Why have the gods forsaken us? Massive auto defoliation going on

Yep, working on organic compost based no till pots for next grow

and only use the H202 once a week when u clean out the water and change it over ....then add the micros in the water mix[/QUOTE]

I'm running organics in a 30L reservoir. It has a solar powered air pump but weather is pretty shit round here atm. My hydro shop guy recommended running chemical nutes (free with growpak) and sterile reservoir for first grow and then getting organics running after I get the basic right.

Seemed that way until now.

PS: I will never purchase advanced nutrients or other canna business products. I'm a gardener. I can grow a plant, just need to learn how to please this one the way she like it.

the guy in the shop is right and wrong ........doing it just chemical will normally always lead to some issue (good for learning horrible for supply and accounts) most plans from the suppliers include a basic micros (vegan plant food booster from the flora kit comes to mind)

in all feeding there are 2 main things Feeds and Stackers
feeds are anything that adds in NPK
stackers are all other things

currently from what i am understanding at this point and time u are mostly Chemical with only bat poop adding into system (that is a organic with some micros)

those fab 4 pack i showed u 3 of them are sheer micros (the whole good line of them) 8mls per gallon is the mix i go 10ml....the bud candy is pure mag
i personally like fox farms big bloom .....i use that in the system to keep the micros happy and going (only down side is it settles so a flood and drain system will need something in the rev to stir it up before the system cycles other wise after a few hours of adding it settles )

there is also vegan plant food booster from GH

chemical is where the power is but organics is what keeps it balance (even fox farms the mostly chemical has a few organic to keep the system happy )
root drench
micro brew
big bloom
bimbee (new one for them i like ) i know got it wrong
the rest of the line is all chemical based

in wk2 of flower I paused the H2O2 and brewed a series of AACTs which I flushed the pots with.

They also got a foliar AACT, seaweed extract, and fulvic acid is added.

I believe in a holistic growing approach, but there is only enough room for one shaman in the grow cave and the big agribusinesses aren't welcome.

what works is what works
the mix of it is known and several programs out there can copy and tell u how to mix it yourself

link won't load for me, u got another one?

thanks for all the input so far @justugh, i think along the same lines as you for sure

your mixing in some more part A right

you mean Ca/N right? I'm just swinging the system back to chemical basics and using Flairform grow (3-1-5) 1-part and ionic bloom 1 part as a salvage KISS tank.

I need to get more info about my A/B nutrient pack before I can plug into hydrobuddy, looks like something I needed to have 2 months ago, thanks for linking to it.
