Ya those taller brewing buckets are great. I was using reg 5 gals. I do have 1 of the homebrew buckets from a few years back, but didn't want to use it in case I decide to brew some beer again. I actually am using the long handled aerator from my brew kit as a stir stick though.

How many air stones do you use to get your tea brewed in one of the totes? I'm finding it a challenge to clean the stones after brewing.

I use 6 in the tote. And for cleaning, I just rinse and soak em in hot water in a pitcher, changing the water until it's pretty clear. Then I scrub em a little with a blue scrubby side of a sponge and sit em on some paper towel in the bottom of the pitcher to absorb moisture. I bought the ones from the hydro shop so they clean up easier. I also boil em if I want to really clean them, but only if they look they're not working as well. And a side note about the tub, I also marked it with a Sharpie so I have gallon markers to make it easier. Here's a few pics to help.

Although its time consuming I enjoy growing in soil, organic grows equal good product :weed:

House n garden soil, hydro is fine im sure aqua better. Silica dutchmaster, rock boost for initiator n resin for booster, eco amino for amino acids. Seaweed eco 16%potasium, liquid lead from grow hard as a flush or advanced flush products are good. Heavy wieght is also good as bloom booster. Go go juice probiotic. . These are not all used together but just keep ure ec at 1.2/4 max in veg then go back to the e.c from week 3 in veg as week 1 in flower. So usually 1.2 if week 4 is 1.4. So stay at till you peak it 1.8ec max then flush oh yeah worm juice snd compost teas can cut alot of this with admendments as. Blood n bone, gypsum, barley crushed worms, neem meal, zeolite,

Nuthin fancy for me.. this is pretty representative for my norm of late using CFL and Miracle Grow 'All Purpose' from start to end. Only other thing I have in my bag of tricks is a simple PH litmus test, alcohol and h20.


Miracle Grow? Get's the job done. Cost? I dunno.. I bought a box last year for 6 bucks, I have harvested about a lb and a half/2 lbs since and still have half a box.

---

I'm not a 'fan'. It's cheap and works and I use it. Had of Jacks or another all purpose been on sale that day I would of bought that instead. Like I said, I am simple and only do this for myself anymore, I don't like to bother with extra stuff and my plants don't seem to mind as long as they are getting their NPK and trace.
Mircle grows only down side is what it does to the soil?? Not hating. learning..

Im only thinking about your heslth using a flush can really changd your end product as well as using enzymes as they play a part in making objects if u read up how important they are in enviroment and life

The right fertilizer can make a huge difference. For the first-time grower, it can be a truly daunting. With so many options to choose from that range from hydroponic to organic nutrients, new growers can quickly get overwhelmed.

Black gold soil (clean slate) Using Grow More 30-10-10, botanicare cal mag, pro-teKt, pH between 6.2 and 6.6, run off always 6.6 no matter what goes in (weird). Could use advice for flower which is soon. Last water was a no nute water so perfect timing. Strain is (Super Chunk x GSC) x yet to find out. One pic of day I got her, with every imaginable thing wrong from mites to being root bound in a tiny pot, to having to reveg because was in flower (must have been inside with no light for a bit before I got her).

So....flower nutes for a beginner?

I’m pretty new but looks like overwatering to me, please don’t do anything based on my opinion lol. Would be a good guess though if you are new as well.

Question??? Hi I'm growing down under...ordered 15 reg seeds, hash bomb, Old Skool, have 4 seedlings in coco coir one week old using Hy-Gen nutes from Tasmania. 15ml of A+B+10ml of Budlink-Silica under 400watt HPS and a dual spectrum 125watt CFL. I also have a six hole DWC shoebox shaped with Net cup's and sponges+air stone and pump 4 gallon resoveir with tiny sponges it doesn't look like it could produce or withstand a good plant but am curious and will try cloning in the DWC system if I can. I still have another 5 I hope will be successful but just being patient atm and letting them do their thing. Any help or questions welcomed
