I prefer the use of RO water for the simple fact it eliminates water source as a variable for consideration if complications arise.

I don't remember exactly what Phillthy was using, but it was water on site - just don't remember what the source was. I'm sure it's in his thread if you searched it. He mentions a water hose in his thread many times...so...

ok thanks just needed to be sure

i just thought the blood would be to strong for the sativa's due to reading other people saying to reduce the nitrogen to half with this type of strains. i trust your opinion with what you said in the other thread so i will follow the recipe to the letter. disregard the pm as i would rather get the answers here for others to learn like i am. i am doing them out door in 100 gallon pots and i need them to go all the way with the mix. any extra advise would be grateful.

thanks

Sativa strains ARE more environmentally sensitive...perhaps their sweet spot is more narrow than faster strains. However, I don't think the idea of feeding them less is accurate. I think they utilize the same amount of nutrition - just at different rates - which I would speculate is probably directly proportional to their lifespan.

With the plants roots system being the primary regulatory factor in what it takes from the soil - as long as the nutrition is PRESENT - let the plant dictate when and how much of.

THE biggest mistake people make with organic soil is thinking that a mix should be more or less "concentrated". When an organic mix is right - successful harvest comes down more to having proper soil volumes for the expected / desired yields.

A lot of times people think that a plant given 300 gallons will simply yield more because it has more root space. However, I've learned that some plants actually have a limit to their genetic potential. Some plants are only going to yield so much - regardless if they have no environmental limitations that would adversely affect that output.

As long as you don't transplant massive plants that are going to become too large for the root space you'll be providing - I don't imagine you'll be finding any issues with this approach.

I still highly suggest you try out a small indoor test run with a batch of the soil to see if you find it adequate. Even if it doesn't finish by the time you need to have your plot ready - at least then you've put some experience under your belt with the soil and have a better concept of what to expect IF any circumstances requiring further attention occur.

100 gallon outdoor ladies is a big commitment and there is probably a lot riding on that. I'd personally NEVER want my success to fall solely on the shoulders of a internet entity. I'd be loosing sleep constantly worrying if they were getting what they needed. If "_____" was right...then I'll be fine - is like placing a cup of red kool aid on the edge of a table sitting on white carpet saying, if no one knocks this off...

BEST way to be sure you're heading down the right path for success is to put it to the test. I'm willing to help at any point I can along the journey!

thanks for the info. i went threw my notes of last year and i did end up needing to bottle feed nutrients to get them thru to harvest. i can't grow indoor any more so that is why i go out side. i do start them in 2 gallon pots to sex them then i will put them into the 100's around 30 day's or so later around the first of may. i just wasn't happy with the mix i used. i use well water for the plants that has a reading of .10 ppm so that should be ok don't you think.
on a side note. do you have any plans on doing more of the chem sour any time in the future.

thanks again frank for taken the time to help me understand the organic method and to offer your assistance in my next run. i am glad to see you are using these forums the way gypsy intended them to be. HELPFUL TO OTHERS

peace

The ChemSour x SSCDH line is the only thing on my plate. I honestly don't foresee being able to get any seeds of that out before outdoor season begins though. I'd hate to get your hopes up and screw up your rotation.

Sounds like your water should be fine. Is it treated in any way chemically?



dank.Frank

no straight from the ground. i just put a inline filter on it due to my water dispenser on my frig.
i was just wondering if you was doing any more of the chem sour so i could keep an eye out for them. i use to do a lot of rez's gear some time back and regret not keeping some of the gear around. i have all my supply's ready to go so now i will take a little break. t and j responded quick by the way

peace

thanks frank

Water should be fine. I used to use on site spring water than was ran to a well and then pumped to site. Was the best water I ever had. Wasn't using RO for that spot.
