both them names asteroid and wormhole sound great . so if i understand u use rootexcell and vj at the same time? with b52 for veg. i never used the root excell before would u say its a must have. and will keep usin it. shit is expensive as fuc by me . i will only pick up on ur word bro . right now im veggin with ab b52 vj gonna add the rhino

 

[dominicangreen]

I would name the pk leaning pheno asteroid, and the haze leaning version worm hole. I also like "The Monolith" from space Odyssey 2001, and 2010 for the balanced pheno

well theres still time to come up with something we'll see what happens

plenty of skirt on the ward! certainly found your true nature there sir......OUTSTANDING

thanks bro

the roots excelurator is a must if you want the biggest roots ever..i use the voodoo juice together with it.the Roots Excelurator seems like its not much for the price but its 1ml per gallon it last you more the VJ.


and now some flash porn 10 gal room 31 days

last run at 32 days seems theres more leaves and now theres more bud sites on this run

looks like i'm heading for more yield this time around

very nice your gona have the best smoke.she is a must have in a garden..


here is 20 gal room at 38 days.i cant tell what room is going to yield more

Nice
Dam good thing you have a trimmer I couldnt imagine that by hand with your free styling let her grow style going on

good thing it would take a week to cut this with 2 men never again do i want to do this without a trim machine hahaha!

people i have a nice read i found on PH

Ammonium/Nitrate Ratio

Ammonium/Nitrate Ratio




Nitrogen is the building block of amino acids, proteins and chlorophyll. Plants can absorb nitrogen either as Nitrate (NO3-) or Ammonium (NH4+), and therefore, the total uptake of nitrogen usually consists of a combination of these two forms.

The ratio between Ammonium and Nitrate is of a great significance, and affects both plants and soil/medium.

For optimal uptake and growth, each plant species requires a different ammonium/nitrate ratio. The correct ratio to be applied also varies with temperature, growth stage, pH in the root zone and soil properties.


Effect of Temperature on the Absorbtion of Nitrogen

First we need to understand the different ways these two nutrient forms are metabolized:

Ammonium metabolism consumes much more oxygen than metabolism of Nitrate. Ammonium is metabolized in the roots, where it reacts with sugars.

These sugars have to be delivered from their production site in the leaves, down to the roots.

On the other hand Nitrate is transported up to the leaves, where it is reduced to Ammonium and then reacts with sugars.

At higher temperatures the plant's respiration is increased, consuming sugars faster, making them less available for Ammonium metabolism in the roots. At the same time, at high temperatures, Oxygen solubility in water is decreased, making it less available as well.

Therefore, the practical conclusion is that at higher temperatures applying a lower Ammonium/Nitrate ratio is advisable.

At lower temperatures Ammonium nutrition is a more appropriate choice,because Oxygen and sugars are more available at root level. In addition, since transport of Nitrate to the leaves is restricted at low temperatures, basing the fertilization on Nitrate will delay the plant's growth.


Plant Species and Growth Stages

As we already established, sugars need to be transported down from the leaves to the roots to meet the Ammonium.

In growing fruits and plants in which the majority of the growth is in the leaves (e.g. Chinese cabbage, lettuce, spinach), sugars are consumed quickly near their production site and are much less available for transport to the roots.

Thus, Ammonium will not be efficiently metabolized and use of a lower Ammonium/Nitrate ratio is preferred.


The Effect of Ammonium/Nitrate Ratio on pH in the Root Zone

Electrical balance in the root cells must be maintained, so for each positively charged ion that is taken up, a positively charged ion is released and the same is true for negatively charged ions.

Thus, when the plant takes up Ammonium (NH4+), it releases a proton (H+) to the soil solution. Increase of protons concentration around the roots, decreases the pH around the roots.

Accordingly, when the plant takes up Nitrate (NO3-) it releases bicarbonate (HCO3-), which increases the pH around the roots.

We can conclude that uptake of Nitrate increases pH around the roots while uptake of Ammonium decreases it.

This phenomena is especially important in soil-less media, where the roots may easily affect the medium pH because their volume is relatively large compared with the medium's volume. To prevent medium pH from rapidly changing, we should keep an appropriate Ammonium/Nitrate ratio, according to the cultivar, temperature and the growing stage.

It is noteworthy that under certain conditions, the pH may not respond as expected due to nitrification (conversion of Ammonium into Nitrate by bacteria in the soil). Nitrification is a very rapid process, and the added ammonium may be quickly converted and absorbed as Nitrate, thus increasing pH in the root zone, instead of decreasing it.


The Effect of Ammonium/Nitrate Ratio on the Uptake of Other Nutrients

Ammonium is a cation (positively charged ion), so it competes with other cations (Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium) for uptake by the roots. An unbalanced fertilization, with too high Ammonium content, might result in Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies. Potassium uptake is less affected by the competition.

As already mentioned, Ammonium/Nitrate ratio may change the pH near the roots. These pH changes may affect solubility and availability of other nutrients.

more great info bro . i love it i never stop reading learning about this shit. im always the how why what guy. i prob opened up every piece of equipment i got and put it back together to learn about its workings and repair. i currently got a sawzall in amillion pieces infront of me that crapped out a few months back im fuckin with. are the rooms exactly the same except the gal size. im curious on ur results if it makes a difference. i fell in love with hydrosuns pk in the seperate 5 gal, and still think it my fav pic of the plant on here, i like the single plant shot i dont think his 30 gal came close to matchin it.,
got the 25oml root excell 2day 1ml per gal is great

haha! i'm the same open shit and fixing it to make it work better then factory made it..its nice to always learn eh..your roots are going to blow up man hope your ready for that shit bro see i told you that the price tag wasnt as bad as voodoo juice..you have 250 gallon mix of roots excellurator..i always make sure that PH is around 5.5-6.8 when adding benifecials like
voodoo juice,piranha,turantula,roots excellurator
certain ph levels shock them so keep that in mind if you didnt know

Perfect health!

damn DG still killin shit! love your setup...just a massive sea of colas. good luck with your dusting ventures...im down as fuck for some asteroid! im getting some LVPK soon too cant wait to see how she does...

Men are jealous of other men for a lot of things these days. Usually it's women, money ect., but with me....IT'S YOUR DAMN GROW ROOMS!

WOW, great job! Freakin inspiring..

 

[dominicangreen]

Perfect health!

you said perfect and i agree cant believe only 20 plants in there lol

damn DG still killin shit! love your setup...just a massive sea of colas. good luck with your dusting ventures...im down as fuck for some asteroid! im getting some LVPK soon too cant wait to see how she does...

i'm a murderer still killing it eh..you will be very happy how she performs..

HEY man! i'll share my wife with you but not my grow rooms man,hahaha!!!
thanks bro

 

[dominicangreen]

lots of frost in the 20gal room at 38 days look at the upper fan leaf geting covered in frost

 

[Gsizzle]

Yeh man good work for sure glad things are on track. Always good to see a grow with great genetics, knowledge, and dedication for perfection. Keep it rolling......

 

[BigGreen]

Frosty as ever

thanks bro i play hard and glad to see people enjoy my journey's

Frosty as ever

taking her to 56 days so still have about 2 weeks left so she should frost up alot more..its going to be a frosty winter

That is just UNFAIR! I've been watching this strain for over seven years and dozens of growers and never had one that frosty!

i will be giving you a master in this some tips on how i do it but the truth has always been in every post how i mix and what i do.
you may not like what i'm about to say but time to let go of General Hydroponics and get with pot growing nutes if the right amount of nutrients are not met then the magic of your hands will not let you perform at your best
