Residuals last a quite a while with spinosad.
Shows up in pesticide testing.
Not for smoking.

hey hey.. it is always a show. i think the only time it wont be a show is when im 6ft under or a pile of dust. people who visit call me the wonka factory. things most likely will have to be cut back as they are possibly changing the laws again. sadly, im still welcoming it... tired lately.

how are things with you?? what you running lately? things are changing so quick.

b well man...

Real good buddy, moved out a few miles west to the mountains & played around in some greenhouses for a couple summers. Recently set back up inside, currently 10k but will be making it a 10k flip soon. Pop over to my thread for full gear list, but a lot of the old goodies & running thru a bunch of packs of new goodies.

I’m watching & drooling, Be good man!

Doh! Another one bites the dust that I thought was safe to use. Do you know if its safe to use in veg? Ie: how long does it stay in the plant thru testing? got any links? Ill dig and see what I can find.

so been messing with teas an trying a slightly different approach to the ppk. a drain to waste soil based ppk.

since i dont have a nutrient analyzer on hand, yet. i figured why not try this approach. a drain to waste ppk. as every time a nutrient flushes thru the medium something is absorbed, an whats not absorbed is left behind. instead of having whats left behind constantly build & circulate, then cause issues/antagonisms , remove it after some use. Now every feed is fresh an " Full ", not striped, and or not in excess of any certain nutrient or nutrients.

still keeping the tailpiece in the lower bucket but with only like 5 inches of water till the float avtivates an drops the water level a little.

the topoff container is full strength.
autotop off still into the working rez.
tea brewer hi air environment, feed from there to the plants.
drips down an back to the yellow bucket which is independently sealed from the main rez.
in the yellow bucket a float valve is set to drain about inch or 2 of the returned nute. always leaving 5-6 inches in the system for the tailpiece to use.



same amount of input. except removing it after one use. if it doesnt work. it will take a few minutes to set back to " normal PPK"

next step i will be taking the drain an holding it so it can be used in the veg rooms. again, it only has one run thru. there is plenty of nutrient to feed the less demanding vegging plants.

Sounds really cool amigo, hope it works out for ya. My only concerns would be nailing down the right gap between bottom of pot and water level in the lower bucket, and scare of pythium build up with organics in the sitting res. Maybe there will be enough movement with the cycles, and dtw, that it wont be a problem? Organics in res usually adds up to algae, cyanobacteria, fungus gnats, pythium, etc... for me. I never mastered it, but I hope you do, so I can copy your genius idea!

hey MM. i hope it works better too. while i dont think they will outperform the turface/perlite standard mix as far as yield. the changes seem to be far more fragrant. i shouldve tested the brix levels on the leaves in the last run. i have not gotten very high brix levels prior, which also helped me steer this way.

definitely can be a slippery slope. this is also one of 3 systems ive changed. they all have variations. shit if u can grow in a swamp i can do this.

the first modded soil system produced some of the most aromatic grape hash plant i can remember. she was pretty white too. an i know she could have been pushed harder. that run i depended on the amendments more, and or didnt want to get to hot of a nute in circulation ,if the amendments kept up. but they didnt an i feed lower. an next run im increasing my circulating nutes and doing a different cal an mag approach.

that run i also needed higher amounts of perlite to aid with drainage in that system. did not like how long it took to drain the buckets, and also this led me to feed less. due to me seeing no dry down in between feeds.

the 2 changes after the first room, i increased the grow stones an perlite. an lowered the water level in the lower bucket. i have another room with recent changes day 25 of flower an im pretty happy. better drainage equall more feeds.

if i can recirculate more, there is less build up in run off. i already see this build up in the other systems off the return, an these arent drain to waste.so i guess better drainage to allow more recirculating.

the standard ppks im feeding 4 hrs veg, then ever 2hrs hard veg early flower, then every hour day 10 flower till later. one room been trying feeds/recirculate every 2 hrs 24/7. an they are happy, but that is my best room.

as for the soil amended ppk rooms, or top drip no tailpiece, it seems every 4 hrs with lights on. or every 6 lights on till roots are established. my goal is to get these soil amended with more feeds.

thanks for stopping in.... bsafe
