PBP in DWC grow

[Guest]

Well, I've been doing quite a bit of research on Pure Blend Pro, and went ahead and purchased both the grow and bloom formulas. Upon recommendation of the hydro shop guy, I also picked up some Liquid Karma.

Upon further research, I discovered I might need to add CalMag + to the plan, since I use R.O. water exclusively. I also found that you should either use Hydroplex, PBP soil formula, or something else to promote good budding. Addditional PK or some such thing (I ended up going with the Fox Farms Big Bloom).

My system consists of a powerhead in a 4 gallon dubberware container that holds 3 gallons of water at the correct height, just below the net pots.
http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day7_1_-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day7_1_.JPG)
I have a truncheon meter that I used for my last couple of grows, but those grows were with GH 3 part, and from what I understand, the PBP wont read correctly. Or at least the same, as the 3 part GH stuff. I'm still not quite sure what these readings should be. So if someone could throw me a bone there, I would appreciate it.

Also, what formulas are everyone, who is running a DWC, using per gallon? I've read a few e&f guys use it at full strength, with readings well over 2000ppm. I've read of others who use it half strength, and swear that anymore is simply wasted money (Which is what I would like to think, being the cheap bastard I am )
Now I understand that every plant strain is going to take up nutes differently, but certainly there must be a happy medium that could be a base line, and then adjusted to suit each strain.

For me, I'm running 10ml PBP grow (30ml in the res.), 15ml Liquid Karma (45ml in the res.), and 10ml of Cal Mag +. the clone I have going (bubblegum x skunk #1 by WillyJack) is 7 days old today. The three others I had started didn't make it because of me, so I started another 2, and it looks like their going to take off.

As to why I have one lid with one hole, and the other lid has two... I actually have 3 different lids for each container. 1 1 hole, 1 with 2 holes, and 1 with 3 holes, depending on how this strain grows out (This is only my second grow with this strain, and I think I can sneak 3 pots into each res., but am not quite sure)

Any comments or questions are appreciated. Any haters wll be ridiculed for all to enjoy.

I forgot to add its a 400watt MH in a c13, with ambient temps 2-3 degrees below room temp.

[Guest]

I use PBP F&F at 1 oz / gallon of RO water, as well as 5 ml Calm/mag + and additives.

Good Luck.

Big Bloom is a great additive for your flowers...but it is anything but a pk boost. With a n-p-k rating of .01-0.3-0.7 it has little in the way of macro nutrients. I would consider it more of an organic additive. If you want a good pk boost try the hydroplex, Bio Nova pk 13-14, or Monster Bloom. And if you want to stick with Fox Farm, they have just come out with a whole line of pk boosts. There are three in all, but I would go with the Bestie Bloomz...as it has zero nitrogen, which makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps. :)

[Guest]

Hey GB?:

I've just started a similar set-up with PBP. I'm having a hard time keeping ph down. Are you having any similar probs? Are you using a ph buffer?

My water is 7.8 before nutes, and about 7.5 after. If I buffer them to 5.5-6.0 they are back up less than a day later. Also having slime in my tub after 24hrs.

I've been mixing according to the back of the bottle...7ml per gal.

Just wondering if you have any similar events in your adventure. If I discover anything helpful I'll pass it along.

Dan you will find (depending on the size of your Rez tank) the buffer in pbp works very well. It will become much easier when your girls get big enough to recieve the full oz per gallon up till then I have found the balance to be tricky but very very forgiving. I do use the full line in all my runs cal-mag and Liquid Karma are fantastic and have chosen to use the Hydroplex in my current bucket run over at the organic Hydro Section. By chance do you have a power head in your rez mixing the solution? Do you add each nute seperately to the rez or mix all at once in a jug? Sorry if you feel these questions silly but have learned from past errors and will help out any way we can. Right sunny?


Oh and do yourself a favor and add some Hydroguard and put powerhead in the rez to mix the solution will help ya with the slime. I used a 20 gallon rez with my BOB grows and never had a problem.



Mr.Wags

[Guest]

Wags! There you are! I got a thread going in the indoor hydro section and I was hoping you would add your 2cents. Check it out if you have time...I could use your help for sure. You'll get more than enough info to point out my newbe mistakes! If you need more info let me know...

There are two large 10" air stones in the tub. I mix everything in a 5 gal bucket 1st then add it to the bubbler.

I got some Hydroguard, Karma, and CalMag coming.

Let me know what you think when you see the pics I have posted.

