extra fingers on fan leaf most likely genetics , slurry is good .. hopefully she does a nice transition from salts to nectar .. you can cultured tea samples off there website , or like others said photo plus or fishes!t ...... I also took notice nectar online store got rid of some stuff for sale , really starting to tighten it up on what they sell ....

On Oregonsonly.com or Oregonsconstantgardener.com??? I have only ever purchased the sample from oregonsonly direct and the rest of the nectar & nectarfam products from OCG.

Is there a cheat sheet of % for amounts to add of all these different amendments?..or is it REALLY a guessing game.
 
also I have all my old soil broking up in a tote I followed the 10 gal a soil to 1 gal water to rehydrate, now the soil feels like it does right out the bag, does that sound right for moisture levels?

for me the more amendments I add the less I use ...If im using 4 different amendments I use 1/2 cup to 1 cup .... gotta keep track on how much you use and watch how plant respond .... im only amending 5 gallons at a time ....

Perfect......Base Saturation.....if you ever see the term "field capacity".....it's similar but a little more wet, to where a fistfull of soil squeezed produces a few drops of water to drip. You are golden!! Good point to reammend and possibly sprinkle some bokashi after then wet it with like a quart of water to bring it all together!!...pump sprayer is best for this.

I do mine comparing what Tim McCormick suggests and how buildasoil mixes soil. Both have very available info online. Then like bubba said, if you have multiple ammendments just add up accordingly...example would be like 1.5 Cups total of nutrients per 10 gallons of soil, so 6 different nutrient ammendments would be a 1/4 Cup each. Its a good base line to follow, after a proper composting time (COOK) you should be able to sow seeds direct without burning.

Yes I quickly figure out
the pump sprayer was the tool for this, for now i just hit it with em-1 30mil to a gal to get it to this point I'm still waiting for the earthshine and bokashi to get here then I'm cooking.....literally lol

you can add one shot in it .... that last 3-6 months ...
 
OK, I have a quart of Photosynthesis Plus coming in a few days. How much of this do you need to add, and with what frequency? In the meantime, I was wondering if my old bottle of Big Bloom would serve a similar purpose? Also, second watering has been completed, the plants don't seem to be any worse off for sure, looking great, and the flowers continue to fatten up each morning I can see it from my time lapse photos... :) Have started a seedling too in #4 soil, looks happy so far!

big bloom is a salt ( use at your own risk) use Gaia , Gaia is the "big bloom" or "big buds". .... I use photo plus with teas only , to start you use 12ml per gallon , there after its 6ml per gallon ... . whats nice with #4 soil . even tho the ph is 7 and ppm are low it gives you the time to get everything in range with out rushing it ...
 
Tiger bloom is the salt.....Big Bloom is bat guano & worm castings like Mega Morpheus. Its a TEA supplement, not a base nutrient like Medusa & Gaia.....Bubba is right too though, Gaia can be your Big Bloom, just ramp it up weekly. Add the photo+ weekly at a minimum.

OK, I'll just throw out the rest of my big bloom then probably... I'm already ramping up with the Gaia... I still have reading to do :)
 
12 ml photo+
15-30 ml HERC
15-30 ml Fox Farm Big Boom

Mix nutes first, PH, then add microbes and drench
Will be a nice BLOOM TEA, once or twice thru the bloom cycle will really boost results and have no salt issues!!
 
Quick update, all is going well with the transition, into week 6 now. One of my girls though is just starting to get what looks like a slight cal or mag def maybe. Just a very little light brown only on the lower mid leaves. I did a slurry and ph was 6.5, but PPMs are only 250. So should I do a drenching with Herc at 2tbs maybe? I've been following the simple schedule, roughly 2,1,2,2 (Medsu, Gaia, Zeus, Herc) with every watering just about the past two weeks... Or would a bloom tea work better? Maybe there's nothing much wrong to be honest, just noticed the off leaves down below a bit... It looks like what this strain used to do if it was starting to get nute lockout... Also, should I increase the Herc to 3 or 4? And is watering with these four every time ok? Oh also, I'm still waiting on my Photo+ to come tomorrow... Overall it's looking to be my best haul yet though...
 
AND..... I figured out my problem - I'm an idiot... That's supposed to be tablespoons of Gaia and Herc, oops! I was doing teaspoons. So I suppose what I'll actually do is just start ramping up the Herc, and quickly...
