Potash question

[aussie1]

PK 13 -14?

 

Hey all

I normally use an A + B flower nute, Nefarious, Power Gro, Canna etc, then add PK 13-14 at week

4 for 7 days.

Next time I want to try potash. This goes in every nute tank, is this right?

Do I still use PK 13-14 at week 4.

 

Appreciate your advice

PK 13-14 is potash. So if you use another brand, don't use the canna.

 

Heavyweight is a good one, PK 13-15 and half the price of the import.

[loylty gets u nothing]

ive always used potash as an additive for flower

ive tried various brand

heavy weight

xtreme potash

canadian express superior potash is my favourite atm

u can still use it in the canna pk 13 14 week

but ya ec blows the fuck out

so u better off leavin it out for that week

i try and keep the general ec down

strain dependant ofcourse

thats in the summer months anyway

1.8 - 2.0 is sufficient imo

i add the potash before me nutes

all the best

My first grow i was using amsterdam indoors and when i added a cheaper brand of liquid potash i got a weird reaction going on which made this horrid lumpy white stuff in the tank. if i were you i'd check it's ok by mixing a small amount first.

Hey Luke

What is PK 13-15, is it a bit of a knock off of canna's 13-14?

PK 13-15 is a knock off of Canna Pk 13-14

 

Potash is not rocket science, it is phosphorous & potasium. The elements most required by a plant in it's flowering period. Adding potash to your bloom nutrient solution is fine tuning. More potasium equals more flowers.

I've tried Canna which is good but way overpriced. I've tried Heavyweight but my favourite is Pro-PK. It contains Potassium Hydroxide, Mono Potasium Phosphate and Nitric Acid.

 

Use it week 3 - 6 of bloom period. Especially week 4 - 5

 

When using potash, add to clean water first then add your favourite nutrient and then other additives. This stops the potash reacting with the nute solution and creating insoluble compounds that can't be used by the plant.
