Rocky Mountain...High
and I'm adding only CaMg due to LED's, molasses for myco herd and just a touch of Big Bloom as an all purpose...
But mine's not going well.
At day 25 everything was going great...day 30...circling the drain.
I have a few theories on that.
1. I gave them Equilibrium CaMg once. about .3 tsp. for 1600mL of water.
If the Equilibrium has gone bad...it may have been toxic to the plants. It's one
of only a couple x-factors that fit the timeline. I did check and the Equilibrium
does state that it's "natural" but I can't find anywhere where it actually states
that it's organic. So that may be the blunder.
2. I may have over-watered....I usually use Armor Si to strengthen stalks and branches
as well as to increase the tolerance to temperature variance high and low. If the Armor Si
got me used to seeing plants only droop when they are thirsty, then I may have
"misread the tea leaves" but the pots always felt light when I watered them. And subsequent
to the wheels falling off, I have waited extra time to make sure they were dry before
watering again and improvement has not been witnessed.
3. The AMOUNT of water per feed might be the issue. I feel like it has to be at least 600mL
to even get moisture down to the supersoil level to activate it's nutrients...but if I'm getting
it too wet, is it releasing more nutrients than the plant can handle? IDK.
I don't think it's fair to come to any conclusions regarding the efficacy of geeb's mix, but
I do think it may be the case that some of the ways geeb's runs it may be tied to it's
success more closely than has been previously identified.
the plants success up to day 25 seem to indicate that it isn't the Happy Frog or
the nutrients pre-charged in it out of the bag.
Day 25:
Day 29:
Day 32:
The Blue Dream has survived the best but all of them are experiencing very stunted new growth.
They spend about 85-90% of their time in "droopy/limp" status. They all perk up for a couple hours
every now and again but the new growth is barely happening.
IDK, hard to isolate (for me anyway) what happened.
I am going to start another and ONLY give it water up until the point it shows some sort of deficiency
and I'm guessing the first one to exhibit will be calcium.
As to this one....I'll limp them along for another week or so before I start deciding fates.
Who knows....maybe this counts as evidence that nothing is needed beyond water, and I shouldn't
have attempted to monkey with it or "fine-tune" at all....
Better Luck to the rest of you guys!
