Solo Cup to 1 gal Air Pot

Bill284 Method

Northern Lights 4/28

@Herbies Seeds



​

Cover root ball with fresh perlite




​

Keep layering soil perlite
Bokashi Frass & @DYNOMYCO



​

Fill the top with perlite



​

The perlite will let water drain
down the outside edge for proper root growth



​

Center mound forces water to the outside edge



​

Cover with perlite



​

Thin layer of dirt on top holds everything in place



​

Don't be afraid to reform your mound and moat
around the outside edge
When you water at first it may shift



​

Do I use this method with the Coco, same layers ect as I've got Coco premix, I started a new thread about Coco first time grow, I appreciate you help to you are the first to help me with this stuff cheers Bill

Hey Bill

Have you ever considered pre-pH-ing the water, before any nutes?
So if I know my final mix will be made up of xyz then a known quantity of phd, I can add that first
The idea is that adding concentrated Phosphoric to a mix binds some of the nutrients
So it's like using rain/river water to begin with because the water is already softer
Can you see reason in that?

Morning Roy
It's always my last step, set ph .
Never pre ph'd but I see your logic.
And it doesn't work if the nutrients are in first?

I was reading something recently that said Phosphoric acid can react with Ca, Fe & Zn
So adding it first should be better in theory, because until it dissolves, it is corrosive
Probbly stoner thinking

If I had my shite tight I could probably do it.
My mixture effects the ph.
It's different each time.
I'd have to know the ph of each mixture ahead of time.
I'm just not that organized.
Thanks

Ah ok - my mix is pretty stable 5.8-6.0, only needs further adjusting on the rare occasions I add Potassium Silicate

Do you give the potassium silicate time to bond before adding nutrients?
A couple hours?

I don't often use it, but yeah, I leave it in a bucket overnight then bring the pH down before adding nutes
