All good with these EC Genetics.
The Scotian Gold is growing really strong and developing some impressive Christmas tree shaped buds. I've been feeding her at 700-750 PPM (EC 1.4-1.5) and she seems quite content in that range. She drinks heavily, typically consuming 3-4 litres/day. She's getting some stink on her now - quite pungent; almost cheese like at this stage.
Although not as impressive in stature as the SG, the Pineapple Skunk is doing well. I raised her bucket another couple of inches earlier this week to get her canopy a little more even with the Scotian Gold. She has a much smaller bud structure by comparison but it looks like they should be tight and frosty. Her fragrance is very subtle at this point. She's being fed similarly to the SG but she is not nearly as demanding with her feedings, consuming about 1 litre/day.
Thanks for tuning in โ๏ธ
@Oozle, So far, I really like the Remo nutes. I find the EC readings are little lower and PH more stable vs. comparable quantities of the GH nutes. I used Diamond Nectar before which I suppose serves similar purpose as the velokelp. Hopefully, they respond as well to the flowering nutes!
@StunFlower, The natures candy has carbs in it. I've heard carbs can cause the bad bacteria to go crazy, but I've seen people use molasses in DWC and not have problems. So maybe try it in 1 reservoir and see what happens lol. Also, I am not sure there is the rhizosphere needed in DWC to breakdown and process those carbs. I use enough stuff in my reservoirs, so I look for any excuse to not add more lol.
I think the velokelp is a lot like the liquid karma I use. I love using kelp, but I found it makes the reservoirs a little brown and funky, so I try to use a few days before I plan to change my reservoir and mainly in flower as kelp is supposed to help make stinkier buds.
Don't let my experiences stop you from trying those products.. maybe I was using them wrong or had something else out of whack in my grow room. Definitely interested to see how your plants look if you use them.
@Oozle, Thanks! I thought I recalled you mentioning something about something in their product line that was problematic in DWC - can you refresh my memory? I'm not sure if it was the Velokelp or something else. ๐ค
@CannaScuzzyB, Hey pal! Great to hear from you. I can only assume things are starting to pop in your gardens again ๐ I've been doing fine - keeping busy; the summer flew by! I hope things are well with you!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
