I just added this to my journal, but figured it could be worth some discussion to some, so i pasted it here too.
ppm and ec:
so far all i can tell is ec and ppm are linked somehow. my meter seems to show the ec at about 2x the ppm. So i could know what the ec is just by looking at the ppm. seems like something piled on just to confuse new growers lmao.
Additives and boosters:
so the way i'm understanding thees things is that the majority of them are just another version of what i'm already using, and can't understand the value of them.
But some seem to have some weight in my eyes. an example would be Diamond Nectar, using humic acids to optimize nutrient uptake. these are interesting to me. as a newbie i can still understand the value in it and will probably end up adding Diamond Nectar, Liquid Kool Bloom, and Rapid start to my list eventually.
Lighting:
anxious to see how my plants do under these LED lights i have. they didn't cost me a fortune so I worry that they might not be of high quality, and might effect the end results.
But being my first grow how would i REALLY know that poor yields were the results of the lights? lol. If my first grow doesn't go great there would be many things to attribute that too, so i'll still be in the unknown when it comes to my brand of lights. (Phlizon Newest. 1500w and a 1200w)
Hydroponics:
Pretty sure next grow I'll either be doing way less plants in coco again. or the same amount but i'd be building a hydroponics set up for that. The amount of coco / perlite mix i'll need to finish 10 plants in 10 gal bags is gonna be insane lol. and the feeding is gonna get old after a while hand feeding 10 plants 2 times a day. I totally didn't consider that when i started so many.
Left over Nutes:
I changed nute lines because i didn't order FF hydro and was worried that the grow big would hurt the plants. Ordered GH Trio, but not after i ordered a 4L bottle of Big Bloom ( bat shit ) lol. because the recipe calls for like 10x big bloom that the others in the FF trio lol.
now i have and untouched bottle of tiger bloom. pretty much full bottle of grow big, and 4L of big bloom. Just hoping that i could find a place for some of it in my mix now, but it seems that the GH trio has everything the FF trio has and more.
I might try sell the 4L, IDK.
