Hi, I use EJ products and love the results. However, EJ is just a supplement to the fish waste in my Aquaponics system.

My recipe - 1 40/th recommended strength EJ Range (Grow, bloom, meta-k, microblast and catalyst) mixed in proportions recommended for bloom.

I bubble 24 hours and add to system. The system clouds up but clears within 12 hours max.

Not noticed a difference in taste organic weed tastes great as does aqua. I have noticed a difference in growth - it's now explosive.

Hello all,

While I am a soil grower, I have done a lot of research on "pH down" solutions-they are a rip off, you canmake the same solutions from wood ash.

The pH up from EJ is a soultion of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide-wood ash lye.

It is a matter of putting wood ash in a quantity if water-leach it for 24 hours, pout of the clear liquid leaving the solids (primarily calcium carbonate and silica).

Now you can go further by boiling down the liquid to concentrate it.

I use it straight to raise the pH of my nute solution (Alaska fish and EJ Bloom). The only difference is the concentration.

IMO

could you please give us more details on wood ash or at least links.

sounds good, i needs to study up!

Me too ,i use EJ Grow and Bloom and EJ Micro when needed.I use these with Pure Blend Grow n Bloom and Fox Farm Big Bloom.I use EJ Bloom the last 3 to 4 feedings before flush,i also flush for a minimum of 10 days sometimes more, no matter what i dont pump it up with food til the end cuz i want the taste and end result more than i want yeild.I like my ashe gray and silky to the touch, so it gives a sweet ass Organic taste(and i didnt say sweet ass cuz its liquid poop,lol) in the end.Ive used many others and i kinda like this recipe and im gonna stick with it.In soiless with EJ is tastey,but i dont grow Hydro so wouldnt know as far as that.Hope you figure out yer feeding schedule/recipe and it turns out tastey good,lol.Peace and stay safe all,FMD

EDIT:

As a sidenote-when I adjust my water down for waterings-I use a few drops of Alaska fish shit.. Works everytime.

Hey what about the liquid EJ products do you have to bubble those
as well??

i haven't used anything other than EJ, course i haven't been at it too long either.... only two harvests in, but without anything to compare them to... i do like them...again without anything to compare other than other peoples stuff grown with god knows what, the flavor of my stuff was outstanding

[Where'sMyBud?]

I used EJ Bloom 2 grows in a row on the same clones, in the same medium, under the same light, in teh same grow room and Noticed that the second time around that the EJ was bringing the pH of my water waaaaaaayyy down - to like 3.0-4.0 !!! I was using the same dosage from the first grow, which I had great sucsess with (and actually praised EJ products on OG), but somehow that bottle of Bloom became much more concentrated in the course of a month between grows. The bottle was kept under my kitchen sink, which is dark and cool - no idea how it happened but it did.

So, use it if you want but take caution in the fact that all bottles are not very consistent. I would consider using it again, only if I experiemented with it over the course of an enitre year!

^^^^Yeah, you go to shake the stuff up everytime.
