Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[WildBill]

When someone says "salts" when discussing plant nutrients they are talking about the ionic form of that nutrient, and the ionic, or salt form, is the only one that plants can use. Those ionic salts are identical even under a microscope, there is no way to distinguish one from the other, so it matters little what's in the nutrients. NOW, when you start talking about all the various additives, "bloom boosters", "bud hardeners" etc, then you open a can of worms because the often use PGRs, plant growth regulators, and other hormones, some of which are actually banned....... but they get away with it.

Plenty of organic PGRs out there.

ohh yes.

ohh yes.

@pop22 how long is 1 gal 500ppm MC w/airstone good for? Can I just keep topping off and maintain 450-500 ppm and stabilize ph? I will be top watering approx 2 cups a day.

Took 2 days but I made through all 82 pages. In the beginning of the thread I was getting nervous starting to think I picked the wrong nute to switch to, but now that I reached the end I’m excited to start the learning curve.

I’m at Day 52 and was starting to see some similar light yellowing on the leaves of a couple plants - my 3BOG and 50 Shades of Grape, specifically. I’m in soil/perlite and autopots and running MC at 550-560ish/6.4 pH. Last night, I turned off the reservoir and when the pots dried, bottom fed with Recharge. Huge improvement this morning. Lots of new growth and most of the yellow is green again. Food for thought, for a possible easy fix.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve never used any microbial supplement or soil enhancer. Have went back to basics for now but will look into that for one of the first things to add back

I prefer to use up each batch vs adding to it. Using an airstones, I'd only run it for about 15 minutes before watering by hand. It can raise your PH if you leave it running.

It definitely helped but I’m still seeing some yellowing on a couple plants at Day 54. Not sure if I need to just up the PPM, add some Bud Explosion or do nothing and ride it out. The buds are still growing and chunking up. Every other variable is dialed in, but the 3BOG and SnS are still showing some yellowing. The Sour Stomper and Skywalker are much less affected.

Yes recharge works great for a N boost and mammoth P works great for a P boost. Recharge & Mammoth P are simply made buy focusing on the single or several specific Bio's that effect macronutrient or micronutrient uptake with those products. Now just how they preserve the effective life of those bio's for packaging is what concerns me. The price is simply stupid too.
I was just informed today that you can make your own bio tea that reflects recharge, great white, Mammoth P, etc. by introducing specific micro’s/bio's too. I want to start vericomposting & brewing my own Bio teas. Some longer running plants that begin to exhaust the nutrients in the soil are then feed by nutrient rich bio teas - formulated to cover what's diminishing.

Thing is? The balance between too much P and just right P is a very small line.

Jumped on the train, waiting on 2 part to get here and I plan to switch from advanced nutrients. I've read this whole thread and hoping I have better luck than some of you lol. I feel like I learned a lot already and I haven't asked a single question.

I got this 2 part schedule from another forum but I plan to give it a shot in my next grow.

Honestly, I was sold after I saw this guys post. Don't know which MC he was using but the 2 part wasn't out at the time so it couldn't have been that. He got 490g in 62 days off of a mephisto sour crack which is known to be a small and fast strain.

Here is a schedule I made with the help of Man O Greens schedule i tweaked my own which is right here for ya. It's worked great for me. No defienciencys! I only use the 2 part with recharge and that's it.

Would this schedule be appropriate for dwc?
