ye i have the hardwater bottle, my EC is .4. will there be any issues with this ?

yes the cannazyme adds to the EC

i could set my water to a higher EC before i put nutes in that might help with the elements that are missing?

Oh my bad. I assumed you had RO since your EC is so low with 6/9.
Not sure bro. If you start to see spots you can grab some magical, or if you see yellowing with dark veins add a pinch of epsom.
As long as you are watering often enough and keep the environment dialed you shouldnt have any other problems

im just starting to use this formula to, im usually a heavy feeder which never helps lol. so its 6ml of micro per US gallon and 9mls of bloom?

if thats the case it only brings my EC with 10ml cannazyme and 10 boost to .8 EC.

coconutz what are your EC or ppm ?

Something seems wrong here, you should be closer to 1.8 ec with what you are putting in. Honestly the zyme and the boost are just gonna screw what is already a good ratio. They both have 0-1-1

Check your meter, it seems like it may be off by a lot, I have some experience with everything there except the hard water micro, it's not gonna drop it that much though.

Fwiw I can't say enough good things about 6/9 with 1ml per of silica and 2 mls per of sm90 (the exact directions coconutz recommended to me awhile ago). Anything else seems to be of little benefit and possible can cause some issues. Also as an aside, I was underwhelmed by boost. It is a decent carb and Tria suplement, but if I was going to use either of those I would administer them differently. After using carbs and. Tria I have found that they are not that helpful. I have had some kind of bad experiences with Tria, it can make a great cut kind of leaf out in a way I don't love. I have seen the explosive flower set it can create, but IME what it gave me in an increased set, it took away in a weird swell situation. I honestly believe that most peoples gardens won't benefit from hormone manipulation. Spend your money on your environment and skip the snake oil.

Coconutz FTW

Quick edit, I run slightly diluted, don't know the exact amount, but if I was mixing up 20 gallons, I might mix the 6/9 for 15 gallons. I run the other two at a true 1 and 2 mls per respectively. This ends me up around 1.1-1.2 which coincidentally is also the ec coconutz recommended for me in the beginning. Also it ends me up at the exact ph I want to run at when mixed in ro. LET me tell you, that alone is almost enough of a reason to switch. Hydro stores are gonna hate this guy the more often the gospel of no bullshit additives is preached.

i usually rock house and garden A&B with no additives at 750-800ppm, results in coco with the H&G are very slightly superiour to GH 3 part or floranova in my experience, although i never done a side-by-side... theres an idea.

I know the feeling man, I have kind of a ridiculous supply of snake oil myself. Even though it cost you a lot to buy, IME I get better results without it.

6/9 ratios are awesome, but the true beauty of the whole thing doesn't come into play until you simplify. I used canna stats to make 6/9 ratios for awhile and got beat up by problems until I just gave in and listened.

Ive used GH Flakes and CNS17.
They were both good for awhile.
When I moved I ran into all kinds of problems.
I switched to GH because its like 30% cheaper when I buy in bulk.
Adding much weight or quality to what I have going now would be unrealistic I think.
Its more likely that I could get the same results as 69 with something cheaper like Jacks
Flakes seemed to be really clean in the res though.

I'd love to stick with GH micro and bloom 6/9 but I'm a cheapass and too old to be married to these plants on a daily basis, I like to camp out in the wilds too much. I got my 1/2" black tube circling the bloom and veg rooms and going up to my second story where I have a 18gal rez sitting uder my 5 gal feed rez. In a few weeks I''l throw 6 plants into bloom and set 6 more I already have vegging into the veg room and hook up the blumats. Then they all are going off GH 6/9 to eat Maxibloom whether they like it or not. One food for all- clone/seed to bloom. Eat it or die. I'll whack the strains that put up a fuss.:tiphat:

Oh ya buddy, consider me a coconutz 6/9 convert!!!

This is with just 6/9

All the ib3 (rhizo, rapid start, etc) never got them looking that good.

All the excess seems to just buildup and cause problems. Actually talked to a couple of friends who work in major ag as soil scientists, they fucking laughed when i started talking about hormones and all these fancy additives.

Your ph should also swing rapidly with tap water.
Its best to let the tap sit out for awhile just to let the ph settle.

my tap water is .8 EC so i have started to collect rain water and i mix it up to .4 and everything sits in my grow room to get to room temp. i only let my feed sit for an hour or so before feeding.

.8 is some toxic shit dude...
Get a filter if you drink that shit or have a dog... especially if there are any kids!
Mine ranges from .8-1.5 and I wont even give it to a dog that a kid of a person I used to work with left here.
I wouldnt even call them a friend(shes actually a stupid bitch), but the dog doesnt deserve that shit.

Tu Pur Nucca!
Hey... You see what I did there, AloeRustSpots?
Thats Tu Purr pot with 1 week veg from rooting!

Hello all

I spent almost 2 years growing in sunshine mix 4 which you all know is a fancy name for a bag of peat moss.
I've always stuck around 6.0 ph range with it and rarely had a problem associated with it.

3 weeks ago a friend got an increadable deal on bags of Tupur coco choir. (I listed details of it in the post named "question about Tupur soilless mix" here on this site)

Now, my ladies are about 4 weeks old and don't display any noticeable issues in it. I intend to keep my ph the same but not sure what else I need to be expecting after making a switch.
The coco felt waaaay much softer and gentler then peat moss.

Can you guys speculate or state what can be expected after making a switch.
Thank you

You can expect 2 pur nucca!
