We debated rhinoskin, remember?
Protek/Grotek 1ml per gal. Rhino 2ml per liter. Its more like $30 vs $560
Your flowering plants look like they have ph issues, so thats a good thing...
Get the Blulab combo meter with the replaceable ph probes. That will save $50 every time your ph needs to be replaced. The tds probes are solid though.
I use koolbloom sparingly... sometimes... Kinda like the rez recipe. I also have the dry, but only hit them once near the end when I cut the micro. Sometimes.
Anyway, you will save more than 75% on your advanced nutes, homie...
When you buy GH in bulk its already 50% less, minus all the additives. Id guess you will save nearly 90% and increase quality and yield nearly as much!
This should also cut your workload in half!
Anyway, 6/9 + 1ml silica & 2ml of sm90 = 6.0ph with my RO water.
Im adding tap & some bleach to my ro tanks now, so its a little different.

Straight up Coconuts. I have no PH problem and you always say some bullshit based off something you see.

I only have 1 plant that has a cal/mag deficiency - the Lemon Haze. Only other plant with issues would be the Jack33 with not enough room space/constant food supply.

My plants are flushing and their very dialed in - I lack space and higher quality equipment.

What you thought it was "perfect"?
I can only get that to happen to my leaves when my ph is off.

It could possibly be from letting them dry out... the ph/ec spike and uptake is hindered when the cations get out of balance and elements become locked out.
I notice it doesnt happen until mid flower, so its either drying out & spiking or thats from all the additives.
Its not the equipment...
The Lemon haze has a deficiency

Thats not a calcium deficiency because its almost impossible to have N toxicity and a Cal deficiency. Thats usually called a lockout...
Its more like theyre getting too much and PK is out of balance with N & Ca

Nute burn - Vacation/time away / relying on an automated not as good as me system with a retard at the helm. Oh and 6-8 inches away from the cool tube :joint: These pictures are from the day I got back home. Don't really care tho because its flushing looks and smells great. Yup Nute Burn/heat stress. big girls like that get dry/need bigger pots - this is hydro bro - NOTHING is perfect for me... look at my jungle room. I think this plant is OUTSTANDING given the circumstances...

Lol No This plant has a luming Cal/Mag Problem that comes and goes. This late into flower im not surprised your choice of photo doesn't show the issue because its only obvious on fan leaves. This plant had an inadequate light source for the beginning of bloom. Very happy how filled out she turned out for sitting under a CFL bulb/partially under direct HID. Right now her babies in Veg show the Cal/Mag symptoms which I don't address. My buddy running her outside has her dialed - no issues after we discussed her little fussy self. This plant has never had "enough" light this round.

You barely post your plants - Mr know-it-all-always-thinks-hes-right.

Plus you're never down to kick it n blaze so why do you REALLY care?

Something drives you to put others "not as good as you" down. You've always done it to me. Thats how you be vibin'.

:no:

Where did I put you down?
Its obvious I care about peoples plants, man!
I dont want to see anyones grow go south. I spend a lot of time on here saying the same thing over and over. Cut the additives until the basics are dialed. Thats not because Im an asshole, its because its the truth!
All I did was mention that there seems to be an issue.
I think youre just pissed about the price of silica...
When you tell me theres a cal/mag(whats this mean) deficiency and I see a toxicity Im gonna let you know it...
This thread is full of my plants in every stage of growth.
Cant get more detailed.
6/9 & done...
Im down to kick it... Just dont bring any pests with you!
I added too much tap to my ro tank and now I see some rust spots lol
Its toxicity!

Fwiw I have never seem a cal def after like week 4 in anything" I have seen what looks like mag def in plants late in flower, but it's usually a lockout from too much n or k. Raise your ph a bit, don't think you will regret it. Gotta watch the shit out of those meters also, they are finicky. I use them so little now I calibrate pretty much anytime I check something. 6/9 is the only ph perfect nute I have ever run. Sometimes you have to add a tiny bit of up after you cut the micro and silica late in flower, but other than that you can mix it and go.

Did you start adding tap because the ro slowed down? Funny that right after you mentioned that my ro slowed down stupid slow. Gonna do the sediment in the morning, hopefully that fixes it, always made water fast enough until now. I'm using less water hand watering now too.

Hes not using 6/9 yet...
The reason we go back and forth is because hes using ph perfect.
Im only guessing that the excessive nutes are building up and lowering the ph in the medium.
Nobody said he was feeding with a low ph.
I actually have a cal deficiency on a wifi late in bloom that I put on 4/8 a little too soon.
She got light and then had the rust spots.
When you see those spots on a dark leaf its usually from toxicity/lockout.
Most bottled calcium comes from calcium nitrate.
Its really hard to give them enough N and have a deficiency that can be corrected by adding more cal and nitrogen

Ive been meaning to add tap anyway, but I had to rinse some coco and my tank was empty. I was like wtf?!?!
Anyway, my plants were drying out so I had to fill up the tank. I used a bunch of tap and didnt even check the ec.
Today after I noticed the rust spots the tank was at .3 and I had used half of the tank over the last few days.
It constantly fills with ro, so it must have been .7 or more of tap funk added to 6/9 when I first gave it to them.
I have a dehuey/ac tank but its been getting some slime.

Lol, that's the problem with 6/9, it's so simple sometimes you forget the basic stuff.

Think I wanna try a dual membrane system with a booster pump. It should raise the efficiency and be way faster.

Homie re KB powder blasts...package recommends use in last couple weeks. Rezipe of course suggests intervals of powder, at several times dosage strength. Any thoughts or concerns?

Stay up play, boost boost!

I use the liquid during the first few weeks when I use a booster after bud development.
During the last few weeks when Ive cut the micro, I blast them with the powder only(no bloom either), then Ill hit them with the bloom for the next 2 weeks or so and then its just plain water for a few days.
I cant flush them that long or they start to burn through the bud leaves and look kinda nasty.
How are you doing it at the end, homie?

My tap water is stronger than my 6/9ec....lol
Im gonna start adding in 200ppm of tap during the flush.
I let the pots dry on the last few plants I had and then stuck a few in the dark for a few days.
They seem to get really greasy when you let the pot dry.
Its kinda like the first day they get hung up and all of the moisture comes out. Its really greasy and smells nasty!
