Ethos Banana Hammock comparative(exodus thread)

Think it’s cool as hell to order from an actual person . You can talk 1 on 1 if your confused or payment options , freebies in an instant. No endless emails.

Why?

Well if I knew that I wouldn’t be still having the issues lol. I think my nute ratios were fucked off. I’ve had a pretty wicked mag deficiency. So could be a number of things. Could Be lack of cal mag, could be P or K ratios being too high in my reservoir and locking out my mag. I’ll tell you what it’s not....

It’s not

RH
PH
PPM
Air temps
Reservoir temps
Light leaks
Lack of O2

So at this point I have no fucking clue. I was using GH nutes using their seedling feed chart which is supposed to have enough cal mag in the grow and micro.... but the grow,micro, and bloom were all equal parts which I feel like my PK were too high and locking my mag out. But I’m not sure. I’ve switched to Megacrop because I’ve been having really good success with its nute ratios hoping it will solve the issue. When I switched to it I put 250ppm of MC and 50 ppm of cal mag in my reservoir so we will see it’s looking better but I’m not very hopeful for it. I just got a BH above ground in a coco solo cup so I’ll be growing out another one in coco DTW while I try and figure out the DWC issue.

Agreed that was one of the parts I liked about it as well.

 

[Smokexbreak]

From what I could gather from Maine people when texting, their brands are all “ethos” quality of not better some. For whatever that’s worth.

I recognize DNA and crocket family farms. But never really have seen many people growing them or that I can recall. So we will see.

Was same chick both times . I was trying to work an angle to see if they’d support a mini comparative grow .

 

[iceman2494]

Need to stop doing this . In this case it was before jack offered.

With the trio, you should be running equal parts until you go past 400-500 ppm, then cut bloom back 25% until the switch. Don't add silica til the 2nd week. Add calmag when needed. Some plants are heavier feeders on Ca.

I’m barely running mine at above 150 on that one ?

You're running equal parts, right?

 

[iceman2494]

Of course . Stayed at 3 ml each .

Lol my plant hasn’t started taking my PPM down.... so I haven’t needed to bump it. It’s on like week 3 I think. Possibly week 4....

I’ll know it’s hungry when my PPM and water levels are dropping right?

I mean how do I know when to start bumping my ppm?

Have you seen that Iceman really isn’t giving jack shit and having great results? Sometimes less is more.

These are 110% my exact same sentiments. Dude posted exactly what I needed to say.

Ayy I wouldn’t say jack shit . I get up 15 mins earlier than I would before work and I test my ppm and my ph and reset . I just chill and see if the plant looks good or bad . I have a log of what I do and the ph swings and ppm. Just here to drink beer and party with you guysss! Yeeehaw

 

[3rd Monkey]

Of course . Stayed at 3 ml each .

Yea, you're good then.

Are you checking ppm, add RO to top off, check ppm?

300ppm is a general starting place for feeding plants older than 2 weeks. Had a pretty in-depth conversation with Tboneshuffle shuffle and he starts his seedlings in 300ppm. It’s not much. My early veg ppm numbers on my GH schedule says 1050-1350 ppm was which even at 1/4 strength is like 275-337 ppm. And I haven’t been in the seedling stage for close to a week-week and a half. So idk.

Im growing out a holy grail kush and its been my best plant out of my first 8 in my new setup, not like amazingly so but it did take to mainlining better and its looking super healthy in flower.

Heres some pics




These are from the morning of day 19F

PPM has been 300 and hasn’t dropped or risen and I haven’t needed to top off because I’m not having the water level drop....

You haven't had to add water in 3 weeks?
