This original thread is awesome!!! Great job on being detailed, sharing your findings and information with us, you helped me learn a ton!!!
After reading this post, yes the entire thing...lol, I based my first grow on many of the findings that you used with this nutrient trial. I already was aware of the awesomeness of EarthJuice because a good friend of mine uses it and produces some of the best tasting nugs I have had on a consistent basis...So after reading this, I was sold... I bought the whole earthjuice line (Grow, Micro, Bloom, Catalyst, and MetaK) as well as added Superthrive, Hygrowzyme and Botanicare Cal/Mag to my nutrient regiment. Unfortunately for this grow, I was unable to get the Greenfuze Bloom Stimulator however it will be added to my next grow!!!
For everyone who may have questions on using earth juice, you can take a look at my grow journal for some examples of amounts to use. I am on my first grow and have researched a lot, as well as have a very good friend to ask advice from, so I believe I am on the right track...so far my Scrogg'ed plants look very healthy...Can't wait to see how my first grow goes with earthjuice!!!
Oh yeah..the guy with the great tasting nugs said, even though I am growing soil...use the Recalculation Chart on the bottles....It seems like a lot of nutrients adding 45ml per gallon of grow, but these are organics and I have yet to burn my plants....what I have found is do not PH UP your mixes...it will lead to a high soil PH eventually or if you do, do not use a chemical ph up, you will kill your essential soil microbeasties......Just let your soil do the work...and I always bubble my mixes at least 24 hours... I also have other organic additives I throw in the mix and usually my ppm at late veg/early flower was sitting around 1000ppm. Even though after bubbling my EJ mix for 24 hours, the ph still usually sits at 5.1 range sometimes a little higher. If I do add a PH up, I use baking soda and very little amount, and typically this is only when my mix sits lower in the 4ph range, because of other experimental fruit extracts I have been using in my mix....
Very awesome thread!!!! Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
