The coco pellets are in a bag, which is dropped into coco net cups, and surrounded with ornamental stones, which are easily removed from the roots after harvest and 100% reusable

You've only 'peeled' through amare's site, but never used them, neither do you have any grows or degrees to support your 'opinion'. Does anyone smell a troll? It seems like you are only looking for an excuse to bash Amare

Wow i just posted my opinion you sure are crazy over those lol well have a nice life i wont come back to see this 1* thread.

Update post Defol: Looking strong

plus babies have bounced back

[PetFlora]

Received both NPK RAW grow and bloom Microbes. Added 1 TBS to both the EH and NPK rezes. I will also add the grow micros to the vegging plants

Also, earlier today I cut off the section that had the mold. There was no airflow. Listening to NPK Industries Nutrient tutorial, Harley says Aminos will prevent mold from penetrating into the plants. Yet another worthwhile product to up my game

[PetFlora]

CAUTION: RAW Microbes caused my 3 rezes pH to plummet from ~ 6.0 to 4.5!

Had I not checked it this morning it could have been catastrophic to my plants.

Why they don't emphasize this is most disconcerting

Also, 2 of the 4 plants in the veg tent are males. Bye bye boys

[PetFlora]

Micros Update: I emailed this to NPK

Directions for Solution are 1/2- 1 tsp/G

I added 1 tsp/4 gallons to be on the safe side

pH prior to adding checked daily very stable 6.0

24 hours later pH plummeted to 4.5!

My veg plants were in dwc, roots in nutrients 24/7

Blooming plants fed every 3 hours

Either of these would be catastrophic if pH not checked immediately

24 hours later, still stable after adding a lot of pH UP

The packaging/ product pages needs to point this out

Crap, just spotted coconuts on my 3rd plant, the fullest. One spindly one left. I'll fim her top. That leaves one from seeds and 2 clones

[PetFlora]

First Defol was on 7/10. Second defol due ~ 8/3, but thanks to the micros plummeting the pH for 24+ hours, most of those leaves are already dieing (turning/turned yellow)

Im still adjusting with Up

Probably take pics tomorrow to show the hit

[PetFlora]

As I mentioned, I used > half strength bloom micros to my NPK bloom nutes; Yucca>Silica>Bloom> Humic

pH rock steady 6.0 throughout grow and bloom, up until I added the micros

Stupidly, I did not check pH until the next day (3-4 feedings), which was 4.5pH

I immediately adjusted up to 6.0, but the damage done did not show much until yesterday

See pictures

Had I not caught this in time, the whole crop might have failed

[PetFlora]

I dumped nutes from the lone female plant vegging (3 were males) plus 2 clones that were taken too late, and may not re-veg.

I would start new seeds, but a friend visited his son in CO, and is bringing me new seeds

I received and added RAW Kelp, which may have buffered the micros as the final pH was 7.1. I had to bring it down, instead of bringing it way up.

[PetFlora]

My friend just got back from CO, where even the dispensary stuff is strong. Alas, he was unable to buy seeds

Between the low yielding sats under the Amare P3 (and 2 clones I probably took too late) I'm going to start Diesel/Diesel. I am gong to check the seeds to see if any have a round shape at the bottom: round are supposed to indicate females, and since my last 2 attempts produced 3/4 males, it's worth a shot

This grow, once the seedlings have some roots I will be using a 4 head low pressure manifold/heads with a 264 gph low pressure pump to wet them 15/15. I thought that would be way too long for the 'on' time, but one grower showed me his roots at 15/15 and they looked fine
