@MaryJaneUSA, yes, I was told its similar to coco, but without the huge need for gobs of calmag. hydro store guy says it buffers pH a little better than coco, but ive never grown in anything else so i cant confirm. Im just now starting to learn how to read my plants better.
First off your grow looks amazing. Hope I can come close to your yields!
I'm currently growing a single Californian Snow (CS) with some other strains and I'm on week 7 now. I feel like my CS has a way droopier look to the leaves. They look droopy before watering when it's for sure dried out, and they look droopy even a few hours after I've watered. I can kinda see the same in your grow during the first couple of weeks of flower. Do you remember thinking the same thing about the look of the leaves even though the plant is healthy otherwise?
Hi , I have a newbie question , so your base nutrients on autos you cut too half or even qaurter the recommended strength , bit does that rule also apply too bloom boosters and pk in flower too ??
@LockDownGrow, to be honest, I would call that a starting point. I have always used the supplements like pk boosters at the normal strength called for in the feed schedule. Remember they are supplements. Your bases cover the highest percentage of nutrients, and these are where i start my adjustments until the plant was happy. Many factors play into it including your lighting, climate, genetics, plant size etc. For me, the most important part was learning how to read the plant (still learning). Spend as much time as possible, reading and learning about the differences between mobile and immobile nutrients, nutrient deficiencies AND excesses. and how they present on the plant. Once i started to understand this a little more and started to apply it..well the pictures speak for themselves. Compare this round of autos I'm currently running to my previous auto runs. Same climate, same everything except for no deficiencies so far this round.
3 quick questions 1.did you use the recommended amount of terpinator? 2.do you really believe that it helps with the smell does it make a difference? 3.and when you added it to the water did you add it with the nutrients in the same container or did you add it separately?
