    What do you believe is the fundamental problem with [American] government?

    The truth revealed... here's where I can agree... Trump promised to clean out the swamp then turned around and gave them trillions of dollars by not using his veto power.

    What has Trump done to this country?

    He died on the cross for it so I guess so... live by the sword die by the sword

    What has Trump done to this country?

    You people and your government can turn a normal case of the flu into a worldwide pandemic. I never wear a mask and I still don't have Covid. They are playing you in order to push trillions of dollars of bills through Congress. The government steals your money and you have to wear the mask...

    Wake up people... this has been going on since before you were born. When Jesus stood up for taxation he took the sins of the world upon him... once anointed with miraculous powers he suddenly became hated and was crucified along with the thieves and murderers proving beyond a shadow of a doubt...

    I like the powdered chems… pH is much more stable than with off the shelf mixes. I've switched from pro-mix back to coco coir and am much happier with the result... less nutrient in the coco from the start so it doesn't mess with your fertilizer ratio quite as bad (at least initially).

    Nah... still too much gap between N and P ratio... too heavy on the P looks like.... have to either up the N or down the P. Have to let the plants load up on N before going to 1:1.5 N:P... time will tell (Oops I'm talking phosphate... metric or SAE lol). Edit: I ain't put that smiley in there???

    Well I must admit after some trial and error that rockwool would be a much better medium to test out fertilizer concentrations on. The lower CEC would make it much easier to flush out if you add too much of something. I'm running about 100-150-200 now and things are looking pretty good. I...

    I can't actually weigh out such small amounts... instead I dissolve anywhere from 1/8 to 2 t per 16 oz water depending on the concentration I'm trying to achieve and use a pipette to measure out ml of this concentrate. I only do a small op for what I need to keep me in smoke so maybe I mix 10...

    Yea the yearly entry was all I could find. I'd rather read his blogs than watch the tube. Well my final thoughts on chelates is they are only necessary if you mix concentrated stock solutions. Sulfates do not play well at heavy concentrations due to solubility limitations. I don't mix...

    Probably steel... EDTA has a high affinity for iron so they say. I check his blogs on occasion when I come across a link, but I guess I'll have to get serious if I want to make some headway... he has a lot of blogs. Anyone know if there is a blog table of contents on his site?

    Hopefully I didn't f up my mix by using a metal spoon (guess it'll have a little extra aluminum or whatever the spoon is made from). I'd love to download and read his ebook but he has removed it from circulation.

    EDTA and the other chelates are a little scary to me... they make my metal teaspoons shiny when I measure them out (guess the chelates are still able to dissolve metal when in ionic form). Wonder what this "spoon shine" does when it gets in the human body.

    They claim that foliar applications of silicon are ineffective... better to apply silicon to the soil for root uptake

    Nutrient Ratios Information

    This from ProMix website However if a silicon fertilizer is used, research shows that potassium silicate or calcium silicate can be injected at a constant feed rate of 50 ppm silicon or once per week at a rate of 100 ppm. Do not exceed 200 ppm as it may cause phytotoxicity in some...

    Nutrient Ratios Information

    Found some interesting posts on silicon When eighteen New Jersey soils were collected from across the state and tested using the acetic acid soil extraction method, they exhibited ranges of soil test silicon from 4 to 35 mg/L, with the average soil test silicon level being 14 mg/L. In our...

    Here's what I ended up ordering... 1 x Calcium Nitrate Greenhouse Grade 1 lb. (Yara Calcinit 1 #) = $5.00 1 x Magnesium Nitrate, one pound (magnific1) = $4.50 1 x Potassium Nitrate, 1 lb. *NO USPS shipping allowed* (Krista-K 1#) = $8.50 1 x ICL PeaK MKP, 1 lb. (ICL PeaK MKP, 1 lb.) = $9.00...

    Nutrient Ratios Information

    Yes a small amount of micro goes a long way... those values should work just tossing ideas as to how to nail down micros. My thought is the plant needs a certain amount and beyond that it just stores up the excess nutrient which can make smoking it a bad experience.

    Nutrient Ratios Information

    I would give Mn a little more importance than Zn... you should look at some plant tissue analysis which should give you some insight into what the plant is storing up... usually Mn is higher in ppm than Zn but for some plants Mn = Zn. Now where to find a plant tissue analysis for hemp? Just my...

    I was simply curious as to what values it would return for ppm's for the macros I listed in post #113... just wondering how far off my values are from reality. You are the local hydrobuddy expert so I trust your values more than I would trust my own if I tried to use the program (plus I'm sure...
