2018 Autumn Autos-dropped 8/27

I discovered PP while looking for calcium supplements that were free of NPK. Then, once I understood what it really did, I decided it sounded like an extremely useful addition to growing.

Their full line is definitely a bit much, for me, though it is intriguing.

If it’s that long video where he goes over every product, they touch on PP briefly. Very briefly.

The Persophones is good stuff. I’m using the Romans regimen for NFTG. I love the product but yes, it is a bit tedious. Although I’ve been using it for awhile, I’m using it for my first quantum board grow this time.

I freaking LOVE Idiocracy. I watch it at least once a year, and it has never failed to amaze me how it’s somehow closer to reality each time I watch it. :joy:

President Camacho declares that today, blackthumbbetty will feed her plants with the bubbly toilet water she has prepared!

I was going to let it bubble for between 30-40hrs, but the girls are telling me they want food, today. At the very least, they want their calcium. After bubbling for 18 hours, the pH was at 6.0. I decided to add 3.5ml of Persephone’s Palate (instead of 1ml…didn’t do the proper math, first time), which dropped the pH to 5.8. I added 1/2 cup plain r/o water, and brought the pH up to 6.0.

I gave Jamaican Berry, Sour Melon, and Bloody Skunk 6 tbsp of the solution. I also gave Sweet Tooth and Blue Dream 2 tbsp each. I spritzed everyone’s foliage with plain water, too. The baby-babies got a thorough misting, both leaves & promix.

Currently, the dome is off & the oscillating fan is going on low.

Right now, I’m aiming for a pH of 6.0-6.2, with the promix. Since I’m doing the organic thing, I’m also trying not to go crazy worrying about adjusting everything so it’s perfect.

Promix growers: what pH do you use? I’ve gotten so many different answers from dozens of different sites, but 6.0-6.2 seems to be the best.

Organic growers: how much assistance do you give medium in mitigating pH issues? Do you adjust to a certain point & then trust your soil to do its job, do you not adjust at all, or do you adjust to “proper” pH at all times?

I was planning on trying to go with 6.0-6.2 pH. When watering, I plan on adjusting to that range. When feeding, I plan on adjusting so it’s at least w/in a point of that range, preferably higher, than lower.

Please tell me if I’m on the right track or not. :grinning:

I’ve been asking everyone in the lab about the proper Ph for Promix, and it seems the consensus is 6.3 to 6.5, so more like soil than hydro.

So many different answers! I’ll try 6.2-6.4, in the future. With going organic, not sure how much I need to worry about pH, as long as it’s not too wonky. I mean, everyone says pH isn’t a worry with organic grows, but since pH has been drilled into me as something to vigorously check, I am wary about not worrying. Does that make sense?

Luckily, promix tends to swing up through pH while it dries, so it is a bit more forgiving of minor flubs.

Lol, yes, that makes sense! I feel the same way, but i’m not going organic. I think im just going to stick to 6.5 ph and see how it goes.

I have no idea but this banter solved one thing in my mind. I can watch both your grows and adjust accordingly. :joy::rofl::joy: And i agree. That name has to go. Ur thumbs have at least upgraded to mossy green…

It won’t let you change your name? That’s odd.
