My grow rooms are all dwc for low maintenance, repeatability of growth. Aquaponics on pet tanks as water filter but don't care bought plants realy. Veg garden is primarily organic just to process plant waste. Bugby is a great source if you are into the science and experimentation.

Before work rudely interrupted me yesterday. You are using a modified wick or "SIP" method? I thought you were running drain to waist. That explains why you only have to water maybe twice a week and so concerned with runoff EC. Running to SIP not waste is different. Rinse the catch pan out...

First out can indicate media residual nutrient. End should indicate full replacement with new ec and catch tray will give an average of the 2. So first or end can be usefull but not really the catch pan average.

Went ahead and chopped her after a test toke fallowed by 5 hour buzz.

Ok, every third should be water. Feed Sunday, feed Thursday, water Sunday, feed Thursday and so on. That isn't a lot of water for 6.7 gallons, even if cool. Media drainage and plant roots will change the volume of liquid but the percentages are what you are looking at. At least 20% of the feed...

By my math she is at 7 -8 weeks. I was swamped with work when I started flower so she may have started flower before I noted it on here. Most all of the fan leaves have depleted, pistols all turned red last two weeks and she is dyeing off. Trichomes are 50% amber and 50% clear but vary few...

Just re read this and wanted to clarify. feed on day 1, water on day 3 and feed on day 5, wait for the new week. If your run off EC is higher than feed water reduce the EC, not the number of meals a week. Many of the minerals can not be stored so it needs a constant supply.

Just curious is perfectly acceptable. Your plant didn't read or write the feed chart so trust the plant. The charts are a general average ballpark guide. With hundreds of strains and thousands of hybrids appetite can vary. The EC meters are just a communication tool to help talk plant. The best...

I have 2 silicones but no clue what is in them any more. Also have a jar full of folded and labeled parchments. Almost always reach for a strain, not a surprise.

Really need more basic information. What media are you using? What method, organic soil, drain to waste hydro...? What stage is the plant, ie. mid veg, early flower...? Did you fert 1.2ec on 5/3, and 5/5 with water run off .7ec on 5/7? How much run off are you giving her?

Adding sugars to soil explodes the microbe population, wringing out any raw nutrients in the soil. The crash is them starving because the soil is depleted of raw minerals. The claims it makes the buds sweeter,, that's not how bio chemistry works. Imagine a bat guano flavored bud. The bigger...

I have use several of the bud snake oils over the years on side by side clones. Never found one that made any positive improvements to the plant. Roots can not absorb any sugar you could feed it. Even if you found a source of monosaccharide glucose it won't effect the bud on a healthy plant. The...
