How is it going my fellow hippy growers? I am about to make the plunge into the world of organic DWC for the first time. I have Earth Juice Grow and Bloom, Earth Juice Fulvic Acid, Humic Acid, Fox Farm Liquid Bloom and Maxicrop Kelp Meal 1-0-2, and some Epsom salt. I ground the kelp meal into a powder. Lastly, Hydroguard by Botanicare to take care of my inoculation needs.
I think this mix will allow me to cover the complete range of my plants needs. If anyone has any thoughts, or experiences, I would appreciate it. The kelp powder and Epsom will be my micro-nutrients and secondary nutes.
The thing that has me still thinking, is the PH levels. I hate those PH pens, they fluctuate too much for me to trust them. I use the chemical drops to test my PH, but I think the mix will be too dark. I am thinking about not checking it, if I can not see the color change. I know organics with lots of chelates are always available for uptake. I might just add a bit of citric acid each time, and let it go.
