Dem mt dew terps thoā¦
Wonder what Hawaiian punch will do
guanos do nothing to taste imo
Your plants look good- you probably have the sense to not overdo the use of them.
Only have ever used them as my pk boosters.
Roots hpk is what I have used most, itās just guano and langbenite.
I only run guanos and organic suppliments in my weekly tea.
Itās the opposite. Heavy water soluable organic components will increase both terpenes and growth abilities. Salts are the bare min that plants need but when extracting something that is meant to replenish the soil and make avail more nutrients organic is the way to go. Much better results. You just need to watch npk closely.
That wasnāt the guano.
Well every time I taste it it is in plants that were grown with guano. I would need a lot of convincingā¦ I find a lot of soil grown buds have to dense of a flavor profile for my tastes. I like how a coco grown salt with a little organic plant tastes. Itās like adding a drops of water to scotch, opens it up.
The types of things that can convert flavors poorly are generally types of sulphurs, liquid silica, preservative that have growth enchancers, and numerous heavy compounds that donāt get burned out of the plant when it grows.
There are alot of organic compounds and components that lead to the chemicals that are used in conversion on the plant that takes them to thc and terps. The more avail. The more of both you will have. Think about poo as a precursor
Great read.
I sell an OMRI organic fulvic acid supplement that has amino and organic acids, chelated minerals and trace elements that all comes from our humate deposit. I think I agree with your statement!
Let me see the stuff. I like this kind of stuff.
If he is referring to AGT-50, itās a great product. I am always skeptical of additives, but I absolutely noticed the difference with the plants I use it on in a couple of waterings.
Brought a bunch of sorry looking house plants back to life, and my grow is super happy with it.
This is a great subject.
I donāt grow anymore but when I did people were just discovering Jackās formula and the idea of making their own nutrients from dry salts.
Has anyone on this forum been at it long enough to recognize the screen name Spurr from ICMag??
He wrote a computer program years ago around 2010 called Hydrobuddy that I still have on my desktop. You pick the numbers/salts you want to use and it comes up with the mixing ratios of the dry salts for you.
Iāll admit I fried more than a couple of plants trying it out.
Itās true that hydro stores are selling dolled up, overpriced water like @AgTonik said in the beginning of the thread!
I remember going into the hydro store years ago and the amount of nutrients and āspecialā additives from Advanced Nutrients alone was crazy. A whole wall of growth boosters, flavor enhancers, weight enhancers and ripening enhancers, etc.
Those companies must have been making an absolute killing in those days.
Agreed, I really want to analyze the impacts of producing these salts. Iām debating running a greenhouse hydro for the $$ aspect but at the same time do I want to continue to be exploitative. Like if I recycled coco and my pots and limited consumables besides salts, and prevented harmful run off would it still be unethical is what Iām trying to figure out
Whats unethical about growing?
Leaving the public to deal with the externalities of irresponsible practices
That just about sums it up. Origins of the nutrient production and result of run off are my primary concerns.
So you guys are living 100% off grid and renuable lifestyles?
