ok some questions for the audience on a couple of things. will my tea solution i am using cause problems that i think are now corrected in my soil. The pure blend tea i use is botanicare, along with the thrive b1 solution and the cal-mag that also has a small amount of nitrogen. My fresh worm casting, come from the full circle compost place that is about 35 miles away. I just know that i have been doing that now for like 3 weeks, since that first day of flowering and the N2 that gets added from the bottles is low, i imagine that i am getting more from the worm castings.
Also I have done a ton of reading on using CO2 and comments and info are all over the place so i think its one of those things that as you do it and track what is happening you will get a better feel going forward, but now that i am into flowering pretty good, i wonder if i should shut it down completely or use just enough to maintain 5-600 ppm during the light time?? or keep it where it is now which is lower than it was the 1st 3 weeks of 1000-1600. i am running now at about 550-900. I have read so much conflicting information that i just don't want to end up messing what is turning into a real nice 1st indoor grow. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Ok cryodude, I don't feel very comfortable giving u any "advice" looking at what u have going. I'm 31 and u have been growing longer than I've been alive.
But I read a lot. And I grow in a living supersoil and use teas. It seems u have an excellent soil mix that has been nicely cooked before use. Not too sure about botanicare in a tea, counterproductive? Soil PH isn't something u should ever have to bother monitoring.
I missed that ur running your soft water through an RO filter? Living soil grows don't like salts at all. There shouldn't need to be any PHing of water either it doesn't seem. And when u had to flush your containers I could picture loads minerals being washed out.
But then I look at your plants, which look freaking amazing!
So idk.
I'm subbed to follow and maybe someday ill have to bother you for some pro build tips!