For me, I like to ride 1300-1400ppm in full flower in E&F tables and 800-1000 on the seedling veg side.
If your usin all r/o water, you will need the Cal-Mag plus for sure(wonderful stuff).
I start everything at 1/4 recommended on bottle and ramp up to my desired ppm ratio.
If your just flowering in your buckets I would use PBP Bloom, Liquid Karma, Cal-Mag, Sweet, and Hydroplex. You could sub in Overdrive or TopMax for the Hydroplex. Early in flower it's not bad to have a little overlap of the nitro rich regime and then at week two on potash and potassium and the natrual carbo activator deal that sweet does and wapooow!!!! your there right up until week 6 or 7 you could use that and then fall back to strait r/o for 5-7 days. Usually doesn't require a long flush if ya git the levels right throughout the bloom.
What is the unit of measure in a trunchen meter?
More air bubbles, more, like a froth but not foaming. TopMax will foam so don't do it with that.

[sysprog]

I just got some PBP: Grow, bloom & soil bloom, sweet & cal-mag. I also got DiamondNectar, SM-90 (bugs/rot), Hygrozyme (enzymes for roothealth). Should I also grab some Liquid Karma and hydroplex (or topmax or overdrive), I really thought I ordered Liquid Karma but didn't. All are quart size.

I am currently using BC Nutes Technaflora series: Boost, grow, bloom, thrive alive green & red and awesome blossoms. I also add hydroguard to the res. I have had good success and will likely continue with them unless the PBP makes an organic convert outta me!

[Guest]

If memory serves you only need one or the other SM-90 or Hydrogaurd or ones a corrective measure and the other is a treatment.

I'll read a little more

Tex

[Guest]

HYDROGAURD :) You know i love the PBP line TK. I'll be using it again and some TopMax also. The TopMax is the only non-PBP product i use. The rest is their full line of the PBP. You won't go wrong with it.
Take care,
B to the G :)

[sysprog]

I think hydroguard (and hygrozyme) are organic compatible (bacteria safe) and SM-90 is not. So I was planning to use it in my non-organic grow, particularly my pest infestation during res flushes. Also got H2O2 for that.

I'm thinking that I should get the liquid karma and I'll use BC Technaflora Awesome blossoms (I think it's organic) bloom enhancer.

Have you guys heard of Blue Lightning? It's like darkenergy (?) or some such...

Crap. Guess I shoulda researched a bit more :lol:

And it's gonna be a while before I can get back to the hydro store (Damn work always getting in the way)

Actually, the last time I was there I was looking for the Hydroplex, but they were out. I remembered a few people mentioned using the big bloom, so I went with that.

I am using no buffers. Just the amounts you see above. I did have the one tub that is running without a plant in it dive to almost 4, but it came back up the next day to 6. I don't know what that was about, but it hasn't changed in two days. You also need to remember that I am using strictly r.o. water. Are you using tap by chance? That could spell the difference. But honestly, I'm not experienced enough to really tell you what's wrong. This is only my 3rd grow :p

The one tub with with the single plant right now has stayed rock solid over the course of her time in there. I've also only topped with plain water, and the ec has dropped like its supposed to, so I know she's eating and drinking ;)

Here's a couple of pics as an update.

Thanks for the tips there TK. Now I kinda wish I had started this thread earlier so I could make it to the Hydro Store one last time before my long stretch of work.

Of the things I have been reading on this site, as well as others, is that e&f and dwc are just different enough that nute levels can be significantly different. I think this just might be one of those things I have to feel out with the plant. I will definitely consider your advice as I'm working with her, especially when it comes to the extra additives.

Now I have to find myself a safe address so I can have a few things delivered. Ahhh, it never ends :wallbash:

Update: It helps to have good friends. I have a qt. of Hydroplex and Hygrozyme on their way. A friend of mine is picking some up at his local store and shipping them to me.

[Guest]

Here's a pic I just took. Day 10 of veg. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and flip the lights to 12/12, and let the clones I add later deal with it. (If it doesn't kill 'em, it makes 'em stronger, right?)


http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day10During_LightsOff-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day10During_LightsOff.JPG)

EC is at 1.0 after adding half a gallon of plain water. Ph is steady at 5.5.

[Guest]

I didn't bother posting a pic, but she's a touch bigger now.

EC is still at 1.0. Ph rose slightly to 5.7.

[Guest]

Day 12. I switched to 14/10.

I'm still waiting on these clones to root, They're taking really freakin' long to show feet. :mad: I have to wonder at this point in time if something isn't wrong. I might go ahead and take a couple more and see if I can get those to go.

I switched her over to the other tub (the single hole). Ec is now at 1.4, ph is 5.7 The formula is the same as in the first post.
http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day12CloseUp-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day12CloseUp.JPG)
At this point, she has been in this tub for 24 hours.

