Happy St. Patrick's day but I don't own any green clothing...doesn't go with my skin tones! I
do have things growing that are green though so I hope that will suffice:
They were a little droopy this morning so I fed them the equivalent of 3.5g/gallon of MC (except the Candida: wasn't dry, and the TCK2: GeoFlora). Why "the equivalent"? Because I am changing up the nutrients now to see if I can follow
@Mr. Sauga's nute schedule.
[Note: you can ignore all of this if diving into the weeds of feeds isn't something of interest.]
MrS has found that a 5-1-5 seems to work well, along with a 4
1 K:Ca:Mg ratio and added silica up to 50ppm. It's not easy to do, but it's easier with the hydrobuddy software and a few different nutrient bottles. I won a three-part set of Blue Planet nutes and have a new bottle of TPS cal-mag that's 0-0-0, so I put what I have into the hydrobuddy software and it spit out roughly the following for a gallon:
MC: 2g
Blue Planet Micro: 3g
TPS cal-mag: 1g
Stout Si: 9g (for 30ppm at this point)
Yes, even the liquids are in grams since that's how hydrobuddy works.
That gets me to the equivalent of 3.5g of MC in terms of nitrogen, which is still the jumping-off point for deciding when to up the nutes.
Yes, I am back to 4 nutes now (from one) but I'll see if I can keep my plants as green as MrS keeps his. Or closer to it anyway.
I do have to allow more time in the morning now.
And regarding hydrobuddy, it's not an easy program to figure out, and I never would have gotten it without MrS walking me through it over and over.
Having shoulder blade issues today so I have to go back to Van's thread where
@Heavenly Hybrid did a few great posts on shoulder pain.
Here's one with a diagram! Last time this happened it was a dislocated rib, though it took me trips to four different people to get that diagnosed and fixed. Unfortunately, that chiropractor moved to the Valley so I'll have to find a new one or schlep up there.
I hope all is well with you, and no one punches you if you're not wearing green!
