So I'm starting this second season with clones from the first one; choosing the best ones we have 2 Euphoria, 1 og kush and 1 gelato#33.
I'm trying to switch to something more sustainable and bio, so i'reasearxhing for a water only strategy with water automation so I can be more relaxed previous getting out on vacation.
First I've reused the soil from my last season and reamend it with 20% of wormcastings from atami plus 20ish% of perlite. Then for each 20L/5gal pot I've added:
- 1+1/2 cups of diatomaceous earth
- 1+1/2 cup of calcium carbonate
- 3 cups of basalt rock powder
This was my base for both techniques I'm testing, one from biotabs, and the other from greenhouse genetics
So on the left, we have the biotabs testing, 1 Euphoria and one gelato#33, on the soil:
- 3 biotabs each
- 100g startex
- 5g mycotrex
- 5g bactrex
- 5ml/L orgatrex ( added 1L after transplant)
On the right we have the greenhouse feedings bio line testing, 1 Euphoria, 1 og kush, on the soil:
- great white mycos
- 60g greenhouse feedings biogrow
- 1g/L greenhouse feedings bio enhancer
Both seems to have a really good chance of success and both have pros and cons, I'm trying to reduce the number of used products as well and that seems to be a negative point on biotabs, however they have the full nutrients needed to amend an grow, meanwhile greenhouse feedings makes you reamend the soil at least with wormcastings and calcium before each grow, and you must get this outside of the line....
Which dimming intensity? Why 50cm distance?
The company recommends 30cm and 75% intensity in veg and 100% in bloom.
I am happy to learn from you!
Thanks

@Biotabs, thanks for reaching out and the comment, I'm really inclined to use your products for now on, even sent you a message via your site to clarify some doubts, some about that product and no-tiling, others about the pk booster , but 2weeks have been passed and no feedback unfortunayely...
