OMM's Social Network Part 3

My understanding is that "controlled release" fertilizers work based on moisture and temperatures in the soil. They are coated with a moisture sensitive membrane, which releases the nutrient when the temperature is within a specific range.

From a "greenhouse" related magazine: "Once the CRF prill has absorbed water, soil temperature determines the release rate of nutrients. Depending on the product, the ideal release temperature (i.e., the temperature used to predict the duration of the fertilizer release) can vary from 70°F to 78°F (21°C to 25°C). For example, one type of CRF has an ideal release temperature of 70°F. For a fertilizer with a six-month release rate, 90 to 95 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer contained in the prills will be released over six months if the temperature of the medium is maintained at an average of 70°F."

"...Slow-release fertilizers (SRF)s differ from controlled-release fertilizers in one important way. The release of nutrients from slow-release fertilizers are dependent on multiple factors, not just a single factor like media temperature. Therefore, the nutrient release from SRFs is less predictable than from controlled-release fertilizers."

That's great info, Bro! :welldone:

Just to add to it...My understanding is that the release rate for all CR fert's is based on a 70*F ambient temperature and for every 16*F increase, the release rate doubles. This means, if your ambient temp goes from 70*F to 86*F, the six-month release rate is reduced to 3 months. In other words, if it's warmer than 70*F, you'll need to re-fert sooner.
 
Hello Everyone. :thumb:

Just so you know, the birth control glasses did not work. At all!

I will not be around tonight, feeling kind of poorly. Last night was not a good night for me. Going to take it easy tonight.

I bought and was going to use Blue Planet Nutes for this grow, but as someone pointed out I have had good luck with OC+, so I'm not going to change something that I have had very good results with. I don't know if you can even find the + anymore, just OC. When it first came on the market I bought enough for years. It's been good to me.

All the girls are doing fine.....allot of short fat fannies sticking up.

See ya soon. OMM

Sorry to hear you're not feeling good, it seems to be a trend lately. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I have never had issues with BPN but am interested in trying OC in at least one grow just to compare since you have done so well with it.
 
Hi OMM -

One of the biggest lessons I've learned with growing and physical limitations, is that sometimes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies more often than it used to when I was healthier.
I've had to learn to be okay with keeping things simple and manageable, and have deferred projects that used to seem much more important. Man, I really wanted to build a smokin' new DIY hydro system based on some ideas I've had for a while. Bought and saved up most of the supplies, stacked them up near the grow room. But, I hurt a lot these days, and simple little things are really hard now. You know what? I love that Flo N Grow I've been using, and it's simple to use, and producing nice meds for me already. What else do I need anyway? Besides, I can still tweak it and look to get better results with it. i guess I'm saying... Brother, I understand where you are coming from.

I want to see you feeling better first, but I also want to see you continue to enjoy growing once you do. I love BPN nutrients, they work great for me... but if you have a path to success in place already that allows you to keep it manageable, and you already know how to get the good results from it (as you have!) that's what you should do, ya know?

I hope you start feeling better. It's been so nice seeing you back in the saddle a bit, even if you have to take the break after this one. :thumb:

Love ya buddy! :circle-of-love:
 
ditto man hope you feel better soon
maybe ill stop by sunday or sometime next week

Hi All! :Namaste:

Do not read if you are queeze. Don't think I spelled that right

Well, my decision to not be on last night was good one. What a night! Retched it was. My bathroom is a mess. As you know I go #2 in a bag. So as you would expect I was going #2 and throwing up at the same time. My bath room is one big mess. So am I. I did sleep an hour or so, then Jo woke me to take her the dentist, she is having surgery today, a wisdom tooth removal.

When I dropped her off, I was thinking "At last I can lay down". Not so, when I got home the yard people were doing the yard. No sleep yet. What can you do but laugh?

I may be on tonight, but I think the odds are against it. I'm going lay down until Jo calls.
Have a better day than me. OMM :peace:
 
We'll leave the light on for you OMM.....................maybe the yard people know something about your disappearing plants?

Take a break OMM, get some rest. You don't owe us anything.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.
 
Holy Shit! :cheesygrinsmiley: Hey you said ya gotta laugh...

seriously hope you get some rest...but... no rest for the wicked!
 
Yikes, that sounds miserable... I sure hope you are getting some rest. Take as much time as you need, as others have mentioned - we'll be here when you feel better.

:cheertwo:

After reading OMM's post then reading this, I just had to laugh, sorry OMM but thinking to myself, that was exactly what I was thinking. And what everyone else has said, get better soon friend.
