@AestheticGenetics, I'll try and find the article.I do remeber it saying the difference when growing with soil compared to hydro was that the soil held onto chloramines so it didnt effect the plant but I doubt they're growers and only saw it over the trial period.They did test it but how well.If I remeber they said the tested it with something 70ppm and it had no effect and the tap water is under 5ppm.

@AestheticGenetics, They say that half the chloramine will still be there after boiling but they also say that neither are a real problem to soil microbes as tap water is always under 5ppm with either. They say that it needs to be over 150ppm so neither are a real problem but I don't know how far they looked into that and considering we know about 1% of whats happeneing with the soil food web I'll carry on standing my water.We know nothing about it.I think the last count of different types of microbes came out at over 1000 which is why I always rip a couple of handfuls of soil out of my pots to add to the tea as theres less than a dozen types in great white inoculant.Its think with roots so will have no end of microbes in it.5 days after giving my plants a brewed compost tea you can see lots of brand new furry roots on the surface off the coco,soil but it does die bacvk after a week or so which I guess is down to the dry backs and that's done with 2 day old water.I recently read that info but can't remember where, and I don't believe everything I read but this was very detailed so I am inclined to believe it.

My organic base and bud booster ads up to 5% phosphorus and 10% Potassium and that was developed on cannabis plants over a number of years by advanced nutrients. A lot of the commercial growers in cali use advanced. Their big bud is 2% P and 4% K.Most of the others are either 13/14 or 18/19 but some are 50/40.Like the majority ofnutrients they're based on the horticulture industry and all they care about are massive tomatos and peppers and fuck the taste.Iv just noticed that you are using a bloom booster.

PH.Are you using straight tap water?Are you leaving it to stand for at least 24hrs before using?Its the first time Iv seen that Terp Tea,I just checked it out.Never seen a base food that needs airating.I do like my compost tea.I'll rip a handful of soil tha's solid with roots out of a couple of my pots to add to my brew and replace nit with new soil.Week 5 with an 8wk flower is the week she puts most of her weight on she she's using a lot mmore P and K.Tjis could be what you're seeing.If nthere isnt enough she'll take it straight out of the leaves.You'll often see it in the older fan leaves first.I use big bud during mid flower but I also use bat guano mostly for the P and Ash for the K.Guana also helps with flavour.

@oldskoolkool, just keep doing you, ignore.

@HaanfSolo, I start feeding the canna every other water after around a month even though it says its got enough for several weeks. I feed every watering after a couple of weeks,whenits used its own food up.Its really hard to burn the plants with organics as its the microbes that make them available as apposed to the synthetic mineral salts that the plant takes up directly how ever much you apply which is why its so easy to burn them.Iv only gone full organic on soil in the last couple of years so don't have loads of experience.I feel like Im still finding my feet.You could do with a little more heat in your tent.Anything under 27n and my plants go pale.They say the ideal leaf surface temp should be 28c.The majority of the info iut there relates to growing with HID Lamps but the led,s lack infrared compred to hid so needs more heat.My mate at the grow shop tom me this when I first switched from hid to led.He got the info from a gavita rep.The Daylight site offers someof the best info on growin gwith led,s

@HaanfSolo, Iv tried a number if different types over the years and theres lots of great soil out there like plagron and biobizz but I settled on cannas bio terra.The 30% coco it has in it really improves the air exchange but I still add 1-2litres of clay balls into 15ltrs. pots. I used perlite for many years but I think the balls are better. I also use biobizz lightmix as the canna is a little hot for seedlings as its got enough food for the first several weeks. I use the lightmix with my seedlings in 1ltr pots for the first month or so adding food after a couple of weeks.Biobizz say its that mild that adding full strength food isn't an issue. I transplant into the canna and add nothing but a couple of stimulants for the first month.Humic acid is a must when using organics, the iguana juive has it in so when thats not being used I add my own.Humic acid makes the elements more available being putting a positive charge on them.Adavanced ancient earth is the best. I read that back and got confused myself,ha.I do my seeds in paper, cotton buds are best.I soak then in water that Iv stood for a couple of days for several hours then put them in damp but not exactly wet paper which works much better than soaking wet. I then put them in 1ltr pots with bibizz and give 30% food after around 2wks ending with a full dose after 4wks,feeding every other watering.I also add house and garden roots excelurator from day 1. After around 4wks I transplant them into the final pot,I stopped going up in stages as it doesnt seem to make any difference. The canna has enough food for several weeks so I add humic.I also add the roots excelurator for a few more wweeks.I think its ays the roots xl should be used for 5wks from wk1.I hope you can make sense of that.

@Ninjabuds,I'm going to tell you again as you're still making me look like the dick you are.You have no place giving people advice when so much of it is wrong.Youy slate my name then when I come onto your page to prove how you're wrong you ignore me and delete my comments.You should be finding those comments where you've slated me and put them right.From what I can see you go onto the questions and just repeat what other have said.How sad and desperate are you.Prove me wrong.So many of you talk so much shit.Talk about delusional.

@HaanfSolo, I was using the sensi ph perfect with coco as it saves so much time messing with ph but Iv just gone fully organic after using them side by side as the organic with soil is a better product and done with the best quality organic base feed on the market which is iguana juice theres little to no loss with yield which is an issue with most organics.Take no notice of fools like ninja,oregano and double zero.Iv handed each of them their arses on a plate over the last 2 days by giving them some facts so that should be the last of them slating me.They wouldnt even reply to my questions then went on to delete the comments of me proving them wrongThey all deleted my comments on their pages and can't even admit they're wrong never apologise for slating me.Ninja in the comment above telling me to use 1500umols which would probably kill my plants,its really basic info he's getting wrong.Iv told him he has no place telling people what to do.I dont like involving others but they're slating my good name.Reputations take a lifetime to build and morons like that can ruin them in mins.Again,sorry to go on.I'm using canna bio terra soil mix which has 30% coco in it and I'm adding clay balls to bring even more air in.The plantscertainly prefer it.They look that bit better than the ones in coco.I am still using some non organic items during veg as Iv just swapped over.Iv not grown without a root booster for over 15yrs and the best on the market is House and Gardens roots excellorator,I also use their Amino Treatment mostly for the L Forming amino acids and seaweed but it also has proteins and soy hydroslate and silicon.House and Garden are up there with the best.Even big mike from advanced said their root booster is the best out there,praise doesnt come higher.Sorry Iv just noticed Iv already told you about those clowns,Iv been trying to tell everyone we've come into contact with.You must think I'm full of shit or mad for going on about.Dicks making me look like a dick.As you can tell,I'm pissed..
