The Amnesia Experiment

@Grey_Wolf, last res change and it was clean as a whistle. I do 4 gal ro, 6 tbsp molasses, 2 heaping scoops of great white, and 3 to 4 handfuls of EWC in a sock and brew for 48 hours. I then add to my reservoirs at a ratio of 20 to 1. Aside from my indoor dutch bucket, I use it in my outdoor kratky tomatoes peppers herbs and lettuces and all have brilliant roots even with 80° res.

@Ga4rd2en0er, how do you go with the molasses in hydro? I tried it once and the res filled up with a slimy foamy film never did it again lol

@Grey_Wolf, that's what I was thinking just the sharp rise in pH alarmed me. I inoculate bi Weekly with a tea I brew with EWC, great white powder, RO water and fed backstrap molasses.

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks Nova, I inoculate with great white myco powder and earthworm castings fed with backstrap molasses. I can see being myself being over critical, it's one of the reasons I smoke 😊. Thanks again growmie!

@Ga4rd2en0er, yes to everything you said let me just add it might be a good thing to add bennies to the tea just to assure it's got that chelation power, but yeah most of it is probably being strict on yourself growmie 🏆 🚀

@Ga4rd2en0er, gotcha. Good luck

@Wicked_Stix, unfortunately I tried that and the buckets are far to wide mouthed compared to the 5 gal bucket. I'm setting up an outdoor Dutch bucket with reg 5 gal buckets and will definitely be using the strainers.

@Wicked_Stix, thank you, I am excited as I finally have enough headroom to run a hydro setup. Thanks for stopping by!! Cheers

@DinafemSeeds, thanks Mark. Great dinafem genetics as always.

@Ga4rd2en0er, unless you’re adding beneficial to every feed you’ve got chance of brown slime especially in res temps over 18c. Wipe the side of your res with paper towel. If a load of brown slime on the side/bottom of res. I would go ahead and do a H2o2 bath in your res, get some new air stones and see if that makes a difference. As your in flower you can use phosphoric acid instead of nitric acid which is more common. 1 more thing this might help If you dump the water in cold then put nutrients in, the PH will change as the water warms up... Good luck, let me know how you get on✌️

@PharmaZ, I've used straight ro, I've used straight tap, I've used 50/50 mix. I mix all my nutes for a while in a 5 gal bucket to ensure no precipitation of the suspended nutes and have a small pump circulating the water within the res along with 2 large airstones powered by a 10 w pump. First thing I do when I open the tent daily is check ph then adjust and work on plants (lst, defoil, etc) and check ph again when done. Not sure if maybe the tnb down is crap, first time using it as I ran out of trusty old GH ph down. I think after this run I'm going to build a platform to put my tent on and use a larger res outside the tent. My res is only 7 gal due to holes in the latching handles on the tote. Thanks for the input and keep the ideas coming!

@Ga4rd2en0er, im thinking something to do with the benificials, wether it’s good or bad bacteria it can cause Ph swings. Are you using RO water?

@Ga4rd2en0er, praying to the ganja gods for ya

@Denzul, they definitely tried my patience this run. But with the bad pH down I was using, they had a rough first couple weeks of flower so I think it elongated the flowering window. Fingers crossed this weekend and the last one will be done.

@@JP148, thanks JP!

@JinksyGrows, it's a very happy smoke indeed. Thanks Jinks!!

@Kid_Colombia, I am far from an expert but happy to share what I know. Stop by anytime!

@CaptainCream, she felt a bit more amnesia in smoke and bud structure vs NL. Great hash plant, lots of trichs everywhere.
