P
has anyone tried using this formula in RW? salt build up is an issue in any media and i imagine that RW would hold the most salts. Since sodium is used to create any dry, powder type nutrient, it seems like it could be a bad idea for such high retention media such as RW.
i just received my 1lb bucket and am looking for any experienced growers with RW feeding V+B before i feed. my plan is to root in 6" grodan blocks then into my ebb n flo buckets so i don't have to use so much hrydroton.
I tell all people first trying V+B to do yourself a favor and on the first run to use ONLY V+B and see what you get. It is COMPLETE! Plenty of silica in several forms as well!! No Cal/Mag is needed but can be used if you want to supplement cal/mag.
V+B also contains many organic compounds and it is not a "all chemical nutrient". It contains amino acids, cytokinns, humics, and as mentioned contains the best fulvic isolate on the market, or should I say the most bio-active.
You can use tea's with V+B if you like using tea's and bennies. But really to be fair to yourself, you should try the first run with only V+B and see what you get. Most get the cleanest product that they have ever grown, best tasting and bigger yields even.
Any of you know whether or not the Veg+Bloom will kill any Mychorrizae? I have heard it will. The company says it wont. Obviously they say that but im curious.
Been feeding the veg @ 1.5 is defenatly helping they've stopped the K def on newer growth & they've doubled their size in a weeks time . Thanx for your Help Rives & everybody
I cannot help it I gotta say something. K is the most mobile mineral in a plant...if you cut a plant and lay it on the ground and water it, K will flow out of the plant into the ground...that is how mobile it is.
K deficiencies show up in old growth...not new. The plant will translocate K to new growth every time. Plus this formula has a ton of K...of all the things you could get a K def ain't one.
If you wanna see if you actually have a K def take a brix meter and measure brix in new leaves and old...if there is more than a 10% difference (and the old leaves will always be lower than the new) you have a def. I am willing to bet no one can find that with this nute...period.
You might have a Mg def, or a P def cause the K is so high...but that is another story.
That was net prophets original setup. He rocked the hell out of it with RW. He just complained about the roots getting to thick in the blocks and was worried it might be stunting them
