sorry for the noobish question but ive been at it for 9 years and this is my first hydro.
6/9 & A Pinch BayBay!
- Thread starter Coconutz
- Start date
depends whats in the water and whats in the nute solution
6/9 w/ro is pretty much universal... in the US anyway. We measure shit our way homies.
Anything more than 100-150ppm(.5) of my tap water mixed with 6/9 & ro gives me an overdose of cal or something that makes them dark ugly green and locks out cal

when producing ro whats the waste water to ro water ratio?
so i take it youre tossing more than a few gallons for every gallon you get cleaned.

Your tap is 1.5EC horry sheet bro
A few weeks ago I talked a buddy into going coco/MB/Hempy from growing in Miracle grow soil, his plants looked nasty. So I take my bluelab and ph meter with me to mix his first batch and see how much ph up or down he will need with his well water. His well water ec was 0.0 and ph 6.5. added the 7g/galMB and the ec was 1.3 and and 5.8ph. He pulled 10 plants out of soil and washed all the soil off the roots and put them in coco, some were 4' tall. I looked at them yesterday and they all look sweet and happy.
id clean that shit too! what do you thinks in it? ground up trucks and barns and industrial waste, old neighborhoods, or???? wtf?
youre gonna break a tooth drinking that shit bro damn!

Coconutz: For sure, we all use what we got! I'm lucky to have very clean tap water on hand. Just would hate to be drinking tap water like that! At least you look after the girlies by cleaning it up with the RO unit.
Stoned40yrs: damn that's sweet luck. it's nice how some things just fall into place like that. he's got no excuse for not growing some sweet herb

Yo.. I was curious what is your general rule of thumb for the first wet/dry cycle/s after transplant with first watering. The og's I was having problems with seemed to ramp back to normal after giving them a nice feeding with Epsom and allowed it to go a couple days without feeding. I transplanted from 1 to 2s and started feeding daily right off the bat and they sustained but later faded out a little. What's your thoughts? In the past I have always let them get a little dry after the first transplant which in some cases took up to week w/o another feeding. Thanks fellas!
I think my fading was due to some kinda lockout/stress I had after transplant. Definitely something related to its root mass not filling out the containers. I see plenty roots poking out the bottom drainage holes now as I barely noticed any just a couple days ago. Weird but I'm glad it's on track now.
As far as that general guideline what is your watering frequency that first week after transplant?

I normally transplant from a solo cup equivalent size pot to a 3/4 gal to 3gal. On each transplant I usually water in with half strength nutes, and follow it up 3 days later. Usually good for the third feed after about 5 days
I'm too lazy to water everyday when the seeds/clones are in 16oz hempy cups or after that in 1 gal containers. Every 3-4 days I water/feed full strength 6/9 (till I run out of micro&bloom and switch to MB for early veg too, in a month or 2) Looks like I have 2.5 months for veg so I don't need max growth in a short time anyway. In veg stick them on blumats when they are 2' tall. Once I get perpetual going I may have to try for max growth in a short time and water everyday.
Bummer! If you have a favorite wifi then what is it about the other wifis that make you keep them also. I ask because I got 3 phenos from seeds of a unnamed strain that I'm going to flower next run and the plan is to only keep clones of my favorite of the 3.
