lovely looking plants man, great work.

you can add pk as soon as they have the first real flowers, normally about 14 days into 12/12. only add about half dose and reduce the normal nutes a bit too. only use it for a couple of waterings, then go back to A+B until 3 to 4 weeks before harvest when you can add another dose of pk, this time full dose on top of your normal nutes. unless she is nute shy in which case yu reduce the normal nutes a bit before adding the pk.
peace

i suppose i should start a new thread really,

the 4 soma NYCD's are getting out of hand!!!

[alexnalaskaOG]

watering every other day. girls range from3/7weeks. pots 1to3 gals. nycd, bog bubble, buddah sis, nlXshiva, afgani hash plant all on full nutes. using ghbb and cha ching, adding 1 tsp epson every other watering. black domina and lemon 1/3 dose, they are very sensative. I want to know if I need to start watering every day? Would this increase yeild? all is well and growing well, im just trying. hand watering perpetual grow. was really bad start after growing 10 yrs in soil. latest generations back in soil

[alexnalaskaOG]

latest gens back in soil for last 6weeks @least, but now that im seeing what coco is capable of i will use it for single strain grows, but for my perpetual, soil is the key to ease w/good results. thanks to you all and this well of info my butt was saved. so thanks!

hey guy was thinking what are your thoughts on using ac condensate water for coco my ac is putting out gallons of it and since i think it mostly distilled water could it be used. only thing i was worried about is algae coming out of it if this would cuz proublems.

[gaiusmarius]

hey alex be careful adding epsom salts to coco, have seen it go wrong many times. coco gives off plenty of cal and there is enough mg in most ferts as long as your ph is kept low enough so the plant can actually use the mg. anyway, if you have been watering every other day yand the plants look good, then there is no need to change. if you feel they could look better then yes once a day will soon clear things up as long as your nutes are geared to coco.

stevr ac water should be very pure no? i see no reason not to use it, check the ph and ec and if both are cool then go ahead and add it to your tank. just be sure that it's not more then 50% of the tank so the rest is tap water with the trace elements and calcium your plants need and most nutes expect the water to contain.

hey i just check my ac water and i came up with 60 ppm@7 6.6ph my tap is 40 ppm@7 and 6.8 ph look to me my tab would be a better choice for coco

[alexnalaskaOG]

thanks gaiusmarius

[gaiusmarius]

yes stevr59 sounds like your tap water is the better option. probably the ac is old and there is shit inside the thing causing the water not to remain pure. mind you maybe thats normal for ac units. actually it's the dehumidifiers that make clean water from the humidity in the air.

well i was looking for pure water to feed my flytraps they said rain water or distilled water only but it has not rained here in weeks ans i am out of rain water, but was thinking hell if it good for fly traps how about coco last time i check my rain water it was 10 ppm with a 6.8 ph but i did fill my hot tub up with tap water and letting it sit for a few days thats should be ok to feed the traps with. oh funny thing to i got my mex plant out side all day in full sun and it stretching bad and i don't know why not sure if it lack of nutes or what so i gave it a light dose of 290 ppm ferts today with no run off all the leafs have normal color. other than it stretching like it was under low light or should i keep watering with plain tap water but every day now? it still has it baby leafs still nice and green it just over a week old now
