So, this is probably my 8th or 9th indoor grow, with 3 outdoor grows of variable success rates. I have not kept journals although I hope to start at some point. I believe that genetic purists have noted elsewhere that Banghi Haze does not actually contain "Haze" genetics, so it is not quite ultra Sativa. I always have it in the back of my head that PPM's should not exceed watts. Whether that means "Light watts" or "Total Watts" is something I constantly battle with. I didnt want to throw 1000ppm's at it but coco based nutes are thick. If I ran this line at 100% I would be at 1500 PPM's on the .5 scale. I think coco nutes are thicker to account for a hand off at the elemental level. I believe a good deal of those ppm's stick to the coco and are not taken up by the plant. I was hoping to work this grow up to the 600 watt potential, rather than just throwing the light at it. My last 2 grows have gone a bit sideways in that respect, although they were a different strain and in RDWC. I have no doubt that I would burn holes in the fan leaves if I threw all 600W at this point.
After consulting with the boys at the hydro store, I decided to drop the base to 5ml/gal and supplement the first 60ppm's of RO water with Mag/Sulfur AKA Sweet, and hold steady on supplements and light until we have some new data.
yup i do and have said that you shouldn't go over ppms compared to the watts of the lights.
You have to turn it up you cant just wait till the last week and turn it up to 600 and say oh boy I did it.. Growing a plant and trying to get shit done means it takes time and you have to have the time and light for the plant to grow.
Your last grow wasn't hurt by turning up the light unless you had the light too close.
I believe a good deal of those ppm's stick to the coco and are not taken up by the plant. NO! I wouldnt say stick I would say introduced to the growing medium and if it doesnt touch the roots it isnt going to get taken up by the plant that's is why you need microbes that go out and harvest what the plant wants and gets it for the plant ...learn what microbes do!!!!!! And if you had a microrizia population going on as well then you would be even better off but it takes time to get that going.
and the boys at the hydro store are there to sell you something. In this case it was sweet or they could of just told you to go to the grocery store store and get some epsom salt or even better a garden store..... joes or home dipshit or my nards and get a big bag of epsom salts cheaper than a grocery store.
You need to drop your ppm's to 800 and get a microbe product going once a week water a bit less ...you can water your microbe population right out of the pot in the waste water so no to generous runoff and hold steady till new data comes in. and turn the light up/// raise it up if you have to.
And you dont run a nutrient line at 100 percent 3/4 strength max to a healthy happy plant. or you'll be wasting it
supplement the first 60ppm's of RO water with Mag/Sulfur AKA Sweet
this makes no sense too me.
