This is a re post of an article in Urban Grower issue #10, but this is how I run my system but for a few tweaks here & there. I have come back from root rot to harvest high yeilds & once you dial your system in, IMO there is no easier, low maintenace, high yeild way of growing Hydroponically or soil for that matter.

HI guys! Long time reader first time poster, so go easy Well finished building a pretty awesome room, clones are cloned and currently standing tall, hopefully see some root formations shortly ,currently in rockwool, but will transplant to coco when rooting occurs. Decided with Dutchmaster Gold one for nutrient. I also picked up some Proganics PK 13-14 over at bunnings, although I read somewhere you generally shouldn't use the pk 13-14 (the canna one), has anyone had any success with using pk 13-14 in bloom with dutchmaster gold one? Also what other additives have you used with Dutchmaster one gold in coco ? Potash? Is there any purpose in using anything else, like the …

Hi All, Plants seem very healthy apart from a few random leaves with severe yellow spots. Im using coco/perlite/clayball media, ro water mixed to 1.6 EC with H&G A+B, Roots exellurator, Algen extract, Fulvic acid, Drip Clean. Plants are around 3 weeks old and are being fed 3 times a day at 1 minute feeds. Im pretty diligent on getting my ph down to 5.5 for the first feed but sometimes i miss it and it probably feeds around 6.1 - 6.3. Tested my run off today while flushing and came out straight away at 6.1. Im using RTW by the way, plenty of ventillation and no temperature issues. 600w MH on top. I ve got no idea what the spots are from. My ph range and EC all s…

Hey all Decided to try potash this time as others keep raving about it. Normally I just use PK 13-14 at week 4 or 5 for a week or so. Do I still add the PK 13-14 if I am using the potash regularly? Thanks to all

Hey im just curious cause ive never reached the flowering stage before. Im not sure of what ferts to use and when. My plant just started giving pre flowering signs and since shes a winter grow shes going to go straight into flowering. Point being my mate told me after the pistils become more I should start dosing it was with seasol sea weed fert which is high in potassium. Iv'e got guano bat shit which i shall use for phosphorus. Is this all I need. Basically he said to slowly increase the sea weed fert and put some bat shit in the pot and slowly decrease my nitrogen fert. Cheers Syco

I 've checked out Cannaversity and cannot find application rates for Molasses. In the forums of late Scunxxx has advised that he applies one tablespoon/five gallons to his organic hydro grows. someone pointed out Scunxx is american so his ratio equates to 15mils/20litres. this is the rate I have applied to my outdoor soil grow with seemingly excellent results. however I foliar sprayed twice with kelp a week before using molasses at this rate so I can't say exactly that the benefits I observed are entirely due to molasses. contributors to the organic growing forum at www thctalk.com state they use molasses at 5mils/litre every second watering!!! this seems excess…

Everything i have read says that you have to change the nutes/water in your dwc bucket every 10 to 14 days and if during that time keep water level up so it doesnt concentrate in the bucket burning your plant/plants.But i have just read this - It is only necessary to change your nutrient out for two reasons. One, because you are raising the nute levels and PPM s to correspond with your schedule and growth rates. Two, you have topped up the nute solution with equal amounts of water, to amount of nute solution you originally put in. So if you had 2 gallons of nute solution to start with and over whatever time period you replace it accumulatively with two gallons of water…

good morning! outdoor soil grow, mostly organic. sativa. applied too much chook poo at onset of flowering. growth 'siezed up'. subsequently have flushed well. sprayed kelp on foliage. growth began again but is wacko (see pics). checked PH. need to lower PH. understand from research these forums that epsom salts, vinegar and phosphoric acid will do the job. HOWEVER no dilution/application rates seem to be available. can anyone assist? (don't send me to bunnings! have phosphoric acid available.) is REVEREND in the house? saw some of yr old posts on this issue, Rev. Radic, what's the organic viewpoint here? assist pls?
