Grow Mediums KINDSOIL COMMUNE

[Ripper]

Flushing with distilled would be expensive so my only other option would be to use an organic flushing agent, herculean harvest, to lock up the salts and any possible acid and neutralize it and level out everything to 6.4 almost no ppm value to it what so ever and I get the added value of 10 phosphorous which the cheese xxl seems to be experiencing P Def. So this is a possibility. But I thought 300ppm and below was pretty average and safe, maybe it's something in the water even after letting it sit out?

That is what it has to be.. Flush it if you can and then watch it take off

Your documentation is excellent. I couldn't judge because I had males, then shit plants. But, from what I'm seeing, results are all over the place. I have more and will try again, but I'm not at all impressed with what I've seen so far. I'm thinking a different approach is needed for autos, and a better solution to the ph controversy. I don't used typical canna nutes for just this reason, I'm not about to be locked into a single product/product line. If only one source of PH up/down works with this product, then, IMO, it needs work to be made more grower friendly and use more common sources effectively. I use whatever I have available in my organic grows, with NEVER a ph issue and good plant growth. Does this plant look like it has PH issues? Used General Hydroponics PH Down ( yep, phosphoric acid ) through the entire grow. Something needs adjusting in Kind Soil, IMO!! Without a doubt, they have the right ingredients for a great admix, but need to tweak it to be more grower friendly.

100% agree and you are solely the reason I tried it! Followed the whole grow and was astounded! I apologize if I came of offensive in any way as that was not my intentions by any means, just pretty frustrated when I wrote everything and wanted to put it all out on the table with my personal opinion, but I shouldn't have worded that that way as everyone has been great about documenting their stuff and I shouldn't speak for others like that when there's enough grows, opinions and information for one to decide if they want to use this product or not. Once again sorry for being kind of defensive and pushy with my opinion @Ripper . I'll continue to watch your grows and maybe come back to this one day or maybe try mephisto add water only, but for now I need to stick with what works for me and unfortunately that's out of a bottle...lol thanks again for all the support and for trying to help. I will continue to stay on top of things and use only distilled water. I have no stretch left, I missed that and am in fill out mode so hopefully I can find some redemption and get some big old donkey dicks out of these yet! I'll post up pics around harvest time for final results, but I'll be here watching how everyone else gets on!

If you have to "flush" an organic grow, something is VERY wrong! Better off throwing out the plant and starting over!
And I'd be one, unhappy camper, if an organic product I used was the root of the problem!

I never had any problems but I started it with distilled water and never tried anything fancy..

If your water is hard then it can cause problems

Whoa...... I missed this. Are you saying tap water with 300pmms of content??? That WAY over normal, average is 100-150ppms with city water and 100-175 in well/stream water. I wouldn't use 300 ppm water without filtering at least!

Yes sir that was my point

 

[pop22]

for sure, and there's no fixing a plant already damaged by it, been there, done that, for 6 months, till I found the problem.......... my tap water!

[Ripper]

I think that the ones have problems all have high ppm tap.. I am sure of it.

I also have very high ppm tap plus I ordered these test strips to find that my tap also contains chloramines which can not be bubbled out. That's why I went for Poland Spring Water which has a pretty consistent ppm of 20 and pH of 6.5. I could be wrong but I don't think Kind Soil is suggesting you can only pH your water with Earth Juice Crystals. I think it's just a recommendation to keep everything organic and that seems to be a leading pH product that is organic using citric acid which doesn't hurt living organics.
