Did you ever try out PhotoMag ?
Nope. I took a look at the MSDS and I bought biomin powders from JH biotech for the longer shelf life. I barely use a 1/2 gallon when I foliar right now. I made a multi-mineral mix out of everything. I got 1lb of biomin everything... I made it a little heavier in what I was low on. Biomin Calcium stinks so bad!
I've only sprayed once so far, so I really can't comment on the efficacy of the mix... but all the research indicates that amino chelates are the way to go.
Plants are vegging. They're starting to fill out now so it shouldn't be much longer. The past couple grows I haven't done much foliar spraying. I'm gonna get back on it this grow and hopefully see increased vigor, health, and yield.
Right on ! Cool to make your own. SeaCrop is a pretty key ingredient. You should get a gallon of that stuff..It'll last you a long time and doesn't cost much and you can take it yourself as a mineral supplement.
Single amino on JH too with citric acid as well
I really like jH biotech I was using it before I tried AEA ...had great results with it. The Aea stuff is just 10000x more concentrated ..not the individual micros ..those are comparable to rebound line but jH is amino chelate vs wet ball mill nanoparticle sulfate ..more stuff like cal-boro and PHT cal but the jH pours out like water.
Yeah I have a full gallon of Sea Crop on standby for when I finish up the one I'm currently using. Good stuff. I put 3mL in my morning coffee.
Yes single amino. I have ferti nitro also. I wouldn't fear a single amino. Once inside the plant aminos can be altered to become a different amino. You can make any of the 200+ amino acids found in nature out of the 10 essential amino acids. Glycine is non-essential but can be restructured to other forms nonetheless.
I thought about calling up the AEA people, but I just can't see myself using even their smallest quantity within a year. From what I read, liquids are good for a year, and powders are good for 3 years. Luckily the MSDS is available for all their products and I can at least make an educated guess as to the quantity to use.
What are you referring to being non-soluble? Those biomin powders dissolve real easy. The humic acid is what's always clogging up my sprayer....
I like the residue. I also flip flop between totally soluble stuff and PHT series...Works pretty good for me.
Actually turbocharged. The medium chain triglycerides get you jacked without the jitters. Try a teaspoon of coconut oil. Start slow though...your system will rebel til it gets use to fat as its energy source
I haven't updated in a while... Just been busy.
That last biomin foliar spray didn't have good results. I think it was too strong. For now I'm just going to let them recover and when they're happy again I'll use a more dilute spray. I've never seen a 4 leaf clover until today... or a 5 leaf clover for that matter. I blame it on the stress.
Sour Dubb- super slow to veg! I probably won't run it in the beds anymore.
Nightmare Diesel- showing Ca burn
TK- also not happy

I haven't got around to painting yet. I'm going to get it done tomorrow for sure. Like I said, I've just been busy with other things.

Sour Dubb on the far end, TK up front, and there's a GG#4 in the middle that can't be seen well b/c I snapped the top today putting down trellis.
Anyway... It's coming along. I really need to get better at cloning so I can monocrop. TK or GG#4 would be great candidates. Personally I would choose TK over GG#4. I'll have to run them both more to see how they compare.

Interesting, I'll give it a go. Just figured out it's the MCT's in coconut oil that's creating the foam any time I try to fry with it. If only chicken and pork weren't so delicious cooked that way. Getting way off topic here though hehe.

From your reading, or your experience, can you comment on the idea that a bed of genetically identical clones will do better than a bed of differing genotypes, because plants are more stressed when their roots encounter the roots of others that are different?
Plants growing near other plants causes them to grow faster, they don't even have to share the same soil. Being near each other is enough to stimulate growth. The positive side of using clones is that they will all react the same. When using different cultivars, some will outgrow others. For example, the clovers, yarrow, and random flowers growing in my beds are easily shaded out by the cannabis. Sativa dominant cannabis will attempt to shade out the indica dominant plants that can't keep up with the rapid growth of the sativas.
Looking back on my various grows... I've always done better with one cultivar in a bed. I've done it with Headband, Golden Goat, Straw DD, Deathstar, and now Nightmare Diesel. This ND bed might break some personal records. Not my favorite smoke, but it's a damn good plant.
Good question!