[Guest]

They're looking great! Good luck on them. For myself, I just start my plants out at 1/4 strength Pure Blend Pro and work it up to full or 3/4 strength on most strains. I supplement with Liquid Karma and Cal-Mag. I'm interested in Hydroguard too, just haven't gotten around to it.

Day 15 update

http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day15_1_-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day15_1_.JPG)

I noticed my leaves were looking a bit "off". The plant is different colors in areas. So, I went ahead and did a res. change. Which consists of:

3 gal. R.O. Water
30ml Liquid Karma
5ml CalMag +
10ml Fox Farm Big Bloom
20ml of PBP Bloom

EC is at 1.1, ph is at 5.6

I also noticed that the pre filter I had on my powerhead was full of sediment. The powerhead was flowing normally, there was just a bunch of crap caught in it. I dunked the filter in and out of the dirty water to see if it would clean, and it did. But I decided to leave the filter off for a bit.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

disciplinedjinn - Thanks for stopping by! :headbange

[Guest]

Day 17: We lost power yesterday during the middle of lights off :badday: And to keep her from drowning, I had to go into the cab and put her into an empty tub. We got power back about an hour later, so back in she went. Hopefully this won't slow her down to much, or anything worse :yoinks:

Here's a pic I took right as the lights came on
http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day17-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day17.JPG)

I added half a gallon of pure H2O, and took my readings:
EC 1.0
pH 5.6

Nice start...

Got bud,
Your girls will not drown. You'll be able to go a day or two without bubbling.

[Guest]

Got bud,
Your girls will not drown. You'll be able to go a day or two without bubbling.
I know of several people who will argue with you on that point. They may not win, but they will argue :biglaugh:

Of everything I have read, anything more than a half hour in standing water can cause the plant to drown. I figured I'd play it safe, and just pulled it. You are the first person to contradict this, so forgive me for being sceptical (I also don't have very much experience growing, and am still learning quite a bit.)

It would piss me off to no end to have her drown after all of the crap I've had to put up with. (personal stuff, not with the plant)

On another note: One of the clones finally showed her feet! And in she went. Hopefully I won't kill this one :yoinks:

http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day19_2_-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day19_2_.JPG)
I swung her around 180 degrees so she now leans away from the light a bit.

After looking back at my pics, it sure seems like she didn't stretch at all during the first 8 days of flower. Looks to me like she just grew. Does it seem that way to anyone else? Or is it wishful thinking on my part?

She's really turning into a major bush! :woohoo: She's only 12" tall, but she reaches all the way across my cabinet, which is 24"

EC was at .8, so I added 1ml of CalMag +, 5ml of Liquid Karma, and 5ml of Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. That brought the EC up to 1.1. (No water)

Let's see if she likes that :lurk:


http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day2-2_Resized-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day2-2_Resized.JPG)
Here's the only clone to show feet so far. So now she's in the other tub. I'm waiting for one more of two, so it's a race to see who shows first.

It's been kinda cold outside these last couple of weeks, and my clones sit under a window on the floor. I'm thinking that might be the reason they are taking so long. Guess I need to invest in a seedling mat, or find a warmer spot to put them for the winter. :chin:

[Guest]

I've encountered my first problem. Linky (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=16158)

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Anyway, here's day 24 (day 14 of flower) of a slightly sick plant, hopefully to be helped out by this wonderful community ;)


http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day24_Resized-thumb.jpg (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day24_Resized.jpg)

EC is 1.0, pH is same as it ever was. I added half a gallon of pure water today.

If conditions get worse or do not improve, I will do a full res change this weekend (First opportunity I will have, unfortunately).

[Guest]

Well, things got worse, and I took the time to do a res. change. (Screw work, this was important! :biglaugh: )

3.5 gallons of pure RO water
10ml of PBP bloom
10ml of CalMag +
20ml of Liquid Karma
10ml of Fox Farms Big Bloom
10ml of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom
EC reads at 1.1

I also rinsed off the roots. There was quite a bit of sediment trapped in there, so I'm thinking that might have been part fo the problem (something got locked out, maybe)

We'll see if she recovers over the next 2 days.

[Guest]

It's like your adding more liquid karma than anything, my first dwc I got by with just pbp bloom and had grey ashes off of quick dryed no-cure buds. I would say stick with the pbp bloom, cal-mag, and take it way easy on the liquid karma, its great stuff, but it seems to gunk up a bit. All that other shit is just like gang-banging the plant from all angles... lol

[Guest]

Im sure im wrong but would using different nutes say like fox farms BBloom with pbp bloom and then throw in cal mag and some more stuff make PH jump and be unstable? Im curious if that may be a problem. Then add in E&F or DWC.. Just curious im sure im wrong peace...

