Fuck maybe topsoil?? i have results from some around here and its so cheap i could get it trucked to the soil yard. kind of ridiculous but i dont have a soil mixing place around here.

Maybe 13 yd peat, 4 yd compost, 13 yd lava, 8 yd topsoil? That would be 20% topsoil.

 

[HazyBulldog]

20% top soil with only 33% lava is trouble. No bueno IMO.

Has anyone used Accelerate with young plants or during veg at all? Can it be used to replace sea stim and sea crop?
I know it stimulates reproductive energy, so is it counter productive early on?

I added 5.25 lbs of gypsum per yard and .67 lbs of DE
Im hoping the gypsum will push off the Mg and K might need another dose again in a month or so. I don't like seeing such high No3 without NH4, and the N ppms.... WTF? I decided against adding the palletized chicken. Any ideas on the EC? Bumping it up a bit, thoughts?

Next test i do i will sift with a 1/4" mesh screen to remove more of the old root matter.

Bicarbs will continue to be an issue so Ca supplementation is a constant. Is the S ppms going to be an issue over time if i keep adding CaSO4?
My micros arent cycling like i would like, I'm going to work on ramping up the biology & foliar Zn and Mn, B

 

[MrBungle]

I'm curious as to why they throw Nitrogen in with the Micros

 

[HappyTreeFarm]

i asked them to add it to the test, i think its just where they have room for it, its alphabetical order

As far as ive seen, using gyp wont raise S for very long. Sulfate leaches quickly. I have also heard cannabis likes S and can handle a lot.

Thx for that, your right the sulfate should bond with the other cations and push its way on out

I thought AEA said to use Accelerate all through veg at half strength, then hit em once with it full strength on the first day of flower, and one more time 2 weeks into flower, and then cease using it the rest of flower. Too much P and fish stuff to use it mid to late flower, it will effect your final quality and flavor.

From AEA

The Bud Initiation Program is designed to trigger a plant into setting more clusters (if applicable), more blossom per cluster and set more fruit. The PHT Bloom Product has a natural plant hormone (cytokinin), Sea Shield for energy and Mn, in it to stimulate root dominance and reproductive enhancements. You can apply this if you think your plants' internodes are getting too long and you are not getting enough blossoms. If you are growing a multi-blossoming crop such as tomatoes, you may want to apply this program at 25% rate periodically through the blossoming phase

Thank you

If growing a multi-blossoming crop such as tomatoes you can also increase fruit set & cluster numbers by controlling temps, generally night time ones down cooler than many might expect, I "imagine" the same holds true for other similar plants, not the whole fruiting time, just the few weeks in the beginning...their not indeterminate like most decent tomatoes

One sad mortgage lifter. I've killed every one before this so kinda stoked

 

[HappyTreeFarm]

Jidoka I've been trying to understand the EC readings on my soil. Start low around .4 then ramp up to about .8 or .9 is that correct? the mix i laid last year when planted had a EC of above 2.0 but by the end way down to .28

if you would be so kind to explain the your opinion on this process i would really appreciate it

I don't know 2c, looks like 25#'s from here

 

[reppin2c]

If I somehow fuck up and get 16 oz Toms and only 25 I'm gonna throw in the towel. Also started prepping for 2 giant pumpkins. Pretty lame but just for fun.

The ghouse got its woo treatment. Jidoka helped with the stretch formula and I added some accelerate to it. Bring on the flip

Hey, so super newbie question... I went to the aea use calculator entered rejuvenate 200sq foot plot per gallon measure and it returned something like 2.9oz and that 1 gallon should cover the whole plot. For giggles I put in 300sq foot plot and it returned the same result. Tried 50sq ft, same thing. So, clearly that's the smallest value that calculator can return. Questions:
1. Can I apply it as I prefer, as a root drench, instead of splitting 1 gallon with 2.9oz with my 60 plants in 4 gallon containers? And if so, what is the rate? Being anxious to try it out indoors I put 40ml rejuvenate in my 20gallon res and split it between all the plants. I think I might have seen some N overdose in my N sensitive BD crosses...but, I'm not sure.

2. How often should this be applied as a root drench?

3. Can it be used as a foliar and at what rates?

4. I'm in soil, Organics and, I usually PH to 6.5---same with this? Or no need?

Right now I have: rejuvenate, photomag, sea shield, sea stim, micropak 5000, pht phos, nutralive vitality, nutralive growth and, pht calcium. I'm also using the biodynamics compost tea, roots organic N fixer, hygrozyme and the whole General Organics line...most at light feeding levels and the Biothrive at 1/4 light feeding...Is there anywhere I can get a per gallon application chart for the AEA with suggestions on how regularly to use them?

Sincere thanks

KISS maybe? Sounds like you have bottle confusion going on there...

Try 1-2 tablespoon with Rejuvenate and most of the other products. It's usually beneficial to exceed their suggested rates because our crop is worth much more than regular farmers.

 

[reppin2c]

I normally use 1ml per gallon or less of multiple products. At certain points I'll jump up to 2ml per gallon to change points of interest. My soils are normally pretty close, so I'm not trying to juice anything. 50 gallons is normally 100 ml of the juice total. Foliar could be up to 50 ml per gallon total.

Rejuvenate has humacarb type shit(ledarnodite?) in it so I could see where it would chelate N.

BTW woo lmao
