started grow question 4y ago
How do you exactly use GHE silicate powder in hydro set up? When I mix it in the tank in 24h it has all settled on the bottom. Advice needed !

Go light and use the liquid version. This stuff will burn a hole through diamond, so dilute it well before adding to reservoir or it will precipitate you nutes. Use half strength. This will spike a 5 gallon bucket near 8 or higher at 2 ml/gal.

BioThrive Fertilizer Water pH & PPM
I tested my BioThrive Bloom+CaMg fert water for the first time ever today; I've been feeding 4.5 pH & 340 ppm fert water solution; Soil pH is 6.7-ish per the Rapitest meter. Should I add pH up solution to make the fert water 6.2pH? What if the soil pH increases over 6.7?

Thoughts on compost tea?
First time making compost tea, if anyone can think of anything to build on, would appreciate some knowledge. Already have a 4-4-4 mixed in to the coco coir, so I’m making the tea out of 🍅 fertilizer for calcium and molasses for sugar.

Which NPK Ratio for autoflowers?
what npk ratio is good? if i only use the ph perfect micro,grow and bloom it will give a ratio of 4-3-8. if i add B52,Big Bud,Nirvana and overdrive i get a ratio of 7-10-20.. if i only add overdrive i get a ratio of 5-8-12 which seems better in my opinion then adding them all in.

I'm feeding Bionova Coco Forte A+B which is 8-0-0 and 0-6-12. I'm afraid my buds will be airy due to low P and K dosages. Do you think this will be the case? I was thinking of adding Bionova P20 and K20 to the schedule as she enters flower. Too much or should I go for it?
