I ran things to 1600 before and got nervous and dialed it down. In coco some plants take 1400 with just the slightest tip burn and some really hate it.

I really try to stick to 1000 to 1300 for all bloom. RO water to 10

Or if i use tap water i adjust to end up 1000 to 1300.

My problems were....NITROGEN. I am trying different ratios of masterblend now and am taking notes so i end up where i need to.

per 5 gallon bottle (Tomato/Epsom salts/Calnit)
12 6 12 is recomended...comes out at 1200 TDS
18 8 8 is what i tried for week 6 to 7 of flower (lots in that range) and that came out at 1400.
16 8 4 is what i will try next...i think that should be a good bloom formula and stop the corkscrewing foxtailing nitrogin crap. :D I would guess this will end up around 1100 to1200 tds and should work for almost everything.

For veg...MC for now its working great.

The soil pots...i now just get tap water 50 50 with RO...add 15 ml of dynagrow and use that (800 TDS)

I am using tap water. She has burnt tips but it seems Nitrogen is very low and / or just not enough. She has a few weeks left but yellowed like that a good 2 weeks ago. My first time running so no idea how she is in flower. I PH low in veg like 5.8ish but bump it in flower around 6.0-6.2. I was scared hitting her with over 1600 but she's smashing it down and drinking damn near 2 gallons a day.

I have very minor colitis, IBS, and GERD. I had to stop consuming all dairy and artificial sweeteners last year. I get probed from both ends every 3-4 years and was supposed to go in for testing in March to see if I would benefit from fundoplication surgery for my GERD on the day the state went into lock down. I wish someone would tell my digestive system that weed treats IBS because it is unaware of that relationship!

Cut dairy out of your diet. It was hard for me to do, but it is the one thing that actually made a big difference with my bowel issues.

I will give that a go. It will be BRUTAL...cheese...milk..oh a cold glass of milk....cheese..

but there is something to it...one of the foods i really cant eat is ice cream....BRUTAL....and i found out whipped cream from 35% whipping cream. So its a lactose with high fat problem.

Dream whip to the rescue.

But it might be dairy. Black coffee didnt bug me at all.

I never realized how much I loved dairy until I had to cut it out of my diet. I do love cheese free pizza, though, and just load it up with meats and veggies. Almond or Oat milk is great in coffee. I make a cappuccino every morning and almond milk froths well for that. I miss ice cream the most but there are some non dairy options out there. Haven’t found any yet that aren’t really hard though.

My gi doctor is some big time expert in the area, which is surprising, because I see him through the VA. He said our bodies, especially adults and people of Asian decent, really aren’t designed to process dairy and people with gi issues need to cut it out completely unless they want to suffer from it. He said the only dairy we can have, and in small doses, is yogurt. The only dairy I still have is butter on my toast. I figure it’s a pretty small dose and it doesn’t bother me since I don’t have it too often.

My little girl is sensative to certain dairy products....

Yesterday i got an 8 port floraflex system. I went with the 6 inch pots to start. If i like how it works i will add on another 8 in my pots on another head and plumb it all.

at the back of my garden there will be a 2 x 4 (4 feet to the rack that holds my scrubber and electrical) and then 4 feet of that side will have another table. I got 2 of them that are 2 x 4. I will find the shortest tote thing i can fit under it to hold run off and shop vac it out.

6 more plants on day 51 to 54. Then i can clean it up and install the new stuff.

I also got dry organic nutes (Stepwell Bloom and Veg) so i can just water those forever with water. No more over feeding soil with my coco mix.

1 pound trimmed this morning and the 32 special is drying.

The 5 square foot tent with a QB 120 produced 5 1/2 oz/ I will probably stick to 1 plant in this tent from now on.
120 watts for 150 grams. Tropical Dunder and Magum PI seedless and curing.

Purple Dream are seedless too so far.

5 more to chop in 2 weeks...1 week...sooner or later.
orange are where the tables will go...blue are flood and drain totes and i will plug planters in the rest.

I am going to optimize the light over the floraflex system to see what it can do.
