Dutch Passion "I'm dreaming of a blueberry Xmas" Kush T's 2nd grow.. DP Auto Blueberry DWC under HG LED

what are the benefits of using r/o vs tap water, if you use r/o water you have to add cal/mag suppliment back so not only do you have the cost of replacing the r/o filters each year but you also have the outlay of buying a cal/mag suppliment, the difference with tap water is it will already contain calcium and loads of other additives like flouride and chlorine etc etc which isnt nessecarily good for the plants but they can handle it its only when tap water has a high background ec that it becomes unusable, most nutrient companies compensate for hard water with their nutrients

also the type of lights you use also determines what water is best for your plants, we both grow using l.e.d lights and the plants use more cal/mag for some reason so by using r/o water with a base of 0 we would have to use a lot more cal/mag suppliment to compensate for the removal

if your using an r/o filter and then adding tap water back it kinda defeats the object of using r/o you might aswell just use tap

im trying to find a nutrient regime thats suitable for growing cannabis under l.e.d lights so trying to hit the right n-p-k values is more important to me than using r/o water

most indoor studies would have been conducted using hps lights as this has been the growing standard for years where as l.e.d is relatively new it would be a case of finding the n-p-k ratios cannabis uses under these lights and making a nutrient for them to excel,could we see results from a 300 watt l.e.d matching that of a 1000watt hps if we had the nutrients tailored to grow under l.e.d lights?

obviously thats not a question i need to ask but its more for the scientists to investigate and see if we can produce the same if not more yield using less energy

interesting questions seymour. Have you ever considered growing with the mono range of nutrients from canna or similar and experimenting with your own NPK ratios?

That is what he's doing with his current grows Big_Buddha... Using the genesis 3 part mush.. He is trying to tailor a.. as close to perfect feed ratio for MJ (under LED) with that nute line up... There will be some trial & error involved I assume.. But his youngsters are looking kickass... As usual

Thanks for looking in dude..

yeah its a pain in the arse, calcium def seems to play the biggest part in my problems but like you said its trial and error hence why ive dropped the canna and gone with the genesis,i suppose you gotta be willing to try new things and compare results , nothing ventured nothing gained and all that

your little ones are looking a lot better now pal you will be catching me up in no time :thumbs:

 

[Kush T]

Catching you up!!.... Soon you won't see me for dust Seymour....

No seriously dude.. Thanks for ALL you help bro.... :head: lol..

Do you think a cal/mg def is gonna rear it's head in your tent this time round SB?? & if so do you have a plan of attack??

Prob a daft question as I'm sure you will have... But as always, I'm interested in your methods dude..

Yeah they are turning a nice darker shade of green since I upped there feed... It's nice to see dark green instead of bright copper... What I must have put my Think Diff's thru.. I dread to think.. But they still gave me some real nice dank...

Gotta love the TD's..

Thanks for looking in Boss.

You caught me spying.. lol..

Gonna have to throw you some more +rep insert... That was a fine haul Bruv... Haven't read thru it all properly yet... Bloody work always gets in the way of my AFN surfin'

Yeah the Tundra looks nice mate... Especially yours..

Nice clear buzz with heavy yields, I way overdried it, I know that those three seeds would have given alot more. they were super easy to grow and loaded with resin!!!

Fine start Kush!! Thanks for the heads up on your thread bro. Earlier this year (winter) I did a ABB DWC grow and it turned out great for me being a complete newbie at the time. Haven't grown in DWC since mainly due to the weather but I'm itching to dust off the gear now that winter is approaching... Subbed up fo sho bro!! :smokebuds:

 

[Groff]

In for the ride too!

Glad to have you along Rob.. :thumbs:

Yeah m8, I noticed you posted on one of SB's recent journals that you were thinking about dusting off the DWC buckets.... Get 'em fired up dude...

I think I'll be laying off during summertime next year.. keeping the res temps down can be a bit of a bitch when it's hot outside... & I'm roughly 55 degrees north!!

Hopefully I'll have enough stash to see me through by then...

Thanks for checking in Bud :smokebuds:
