Blah's First Ppk

[Mr Blah]

I wanted to show my root mass and how it has been growing. I notice still growing some roots in the tailpipe. If I veg too long they grow down through. For me, 6-8weeks are the magic amount with the least.
Also a shot of one room with my gg-4. I love the growth structure and the ease of clonning. The others if you can see them are SD, NYPD and g-13.

Just a little update; the Gorilla Glue #4 from that last post's picture dried in at 1.75#. Not bad with 3 600's surrounding it.

god I love PPk.

Got a little bit of a problem. I just got a replacement bag of Jack's (10/30/20) which I thought was the only kind. Thing is I can't remember which one I originally had which is in the measuring cup placed in the new Jack's.
Anyone know what Jack's it is?
Also if I use this 10/30/20, what will do if I still do 1/2cup (this Jack's) and 1/2cup Yara calcium nitrate with 44gals of RO water.

Can't even get it anywhere. Had to order from Ebay as a last ditch effort.
Oh well. I am posting this so I or anyone else can reference back to.

I purchased directly from JR Peters. A tub though, not a bag.

Griffin's Greenhouse might still sell the bags and there is one in Gray, ME.

Ya, I know where Griffins is cool place.
I all ready place the order so next time.
I checked today on Jrpeters site, didn't see it. Only thing I saw with a google search was the one and only one on Ebay.

Little update; plants are slowly recovering from an issue with PPM's and PH.
It seems when I originally got my Jacks 5-12-26 about a yr ago it tinted my water a little blue when mixing just a few gallons. Which was fine, cause I never seen the stuff previously.
When I had to re-order the same jacks from the same place it now tints the water a little red.

I checked my PPMs and PH after adding the same amount I have been all yr with the first jacks. (1/4cupJ/1/4cup yaraLiva)
It was so high I can't believe I they have been growing all yr like this. I took some peoples advice as to just add to the RO water this amount and walk away. I did check the PPMs and PH at the beginning and it was spot on. Now it is way out of range.
LIKE; 2000PPMs and 6.1 PH. I have RO .5 coming out. now mixing only 5tsp of each Jack and yaraliva with about 5ml of PHdown to get 600ppm and 5.6ph.

I think the only way to get rid of this high PPM with plants in the system is to drain and refill. Repeat if necessary.

Not sure. But I am doing a change out every run. I will let you know how it goes in the near future.

Any other ppkers have issues like this?

 

[Mr Blah]

Finally after flushing 3-4 times in each system I have got a hold of the PH and PPMs being out of wack.
Steering the PH down as there still might be a little residual build up still there.
I have to ph down the rez tanks to 5.3 in order to get 5.7-8 in the control bucket.

Oh well things are nice and green now.

Back to PPK being awesome.
