In regards to those chunks, take 1ml of bloom or grow and see how much it raises the ppm of a gallon of water. I'm pretty sure the grow and bloom should contribute about 120-130 ppm to a gallon of water on the .7 scale or around 95 ppm on the .5 scale. My bottles of bloom in the past are in the 90ppm range (.7 scale) so quite a bit dropped out yet I have seen no issues from this. Recently I picked up a bottle of bloom with no chunks and I was up around 125 ppm for one ml. I test each bottle before I use it so there are no surprises when I'm mixing a res.
It's hard to find in stores, but I do have a good website that sells it for a good price and reasonable shipping for the future. I have heard a bit about the H&G lately so it's also a curiosity. Since I do have both Dyna and Canna, perhaps it will fall on me to do the head to head. I'll just have to make sure I have all my variables scientifically sorted out like you do HB... Good luck and just glad you are putting out some new info no matter what it is...
I have not used it before. What medium are you talking about?
Im using pro mix
At the most, 1 tsp/gallon would be plenty for a mature plant. Roughly half that for veg.
There still young prob 4-6 weeks old and I was doing 1/4 tsp gallon and they were yellowing so I went to 1tsp gallon and they are thriving! Wasn't sure if I should do 1tsp every time I feed an feed 2 a week on a feed feed water type of schedule like I do with gro? Anyways thanks hb
You just gotta play with it a little and do what works best. Now that you know the dosage that your plants like, experiment with the watering schedule. Start with feed, water, feed and if that's not enough then maybe a feed, feed, water schedule is something to try after. Lets say you've dialed-in a watering/feeding schedule your plants like but you're seeing signs of salt buildup in the medium. Maybe that's a sign to cut back to 4mls a gallon. Trial and error my friend.
Ok what are signs to look for with salt build up?
Necrotic spots on leaves, leaf drop, and yellowing on the lower leaves.
It's just that strain. All other plants in that room 28, do just fine. This strain is Da Purps and it just seems to do that. Kinda weird.
I think the nitrogen demands of our plants in dirt is greater than it is in hydro in regards to NPK values/ratios. Let us know how the combination works.
