hey apologies I thought of a couple questions reading through your post again. With your soil mixture do you add any additional organic nutrients in veg or flower? You mentioned adding oyster shells to your flowering pots, do you put any in the veg container? Is your soil mixture similar for...

thank you! This is really helpful.

hey thanks man. Can you recommend a good soil probe? I’ve looked at blue lab, but the reviews I read varied a lot so I didn’t pull the trigger. also with the oyster shells, how much would I add per gallon of soil/perlite?

yeah you are right. I like the idea of using the ewc tea, then going with only EJs Grow, Bloom, and cal/mag for a few more weeks switching to only bloom and a little cal/mag for the last 3 to 4 weeks. I’ll try removing the k first before I think about adding it back.

thank you! What other organic nutrients would you recommend? And yeah EJs grow smells really bad.

hey you said to stop using ph for a while. Is there a range when I should? For example reading below 5.0 use up, or over 7.5 use down? When I bubble for a day or two I’ll sometimes see the ph around 8. Should I ph down in the instances?

hey thanks for the tips here. I’m definitely going to try your tea. I do actually sprinkle a teaspoon or two of mycorrhiza on the root ball and hole when transplanting from 2gal in veg to 5gal in flower. It was about 2 to 2.5 weeks after transplanting in flower when I started to see issues. The...

thanks for all the help. I’m going to make a tea today and try adding a little more meta-k when they’re ready a few days after the tea/ewc. I’ll follow up to share if it worked.

thanks I’ll check tonight.

yeah that seems like a lot of water. For the fix here, do you recommend flushing or just try using castings and lowering the amount of EJ I’m using?

Thanks for forwarding I’ll give it a read here shortly.

Haha not including your friends compost, what’s your organic soil formula? I tried two grows with amended soil and they didn’t go every well so I thought using earth juice would be close and easier. The pic looks nice, i definitely want that end result.

I know I have castings and I think I have bone meal, so this is definitely doable. 10gals per 5 gal containers, 4 containers = 40gals x 5 gals per hour. So it would be 8 hours to get that much RO water. Do you really have to use that much water to flush?

I’m using earth juice ph up crystals and microbe life ph down if needed. Unless I’m busy and didn’t plan to bubble a mixture, i don’t use very much of either. The soil should adjust for ph and the earth juice website says they give their plants the mixture at around 3.6 but i can’t bring myself...

thank you. I have the worm castings so I’m going to brew a tea with some molasses. Would you recommend trying this after flushing or skip the flush?

thanks @myke that makes sense to me.

well thanks for the help. I’ll try adding a little more k and cal/mag during my next feeding and hope for the best.

hey yeah the bottoms are green, i do trim a lot of the bottom before the flip though.

hey i haven’t tried that. I don’t use the meta-k during most of veg but I do start to add it a few weeks before the flip without issues. I use the xatalyst during the whole grow, but in slightly lower amounts in the beginning.

Hey @JustBlazin those nutrient amounts are total in 4 gals of RO water. So i'm putting in less than a teaspoon or around 3 to 4mg of call/mag per gallon.
