I am looking into adding a soilless mix of coco peat and soil amendments slow release ferts and the such and mixing that at 15% with my hydroton (leca) and using that in my ebb and flow. I have tried a higher ratio of cocopeat to hydroton with relative success and i am confident to do this...

I left my ebb and flow several times for more than 2 weeks longest was 18 days and the system never failed. In my decades of growing i rarely had to replace submersible pumps or timers. I could have set a second pump and timer as a second source for backup but being so rare i took the risk.

GM it turned out that hydro and soil are not that different after all. In fact next run i will be adding more soil into my hydro ebb and flow system. Once you feed bacteria in hydro and stop running sterile systems then it becomes very similar.

It is strain dependent like most things. This strain looks short with tight internodes so i would wait more on it.

IT would help to give them light when its dark to trigger revegging. Also use vegging nutes high N ratio.

It can be done i had to do it once to preserve the genetics. I only left a few lower branches and sone lower buds and after a long wait shoots started popping out of the bud sites and i took those as clones. If you can purchase seeds it would be much faster though. Revegging then cloning takes a...

My only issue today is keeping the buds from falling lol you know you re doing it right when you spend hours trellising buds.

Yes i can see the value of this product but is too steep of a price if you know what you are doing and you need to use a big quantity. Microbes are already in soil you only have to feed them. I used jadam microbes a couple of times but noticed that in my hydro system i am not needing to...

Wow jan you gave me a sick idea. When my kids are old enough to dump their trampoline they can use it to grow on it :D

I figured i will get the 250ml anyway so i am fine it is a gel... it turned out to be guaranteed viable for 2 years so 1 pint is huge.

I found this 1pint clonex "rooting compound" in the descriptiin it says "liquid"...

L LOl yeah i understand and i had been doing the same for decades until a year ago when i learned the benefits of all these additives. Plants love different sources of different things in little amounts. Besides i am in hydro so i have to supplement everything. BM was saying that he would like...

BM try using beneficial additives. Amino acids of various types vitamins molasses kelp humic fulvic acids and silica to name some. I add a dozen additives aside from the base nutes and the plants love it.
