Here is what I know Planting. The guy I know shoots for 10:1 Ca:K on Morgan. I shot for 10:1 on Logan...no where near 10:1 on Morgan. He kicks my ass period.

Thing is if you didn't get Ca in up front it is too late. That ship has sailed...like m&m you only get one chance. You are going to fight cannabalism the rest of the grow

was able to raise the soil ec from ~.1 to .4-.6 with the fertigation mentioned last page, we'll see how long it lasts... think ill be going through alot of fish hydrosyltate and amino ca this season....

Lots of studies on internet. Lots of happy neem users too, so go figure.

they're basically the same thing... but i just used what i had laying around, now that i used up the last of it, i dont think ill be buying any more neem meal anytime soon, too expensive and spikes ec too much for my liking.. also the toxicity to nematodes is a question... so im nixing it..

Maybe I'll try that Morgan test out.

Ebg how are you measuring ec?


Man when I dumped 10 gal of Pacific Gro into my res last week I guess a lot of the solids settled out and ever since then my water every time I fill it smells really bad in a bad way, not in a good fishy way. Is this bad for my plants? I imagine they'll be fine but thought I'd ask.

I can't really remove tthe solids.I could pprobably get half of them out. We will see

I use a cheap pressure washer I got from harbor freight to clean my tank out. Works great

Solids settling from pacific grow......... I never get that?

I like an inline filter I can hook to my pump, that pulls from my rez, and the output back into the rez. This cleans the water and heavy particles before I run it through the same inline filter, then my water lines. Also agitates everything.

Finally ran out of MicroPak. People still using Micropak or have you guys found a better product? I have everything I need for foliar, but Micropak was a great soil amendment.

Just use individual sulfates and boric acid. Use plenty of fulvic acid chelate so they don't get tied up by high P right away.
