Nomaad III: 2011
- Thread starter nomaad
- Start date
I use Ca25 as well. Foliar application every two weeks till stretch. The alternating week in that rotation gets kelp or Roots Trinity.
Not really sure how much Hygrozyme per 200 off the top of my head... but its not too difficult to figure out. Normally, I just stick a Dosatron tube into the bottle, set the percentage to match the dosage instructions on the HGZ bottle and walk away. Maybe it takes 15-20 gallons of solution to fully drench my pots. @15ml/gal, that's as much as 300ml per pot. So... 10-13 pots per gallon of HGZ
I already have plenty of veg food in my soil mix. No need to reinforce this. The weekly foliar feed of Brix Mix does the trick. From what i am able to appreciate, my plants do not lack veg fuel. In fact, last season i was PRAYING that many of them did not get any bigger or they would have hedged out.

nomaad, it's always a pleasure flipping through the pages of your grow logs. While I enjoy the reading, I don't typically digest much more than the pictures; I like to think that some small bit of the vast amount of knowledge you and other experienced growers freely convey sticks to my noodle. Thanks for another al dente thread, and best of luck for your outdoor 2011, my friend!
Hi Nomaad!
Great to see you back. Out of hibernation myself and working on a new light dep next door to the 40 acres where I did the 2010 outdoor. Just renewed my lease there, but this time with the real owners. Long story, but happy ending.
After a summer of of camping and hiding from my "next door" ranch neighbor we've become good friends and as of this winter I now share the house and do 3kw of indoor indica together with her. For summer 2011 I'll have a real kitchen, a shower, electricity, internet, barns for storage, horses and tons of free composted manure. No more tent! It's going to be a good year!
I picked up a clone of Black Domina at GKG a few weeks ago. Never tried it before but have heard it can get dark.
Subscribed for sure... Best of luck to you this summer! Can't wait to see how good it gets!

Cool man. What was your beef with the Roots? I used a bulk mix recipe last year side by side by about 10 pallets of Roots. In on pallet of Roots I found some bags that were chalk full of termites!! Other than that it performed well, but for the cost and the waste, it wasn't worth it. I've got a local earth worm farm that mixes me up some nice stuff, 20% castings, 50% compost, 30% pumice, perlite, peet, coco + blood meal, bone meal, rock phos, kelp, green sand .... performs real well...
does anyone on here use Tom's mix?? peace

Roots=fungus gnats. I heard a story that the owner of Roots Organics told a shop owner that he was aware that all the soil had fungus gnats and if anybody complained he'd buy them a round of Gnatrol. I have now used Roots, 707 and Greenfields and will avoid them all in the future.
FFOF was gorgeous last year. I have heard about bad years for FFOF in the past...
Hygrozyme: I am going to drench pots twice before amending and then apply every 2-3 weeks after transplant.
Mycostop: I will water in after amending pots and then apply every 2-3 weeks.
For users of Tom's mix, go to the big plant thread in his vendor section.

Hey nomaad, been following you for quite some time. Doing large smarties this year myself and I couldnt be more excited :]
I noticed you use hygrozyme.
I'm using roughly 3 yards of bagged soil (bat guano/chicken manure/kelp meal/EWC) along with an extra half yard of EWC, about 90lb of gypsum, a helllavalotta pumice, and a yard of compost. I'll test my soil this thursday and possibly add some steamed bone meal if it lacks in nitrogen.
Would hygrozyme have any negative impact on all the the beneficials in my soil? The half yard of EWC itself is teeming with life and I hope to keep it there and thriving, feeding with well water and compost teas.
I've been interested in hygrozyme but from what I read on the label it seems like it might kill off all the beneficials in the soil, no?

Bone meal is high in P, not N. If you want to use a slaughterhouse-derived nitrogen amendment, blood meal is what you're looking for.
nomaad is using the zyme to break down leftover roots from last season's plants. Hygrozyme kills bacteria, beneficials included.

I've done some experiments with Hygrozyme where you pour undiluted hygrozyme in to a glass jar and then i cleaned some dead roots of dirt and threw the roots in..The hygrozyme did not eat the roots up. Just FWIW...
