In our first run of tutankhamon it had some major taco going on shortly after the 2nd CAT drench. So with this current run since they are cuttings from that plant, would you suggest one around week 4 or so to prevent it? Granted we will be using the new formula so should they keep up with the mag demand or would a super drench be beneficial?

Both GE and Transplant have added magnesium. In the case of GE, it's mag nitrate. 7:1 cal/mag We had to also add just a tad of dextrose and phosphoric acid. It's quite stable and will store for years.

Transplant has Magnesium sulfate also 7:1 .....had to also add calcium nitrate and phosphoric acid and was able to get the Chilean Nitrate back in too. It's also stable but will store for a year. Preferably used up each season. Refrigerated it will keep a long, long time.

There's very little water in these products....they weigh over 11 pounds per gallon. Shake them up really well.

Because there's Mg in both products, levels are already up compared to before. A good strong drench of GE, in addition to Transplant at time of transplanting.....pretty good for all but the total hogs. At that point, A SuperDrench is in order. Also, don't forget that WayAhead also has a good amount of Mg.

Our problems are solved on the Frankenstrains now. The strains that totally groove with the soil might benefit from lighter drenches or even the old formulas, but I think the new stuff is going to be better all around. At least that's how it's working out on the following strains:

Gorilla Glue
Paki
Grape Ape,
Sour Grape
Skywalker
Chocolope/Blue Dream
Sugar Cookies
Cookies and Cream
Tangerine

The landrace Colombian isn't quite as happy as before, but I also force fed it to look for toxicity. I think with normal feeding it will be fine too.

I figure we'll be tweaking this stuff for another 3 years or so....improving each time we do it.

As of right now, with the new formulas I think we've got the most performance we can get from manufactured soil.....which is pretty damn good! The only way to improve is to find a naturally occurring, mineralized high brix soil in the wild, with perfect weather for cannabis.
