sea salt growers?

how many of you out there are growing dwc in the style of orsica and seaponics? if so please state your recipe..

i am growing with himalayan salt and ionic grow in ro water.. things were going well/ok until i upped the ionic grow and got serious lockout. i was running 1000ppm Himalayan Salt when i should have been running 500 though. Needless to say i am running a lower level now but was wondering wether to just chuck the chem nutes and just replace it with seaweed extract.... only possible problem is ratio of nitrogen to potassium not being ideal for veg...

i'm thinking of switching my veg mix from

1000ppm himalayan salt
250ppm ionic grow

to...

1000ppm himalayan salt
300ppm sea weed extract

insight anyone?
i don't think orsica frequents the forum anymore which is a shame.

I've been experimenting sea salt in recirculating coco. With the help of fulvic acid I've been able to raise ppm's to 3000 (0.5 scale, 2000 ppm sea salt, 1000 ppm Jack's 5-12-26 + CalNit). They are exploding with growth even during adverse conditions this winter (very little air exchange, 20% humidity.) Surely they could take even more given proper conditions.

what was your vegging mix for about a month old plant?

my problem occurred after upping the chem nutes to just over 300ppm and lowering the lights.... (they were 2 weeks old tho!) would it be wise to just up the salt and leave the chem nutes at a low level? was going to add a little seaweed for vigour but are looking good again now flushed and they seem to be munching that mix down quite quick.

what should i up, the sea salt, the chem nutes or both in the ratio i had them before?

Unbelievably I have seedlings and clones thriving at 3000 ppm. I would suggest getting some fulvic acid, it seems to work wonders in combination with hydro and sea salt. I got a pound for $20 from kelp4less.

thanks wierd but i know about that thread, it is my favourite! after many years of knowing about it i am finally giving it a try.

the fulvic sounds like a good idea as it would help with the transportation of micro nutrients good advise might have to get some.

were you using grow nutes on the seedlings, or when did you introduce the chem nutes and what concentration?

Full strength Jack's and 1 tsp per gallon sea salt from the start. Maybe the fulvic could be making micro nutrients more bio-available which is bringing about a synergistic effect allowing the high nutrient concentration to be less toxic.
