If your using the liquid bottled nutes then it shouldn’t really matter if its exhausted I would have thought.

Was thinking of adding it into my coco blend to stretch my coco out a bit more.

The bridgelux tent is all ready for next round.

How have you fastened the fans to the poles?

2 Likes

The wire base for the fans actually slips in around the pole and that’s pretty much enough to hold it up. Sometimes I put a small spring clamp on the pole to stop the fan from sliding down.

Thanks man, I have the same fan.
Fkn poet nd I know it! :joy:
Gonna try that instead of just having mine on the floor.

I ran Maxibloom K.I.S.S style (plus silica) for a while, and really liked it for the most part. I keep a 2lb bag on hand, because it’s convenient for if at any point I run out of the stuff I’m using now or want to “reset” a grow with something I have more experience with, and being a dry fert is perfect for long term storage.

Probably the only significant drawback for me was that it drives the pH down pretty hard, so having to adjust it isn’t as convenient as what I’m using now. For people who aren’t bothered by that, you can get some great results pretty easy, and the price is good imo.

I want to experiment with silica products. Looking for something low cost that will last some time. Have added too many variables recently so need to get those dialed in before adding anything else.

I use protek silica, and buy it by the liter, I think it was under 20$ the last time, lasts about a year.

My mistake I have Grotek Pro-silicate 0-0-4 got the gro and pro crossed :upside_down:

Thanks, will look for it next trip to the hydro store, they have Cyco Silica there but it’s closer to $30. I think they have alot of the Grotek stuff though too. One of our local shops has been “closed for renovations” now for a month it sucks because it’s really close (down the street from the hospital). The other one is 2 towns over.

Yip the same stuff I use too, works well, cheap and lasts.
I use it as a foliar spray, then perk right up after spraying

Cheers I will give that a try to the blueberry CBD that has a potassium deficiency, by pass the ground and straight into the plant. Do you keep the dosage the same as watering?

2 Likes

No I don’t, it has directions on bottle for foliar spray.
I spray every 2 to 3 days, not sure how often you should but that seems to work for me.

I will check out the jug instructions, they will get some today.

Do you guys have agsil. It’s a powder that can be mixed to make the pro-tek.

You Canadians are hard to shop for!

Plants look great Trev!

Just got caught up. Glad you got through the issues at the beginning! I’m planning on running that FAM pack and possibly some dark sparks my first run once I find a place to live and build my box (wife is adamant about no tents…). I’ll have to keep an eye out for the intersex. My pack is mixed, so I’ll just have to check em all lol. Really nice haul you got out of all of that though!

Hell yeah there are some other really great strains in that FAM mix too. You’ll know if you get a GTxSBR as they are very consistent, shape-wise.

Hope you get settled in soon and growing that dank!!

@MidwestMover AgSil not easily available up here, or any other form of water soluble potassium silicate for that matter. I find it ironic that Canada has so many regulations about ferts and pesticides, not to mention the huge import tariffs we pay out for the stuff we ARE allowed to import, but then they allow alot of the same or similar products, in bottled form, which has a much larger environmental impact. How is it that availability of these things is so poor in the land of legal weed? So frustrating sometimes. /rant lol
