Give it a try bro, my tap is 300 ppm at the redemption thread garden and currently up to 400 ppm at the big garden. All depends on whats in your tap. Mine is almost all calcium so it works awesome with coco . What color is the buildup on your sink/shower head/etc? That is assuming you don't have a water softener, and get a build up of some mineral/s.

I would definitely be on the lookout for bugs man, particularly aphids. One bonus of running the organic soil is that you don't have to worry about ppm's and ph etc, and it kind of eliminates those things as factors when you are having problems.

 

[whodare]

Bonz, get back to you roots.

If it ain't broke don't fix it type thing.

Hydro had ya running smooth, plus, to me at least, small net pots of hydroton are a whole lot easier to handle/dispose of.

Never mind the control you have of the nutrient solution.

I've heard all the reasons against hydro, but with planning and a few neat tools you can eliminate all the risks, and have a system you can comfortably walk away from for a week.


Save the experimentation for small tests until comfortable.

This is coming from a guy who ran three different techniques under three lights in one room. K.i.s.s.

Anyway take care now my 2 pennies have been deposited, sorry cant help with the soil though, never ran it.

Well buddy all I can tell you is what I've experienced. For the spider mites grab some mighty wash, it's perfectly safe and it actually works! Just be sure to spray EVERYTHING a few times and a couple days apart. I've had aphids before man, and I experienced the same noodle scratchers. Weird deficiencies all over the place, tore apart roots and inspected with a scope, and I never saw anything on my roots. I did however see tiny bugs crawling around in the bottoms of the pots, but you have to look very closely. IMO it's worth it to just go ahead and hit your VEG plants with IMID. Good luck buddy!

I hit em with IMID a week ago...and made a spray...im tellin' ya man...i am stumped...the floor dry top dress is keepin the fliers from burrowing as much...they still pop through the drain holes though

fuckin gnarly...

Absolutely everlast dude...you see how shallow that water is? MAYBE a foot...wouldnt wanna eat shit in that paradise....although it would be worth every unsanitary stitch!

so i got a question about the Bio Grow....this can be used as a stand alone 1 part grow at 1-0-6?

thanks fellas

 

[Mister_D]

Yes it can be used as a stand alone veg nute. Just follow the recipe as I have outlined it for you. Thing you want to remember about biobizz is unlike most bottle organics, biobizz isn't completely broken down. This means there is actually more nutes in the bottle than listed on the label. If you want visual proof the recipe works check out sgapetti's grow here in the vert section . He just started growing not that long ago, followed my recipe and advice, and well look at his plants.....

Nice ass too btw
