19.1.25:
I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g.
I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes.
It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements.
I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients.
Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;-
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys
I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements.
I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄
I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation.
The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double.
I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest.
I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too.
I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle.
24.1.25:
I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix.
This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments:
♡ 60% Canna coco
♡ 20% Worm castings
♡ 15 % Perlite
The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;-
♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys
♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano
♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth
♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster.
♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle.
•Worm castings for some all round nutrition.
•Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent.
•Canna coco base substrate.
•Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system.
•Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds.
•Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom.
•RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes.
•Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits.
•Diatomaceous earth for Silica.
•Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
Ok guys, I assume all of us know at least a little about water PH. I need some expert advice. My soil PH is 7.0. I PH my water between 6.0 and 6.5. Which is important? The PH of the Soil, or water? If i need to lower my soil PH, how do i do it? Any dry ammendments that I can add?
Lowering soil PH is a bit more tricky. You can do it with additives you add into the water like PH down be it from any acids in liquid form. Or you can do it from a amendment perspective by adding in Sulfur compounds that when broken down by microbes release Sulfuric acid that also lowers the PH without having the need to touch the water. Same with the alternative of raising PH, garden lime for the dry amendment option and PH Up for the water additive, normally made out of potassium of some sort, carbonate or hydroxide are the main ones I see.
Indoors most people alter the water and call it a day, outdoors is easier to alter the soil its self as rain and such tends to water it.
With plants grown in soil. I find the PH can drift upwards without much negative effect on the plants. I aim for 6.5-6.8 baseline and only really try and correct it if the PH goes above 7.5-7.8 their will be pockets in the soil that are higher and lower and it evens everything out.
Your plants will also tell you if something is wrong and your plants look healthy, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. I woud keep doing what your doing and if you feel the need to alter PH, using a water additive would be best as not to disturb the roots in flower.