I would have thought so too, but pH has been rock steady this whole grow.

I'm gonna give Tony Sparks idea a shot next rez change, and lower the LK, and raise the EC with the PBP bloom or the Tiger Bloom.

Part of the reason I started this thread is because I have searched both here and overgrow for grows using a DWC and the Botanicare line. (It was a fruitless search.) Just so if someone else in the same position I was in would have at the very least, a starting point.

All the info I've gathered on the subject is from e&f grows and bio buckets, so I'm kinda feeling my way along. It doesn't help that this is only my 3rd hydro grow, but hey, you got to start somewhere :smoker:

my cloning sux too. it will get there :joint:

[Guest]

This is day 22 of flower, and all is looking well. I added .75 gallons of water to the rez, and that dropped the ec to .8. So I also added 2ml of Calmag+ and 6ml of PBP Bloom formula, bringing the ec up to 1.1 :pimp:

Here's Ophelia at day 28. :yummy: I noticed that she had burned tips, so I just added half a gallon of pure RO, and added nothing else. That lowered the EC to .7
http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day28Flower-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day28Flower.JPG)I was futzing around with moving leaves around, trying to open up budsites, and when I pulled my hand back, it had the strongest odor of bublegum I have ever smelled :woohoo:
Here's Day 28 with 10 days vegging (Right) vs. Day 18, no vegging (Left). The nute regiment is slightly different, but both consist of PBP Bloom formula, Fox Farms Big Bloom, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom, Liquid Karma, and CalMag +.
http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day28Flower_1_-thumb.JPG (http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/5328Day28Flower_1_.JPG)
And finally the clone by her lonesome. She's a bit lighter in color than her sister, but otherwise looks healthy. I added the other half gallon of the one gallon jug I use to pour into her rez. EC reads .9. Again, no nutes were added.

Day 35-
I am fairly certain I have a def., but I am unsure as to what. I think it's a K deficency. (Only the big fan leaves appear to be affected, telling me that the plant is pulling the nutes it needs from the fan leaves = deficency. IS this right?)
I added 10ml of Big Bloom with a quarter gallon of water. EC = .9

Here's a slightly better shot of little sister. She's 26 days old today, and she went straight under 13 hours of light per day. She's starting to show the same symptoms of her big sister, so I did a res change (last one was 14 days ago). This time around I changed her food a bit on advice in this thread. She got:
3.5 gallons of ro water
5ml of CalMag +
5ml of Liquid Karma
30ml of PBP bloom (hydro formula)
EC = 1.0

After further investigation, and letting the symptoms continue till they devloped more on the plant to make it easier to recognize, I'm fairly certain I have a Phosphorus def.

Last night, I added 1/2 gal of h20, 4ml of CalMag +, and 15ml of PBP Bloom for hydro.

EC now sits at 1.1.

Sunday, I'll do a rez change, and make sure to use extra tiger bloom for the extra P blast.

[Guest]

Day 41 of flower, and she's really starting to pack it on.

I did a res. change, trying to combat this phosphorus def., which consisted of:
3.5 gallons of ro water
5ml of Calmag +
10ml of Liquid Karma
20ml of PBP Bloom
12 ml of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom
EC is now 1.2

Day 47! Wow. Getting close. I added a gallon of H2O, and measured the ec (.9) Last time around I chopped on day 56, so I'll start paying attention to the trichs over the next few days to see what happens.

The clone on the left got a rez change tonight. She benefits from my most recent trip to the hydro store, where I picked up both Sweet and Hydroplex.
Resevoir change consisted of:
4 gallons of H2O (r.o.)
5ml of CalMag +
10ml of Liquid Karma
10ml of Sweet
20ml of Hydroplex
20ml of PBP Bloom formula
EC = 1.2


Spider mites kinda destroyed the grandmother, and she sure didn't frost up like this. My mouth is watering in anticipation. :woohoo:

Lookin good. I like your attention to detail. I had the same fan leaf issue with PBP in rockwool.

Looking great friend.

A few comments after reading the thread.

Drowning the plant - I can say from EXPERIENCE that you plant will NOT drown from no 02 for a few days. I lost power for over 48 hours and they did just fine.

Nutes - I know it seems like feeding her lots of yummies is the bes tway but IMHE less is more when it comes to growing. I uses PBP with tap water (base 200 @ .5) and add only a pk boost for flower. Every once in awhile I will add Cal Mag or LK but never with every feeding.

Good luck
