Good morning emilya, I figured this would be a question for the expert. I’m using distilled water and when I feed General Organics calmag+ At the lowest recommended dosage 1tsp the ppms are around 300. Do you think that is to much cal mag?

Definitely taking notes thanks

Thanks, the information you give is very helpful I appreciate it. Would I be able to water with let’s say 5.5 to get the runoff ppm to not jump up so high? Or do I have to water in the 6.2-6.8 range? I know I read somewhere that anything below 5.5 is considered acid rain/water and is harmful to...

Is a ppm meter useless with organic nutrients like General Organics calmag? Or does it only apply to soil?. I tried searching for the question but can’t find an answer. When I add calmag to my distilled water it reads 400ppm but then again it could be useless readings......I hope. Thanks! That...

There’s also a lot of ppl who got there natures living soil amendment and are having to cook it a lot longer and amend it with a couple other ingredients since the batches from 2018-2019 ar how often can I introduce new microbes to the soil from using teas?

Ok that’s good to know! I’m just going to feed water and the microbe tea that the local grow shop brews along with malasses added to it once a week. I’ll just watch the plants and feed based upon there needs. Or set up a day to feed just the liquid bat guano. The nutrient solution I been adding...

And the spotting is only on the parts closet to the light

This would be a long post if I start from the beginning so I’ll just say I started off with a ruff start possibly killing the micro life with ph down hydroponics and that may be the cause of my plants going hungry after the first month from lack of “workers”. So I switched to citric acid and...

Or correct me if I’m wrong but do the nutrients that the microbes brake down show any number at all? Evan if it’s not the correct number as salts . Fox farm showed up on the slurry at 1400-1500ppm right out the bag. It could be that the microbes only feed the plant what it needs so the numbers...

But I think I get it now. Ppm meters are useless and don’t show anything using a meter since there’s no salts. Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions

The nature living soil was supposed to be a “water only” but once flower hit they started dying and organic bottled nutrients saved there life. I only water to about 10% runoff but the pot sucks it back up. I was just asking if a ppm meter can pick up dissolved solids in the runoff of soil. I...

I know that organic living soil with manure runoff ppm can’t be tested with accuracy but can it be tested to give me a “hint” when it needs a top dressing? Should the runoff be high or low? Right now my soils runoff is coming out at 300ppm I’m wondering if that’s to low for Organic soil. Thanks...

I’ve been following emilya watering techniques, I’ve been watering from the edges of the pot to the middle, the root training is working you can see the roots air pruning the edges. I believe I have a lockout, the ph soil ph is high
