But as some growers said here, you cannot know which elements the plant is consuming more only with runoff. That’s why is important to both monitor and understand plant health and keep things on track.. I don’t follow a schedule, i feed based on how I feel about a plant, but runoff gives me a...

i think is something pretty simple to understand without going too deep into science: If you get a 500 ppms solution into a substrate that has salt buildup in it, some of these salts will be found in excess in the runoff, getting it above 500 ppms. if the plants drinks more nutes than water, the...

For real i can’t get a reason for you saying that, unless you grow in soil and think everyone does that

Saying first that everyone grows in a different way and what matters for one can be not useful for one other.. you can grow for sure without monitoring runoff, but it depends on the style of the cultivation. Growing in drain to waste coco, I can’t imagine how I could dial in nutrients for...

Why do you say that? In my experience monitoring runoff in coco has always been necessary to rapidly understand how to feed the plant. What is wrong with that if using salt based nutes? I’m not monitoring runoff ph, just ec Please expose your reasons to say that and we may have some interesting...

I use flora 3 part too. Very easy but the ratios are a bit off IMHO, I prefer to use 1-3 part micro, 6 parts bloom and 9 parts grow during veg, if adding cal mag that will most likely have a content of nitrogen. (Now I use 5 parts of a bottled nute containing 9% calcium and 9% nitrogen nitrate...

Actually when growing with salt based nutes, monitoring runoff can make feeding super accurate and is really important if you know how to dial things in the right way. Why do hydro growers check their reservoir daily?

For sure is better to have lower runoff that higher comparing to the input. If she doesn’t show deficiencies in one or two weeks you won’t need to change anything, just keep the feeding schedule on track.. can you tell us something about how you feed her?

She surely looks fine, but if the medium was not buffered properly sure as hell she’s going to get deficient as the solution will always be stripped of the calcium by the coco

Did you buffer the coco? When such values are showing, i’ll guess the medium is locking up the calcium, has to do with cation exchange sites, and so the mineral comes not available as the coco bonds to it. if that’s the case, i’ll suggest to check how to buffer coco coir or give the plant a...

I guess you won’t know until she gets 3-4 weeks old, remember to check the sex as soon as she shows pre flowers, usually stress and training make this process faster

You check runoff if you grow in a well areated medium with readily available nutrients, synthetics and hydro, not when growing organics

Wait. :roll: It depends on your cultivation method. With soil you can’t check runoff, but with coco it is super important as u get your information way before the plant starts showing anything.

They are actually SUPPOSED to penetrate the pot but only if they are healthy enough. healthy roots are white and thick and have no problem going through the pot. The purpose of these fabric pot is to AIR PRUNE the tip of the roots, so that doesn't start circling around but instead it branches...

HI GUYS, i wanted to share with you this amazing thing i just discovered: i was searching online for cocktails to prepare with what i had AT HOME, i bumped into a preparation that was including just Gin, Prosecco wine ( Italian name for a "pre meal" white wine that does lots of bubbles, i think...

Buds are not big but very very dense, although very leafy so it will take forever to manicure. i'll try to get the slowest drying process as possible, i am planning to let her dry in the pot directly without chopping, before trimming and putting into jar, temps around 65 F, RH 50%.

mid of week 7. Terpenes really starting to define into some pretty rare, sweet and fruity but very spicy smell,with a bit of pine in it. I am almost flushing with 100 ppms solution with chelated Mg and S, and a lil bit of K, almost zero P, zero N. i am expecting her to fade and be ready in one...

if only the one with the fan pointed directly is curling, you might have known the issue!

daaaaamn that's a big tent, you need enough photosynthetically active photons to provide at least 500 to 1000 umol/s in every area for flowering, 300 to 600 for veg, without getting too deep with spectrum ecc. You may need more lamps to provide a more uniform footprint. Usually lamps producers...
