don't mention it. Know that you are very welcomeThank you, I appreciate that.
it wasn't that they were difficult to use it was the first hydro ferts that I tried. everything didn't always dissolve even with a drill mixer, now granted that was 30 years ago lolThey're handy - flip the top and pour.
It's how we define additives as individuals. I define it as anything that I am adding apart from my base.I agree about adding Si and I also use Hydroguard.
Is Si a "supplement"? If so, then I do use supplements but, in the case of Si, I'm adding a chemical that isn't in the ferts rather than adding more of a chemical that's already in the ferts.
records for me are key, what can I say I like the data and it has proven useful.Here's my feed sheet for this new res:
"Silica Blast" is the product from Botanicare. I still use the name but make my own Si…mix (I actually typed "suppl…") based on the thread that @farside05 put together about running bloom nutes from drop to chop. That thread and postings and advice from @FelipeBlu were instrumental in my changing from bottled ferts to dry ferts.
Sounds like it works well for you and record keeping is generally a good idea.
700ppm was just an example. Take these gg4's they are known to be heavy feeders and well the tips started burning between 700-800 ppm. I attribute that to the consistency of the type of roots in the root zone as fine haired roots allow for more efficient uptake of nutrients so my 700-800 with my root zone could be someone's 1200 with theirs. Along with the Rapid start that aids in that type of development I have custom aerators to make oxygenation of the solution more efficient, I'm aerating below the line of causing nutrients to fall out of solution and that is the key to that. Yes I have made that happen in my endeavors, However I find success through my failures. .What strain crapped out at 700?
