Nice! I am sure your plants will love it.

As of now, I am constantly brewing a tea and the lone AC/DC i am running only receives teas. I do not water to run off, I just keep the soil moist. No ill effects to the new rich diet. I also throw dry amendments in the teas for mild nutrition.

I do not think there is a strict formula and I bet an occasional boost is all that is really needed.

I vaguely remember somebody saying something about every couple weeks. Something happens if you do it every water. My head is big. You'd think it would hold more. Now that i'm a pot smoker you'd think it's worse but now I just don't care... lol

Probably drop in pH i think, due to molasses?

 

[Pat Puffer]

After a quick read...

Adding too much can waterlog the soil and the boom of microbes combined with saturated soil can create an anaerobic environment leading to bad things. (Paraphrased)

I only water when the pot is light and only add water/tea until it's dreadfully heavy. No run off. This leads to about 1-2 watering(s) weekly. This may change as she grows.

When she stops looking like she is dancing and reaching for the lights, I will switch it up. I am keeping a close eye her leaves.

My East Bay Brother I love that you chase down the truth. I will admit , it's ether over my head or I'm stoned. You make it english for me. Why do you not water to run off?

?????

 

[Pat Puffer]

-I don't want to deal with the mess.

-No tray big enough to catch the over flow.

-about 32 oz. of tea and done.

-I do just enough and not go overboard

-I'm lazy

-She loves whatever is happening

 

[Plant Dad]

?????

oh.. I don't think you need to. Just my take. Soil is already buffering the PH

 

[Pat Puffer]

I had a weird notion pH was affected. I was wrong. Anaerobic activity is the bad news if used too often.

Does FFOF come with soil microbes or did you add ?

 

[Plant Dad]

It comes in hot. I've heard this before but up potted up last grow so it wasn't too hot for 2 weeks old. I would never go straight in to a pot of FFOF again. It took plants through six week veg on last grow. Good stuff!!!

 

[Timhomegrow]

Last grow with my autos, germinated in peat pods went straight into FFOF. Same with this grow and they were fine. I didn't add any nutes until week 5 I think, probably could have gone longer

If i use FFOF for clones i have to mix with weaker soil or they get real mad. my first auto run i was in FFOF and did same as you peat pellet straight to fabric 5 gal pot and just water seemed good. I had more problems trying to figure out nuts in flower/ week 5 roughly , i went 1/8 strength and still fought plant burn. I'm bad for "too much" nuts, bad habits from my racing days, usually smoke blunt first to slow myself down. I need to figure transition to flowering then i'll be locked in with the autos.

I really like the coco pellets over the peat now, seems less moisture problems in germ but you got to keep eye on them with clones, they dry out fast.

Snow storm today for me.

I read you bought trim tray, is the one that filters crystal through screen into bottom tray. you can get a little hand twist press (think they call it pollen press) and make some nice hash pucks with that crystal, i've even rosin pressed the crystal.

@gogglegenie is so far ahead it's not even a contest at this point. Some how I feel like I'm a winner with the numbers I have gotten. I'm loving the experiment...

Yes.. I love the trim bins. Way over priced tho. Cheaper than I could make it for. Great pollen catcher and comfortable for putting in lap or just using on table. I bought one and after seeing it and using I bought another.

This is good for small amounts of pollen? I put on my amazon Q.

It's been 17 Days of growth. I'm finding that watering will be fun. All of my pots will have different needs for watering. This is just what I need. I will get more hands on. I watered coco yesterday and put some 4-4-4 with some worm castings for a top dressing. Edith is starting to produce normal looking leaves.

Edith is in 5 gallon pot medium is FFOF

June is in 3 gallon pot medium is FFOF

Betty is in 5 gallon pot medium is Coco

Norma is in 3 gallon pot medium is Coco
