive. When I picture a soil and a plant working together in harmony, its just lovely. I know there are thousands upon thousands of different species of microbes/fungi living and working together breaking down a perfect mix of raw organic matter and making it available to the plant... Not much (to me) beats the feeling of mixing a kick ass dialed in soil and seeing plants going ape shit in it and loving life. I feel the same way about brewing teas as I do mixing soil... Plus I like mixing my methods of growing to keep things interesting (All of my grows are proof of this). Im gonna start growing allot of different species of plants besides cannabis in the future as well... gotta mix it up.

this needs some music to go with it..^^^
i feel ya on the soil,i have yet to mix a full batch,,but i know when i do,it will be worth every speck of it.

ive only grown mmj in hydro, tho iv got a few going in soil at the moment. ive grown many vegie gardens and have a house full of house plants all in soil. not real comfortable going soil yet, i know that sounds backwards but thats the way it is. i think soil would be easier to do multiple strains and flowering times as well as basib plant maintenance but like dez i wouldnt want to do grows in soil where it turns into work watering n such. with that said im planning to do a full soil grow nexy yr just to see how it compares to my norm. both growth rate n taste...

Mixing water is work, no doubt about it, def pros and cons each way mmmhmmmm. I also enjoy mixing the soil and using all sorts of "goodies" too. It defintely works well for my perpetual garden with several strains running, different cycles and different feedings. Mixing a super soil is great for ease of watering though, I don't feed much if at all for 2-3 weeks into flower, just PH balance and a little cal mag here and there. Then I slowly introduce organic bloom nutes and little guys that work in the soil. Good luck with the soil grows, I hope you have fun comparing.

Whodat....Do you follow the "Recipe For Success" provided by Technaflora? If not, what do you do? I use the same nutes and would like to know what you do vs. what I'm doing. Thanks.

I use by their feeding chart, but I adjust concentrations per strain.

You don't up the dose during flower? How do I find out if a strain wants more or less of something? Just from the leaves and the signs of deficiency?

I followed the recipe, just diluted.
By monitoring how the ph and ppm of the water drifts over time you'll be able to see if the plant is eating all the nutes your giving them. So if the ppms have actually gone up and ph went down over the course of a day lest just say from 1500-1600, this leads me to believe that the plant drank more water and left some nutes behind that it didnt eat thus raising the ppm. At this point Im going to lower the ppm by diluting then writing it down (lets say we diluted it down to 1350)and check again the next day. The next day after that, the ppms read 1450, so dilute again down to 1200 and write it down. Now, the next day we see the ppm is down to 1100 and the ph is naturally raising, this makes me think a more ideal feeding for this strain is around 1200-1300ppm... BUT! plants will feed more/less in different phases.
Average ppm for these cuts iv run~
Sour D~ 600
?p~800
AK~1400
space bomb~500.
Now take all that with a grain of salt, because I didnt really read this anywhere and havent really herd other peeps mention it,,,,, its purely what Iv noticed and what I think is happening.

whodat im thinking like you, find the sweet spot n stay there till the plant tells you otherwise. i think common sence and reading your plants are more acurate than a feed chart. feed charts give a generac balance to work with but like you said variables out the ass when it comes to spacifics. my rule of thumb is to error on the weaker side when feeding, i can always add more if needed.
again let me repeat im talking about hydro as ive zero exp. in soil, altho im sure the same applies.

Id like to add that I up the nutes until I find the max and then stay at that spot and upping little by little just to se if their appetite has increased.
Yes hydro
Iv never checked ppm or ph in any of my soil grows, I let the soil do the work... but if they start to look hungry I'll top dress and or add some tea
