Any current kristalon users?

[Orange's Greenhouse]

Dolomite lime. Make up a stock solution. May have to filter and bits out as used. Cal mag cheap as chips kings plant barn

Dolomite does not make concentrated solutions.
You can throw it into an agitated reservoir and it might slowly dissolve due to the acidity and other components. But that is not reliable and takes atleast a day.
It is added directly to the media for this reason. But then you need peat to offset the high pH.

True, it’s not easily dissolved without acid.

 

[Ca++]

The only pH drop here, was the low K. The most stable pH, was generally the high Ca.
The high K went rocketing, eclipsed only by the low N&Ca.

I had my N thing twisted. I did give it with a warning.

This was a dwc over a week, with the water level corrected mid week.

This highlights the pH drop is likely from soft water and low feed levels.

Yeah mate. Just an idea hey, cheap and cheerful. Cheap always means more Fkn around usually fme but in saying that fuck canna and grow store nutes(waste of money)

Ha yeah grow store nutes aren't really on my radar I went into this thing with the mindset of if there's pH issues I'll find a way to correct it. What do you use if you don't mind me asking? Not a lot of options for bulk ferts down these ways..

PGG Wrightson gets my fert dollars...

pH does come in about right for me at 1:1 kristalon/Calcinit. It's only when I start dropping the Calcinit that it starts to need more adjustment. Perhaps I'll add calcium sulfate to bring Ca back up, which was kind of the plan anyway but I don't actually think I did

Or I could always just run 1:1 right through flower see how that goes. High N I found darkens the buds, I prefer that light green fluro look that seems to come with nutrient fade

PGG you must be rural

I stopped indoor years ago. Prefer the outdoor smoke myself

Masterton man so I guess depending where you're from it could be considered rural . haven't tried doing much outdoor myself. Don't wanna do it at home and compromise my indoor, don't wanna invest too much in doing guerilla style either. Weed is weed at the end of the day to me mostly all does the same shit and I'm a super lightweight lol. Aesthetics and aromas are probably more important to me than the high tbh

What's the go to recipe for the outdoor? Know a guy grows huge plants from imported seed every year in a greenhouse using 4 basic as products. Best outdoor by miles I've ever seen, some of it could pass as indoor...

mastervegas, that’s an outer suburb of welly these hey

Fairy muff mate … I’m the opposite tbh

^^^ that’s the way right there!

Pretty sure we just make city classification lol. Most of it goes out the door so that's largely why I guess

I know where you're coming from tho. I actually have some sativa dominant strains I've yet to do precisely for that reason, Try find aspects of the sativa high, without the shitty yields and long grow times generally associated with. Had some blue dream a while back that was pretty nice. Mostly grow pineapple express (60% sativa) as it's piss easy to grow, move.. great bag appeal of dense as shit buds

Last thing I want is a few lb of stuff no one wants

From a mate or ya grow it?
Never tried it myself

Heard of it, seen it around but only smoked it once and don’t remember much about it tbh

True … been noticing that cheap innies floating around down there or is it just a Aucks thing?

 

[967]

Been heaps at 3k lbs, some actually decent shit the bro was getting at 2k. No one can sell it. I'm moving it at 5/1k but it's moving . Can't beat em join em lol. Most people I know don't wanna drop price that low but on kristalon my cost to return ratio is much better

Bro it’s like that hey….. I tell ya get that greenhouse ready legalization is close af

 

[967]

I'm desperately keen to cross my (limited) knowledge and experience of ppk hydro with the power of the sun in a greenhouse. I can't be assed with soil, nothing against it but I've been full hydro 10 odd years and hand water coco before that. Actually been meaning to build one for other stuff but I pissed around so it looks like a spring project now anyway

Everyman and his dog gonna be keen on it!
Look what happened with the yanks, shit will be worthless not long after legalization.

Do you know something I don't? Wouldn't be hard I haven't followed current affairs in years

Gut instinct…. Talk to the yanks mate they’ll tell ya how our future plays out…. They just lived it

 

[967]

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Sure it should be legal but they're just gonna try to take control of something already happening. Be a $ based decision with regulation and control caveats over a social/moral/rights based approach

I could be wrong, just a hunch...

Na I reckon you’re spot on.
Will still be illegal to home grow I bet. Fuck if it was free for all would be worth tomato money hey

 

[967]

That's what I'm thinking they don't want us growing our own shit it'll be unsafe etc . But $30 a gram at the corner store so heavily taxed the grower might as well have been growing tomatoes cos he's struggling either way... The new tobacco tax

I sorta considered steering myself in that direction. But I know they would just suck the joy out of it and would grow to hate it in a legal above board sense. If they did an independent america style thing where you supply who you want, pay tax at the end of the year I'd be keen to give it a go. But I'm happy on this side of the fence for the foreseeable future

I mean maybe that's ancient times it was like that. But I liked the concept...

 

[FTL]

Would be really cool if they just hey anyone can grow and sell it just pay some tax easy as. Won’t happen though the money boys will make sure it doesn’t. Shit thing is the countries that have gone legal it seems quality has gone down unless you grow it yourself…. Would be interesting to hear comments from the Americans about this
