Honestly I think they had totally different designation system back then but he had a lot or responsibility. One time he was standing in front of formation and a Lt. with the brass in the jeep drove over his big toe. While he was in the infirmary they came through and tried to give him a purple heart, he said he wouldn't accept it for getting his toe run over by a lieutenant that cant drive a jeep. He had plenty anyways.

Anyhows it’s crazy how ur grandad let you know a few things about that artillery.

He told me tons of stuff about his experience, I was the only one of his children or grand children that took interest.

Known Aim said:

Also how important is a ppm meter for testing runoff? Any brand better than others that I can pick up fairly inexpensive

More important for testing the input PPM of your feed mixes. If you have plenty of runoff when you water/feed then the runoff shouldn't ever get high. If you ever bone up for a bad ass pH meter, I highly recommend the bluelab digital soil pH meter, you can measure the root zone pH in the soil and it works on liquids just fine.

Ok great I’m looking into jacks now would u say a kg bag of a and b would last an entire grow from clone to harvest

It has been a while since I used jacks, I think it was something like (per gallon) 3 grams of part A, 2 grams of part B and 1 gram of epsom salt. A kilogram is 1000 grams.

Some ppl have found the calcium nitrate cheaper at other places, same with the magnesium sulfate.

This is the ph meter I have now. I’m looking online for ppm meters and will do some research on the options I come across. Thanks again. I wonder if it be easier to chat via messenger.

That one reads both liquids but also the soil.

Buddass Tree Organicus 99% all in one veg and bloom nutrient is the bee's knees.

It makes monsters, cheap as chips and I only ever use 1ml per ltr.

This product is worth noticing.

Can’t seem to find a US seller all are in the UK. Are you in the UK or US? If the US have you found a seller here or do you just get it shipped overseas?

UK here bud but I'm sure there is some place to ship to US.

I used to get Nectar for the Gods from the USA. I know different but I'm sure it's possible there must be a seller willing to ship international.

Maybe direct from Buddhas Tree?

Hey everyone new to site and growing. I’m a first time grower in Michigan and as started off given a bottle of skunkwerks all in one nutes. I finished my first gallon and reordered another at $150 a gallon. I was wondering if anyone ever used skunkwerks and if so what was your experience with it.

The label says 5.5-5.8 ph and 3 different dosages (ml per gallon) depending on the stage of the plant. Which seems low for a soil grow. I’ll include pics of the label.

Also I was wondering if anyone has had great results from an all in one, or liquid nutes in general that are cheaper than $150 a gallon. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Yes all n one is worth the money! I use 10ml/gal on all veg stages they love it. I never need to flush and no yellow tips. I use 15ml/gal in flower weeks 1-4. Then 15ml/gal part B from 5-8. But flush once a week to be safe not to burn them in flowering. All n one at 10ml/gal makes a 5.9ph which is just fine. At 15ml/gal all in one hit a 5.5 with my tap water. Though the 15ml/of Part B drops ph down to like a 4. But best thing really is that the nutes are super clean in res unlike everything else out there where the res becomes a nasty mess and you only need 1 nute not 8 nutes as many other brands need to get best results. So in all the price isn't that different as 8 different nutes will cost more considering how much you need of each nute.

Btw I have tried many different nutes. So many people just can't believe it will work but it does awesome. Plus made right in michigan. Im in MI here as well. If chatting with organic lovers. They will put down anything they don't believe in. i even tried organic super soils subcool and michigan made brand supersoil. Skunkwerks makes them look like childs play. If you want you could add a bit of bud candy in flowering stages. But again it will gook up the res. I use bud candy in a handheld nute sprayer at the end of the hose with skunkwerks in res. So the plants get extra sugars but the res dont become a mess. Still testing that though. Might just be wasting time with the bud candy. Mostly flavor comes from flushing and curing. Many different myths online but have found skunkwerks is as good as any nute out there. I tried fog ponics aeroponic and straight up hydro. Nothing beats promix with skunkwerks imo. To add. I have tried dwc as well. After years of growing I got tired of cleaning stuff all the time. Not supposed to be a fulltime job. Lol
Also subcool was awesome water only with great results. But tired of having to take up tons of room for the cooking process. Plus having to clean buckets and transplanting is more wasted time as supersoil needs refreshed before flowering or it will run out of power before its time. I don't care for buying china made stuff but 247garden.com 5gal smart pots 1.20 each if you buy 160. No more cleaning buckets! Just toss em. I btw veg a long time why subcool ss sucks for me. If going small supersoil might be your cup of tea. I have 2 big compost tumblers forsale and 2 water chillers and 2 12disc floating foggers(cool for Halloween) and a bunch of oldschool hps/mh hoods forsale.
