Silica… very good for plants in hydro… you pretty much need it…
So should I use calmag with Lucas method? @peachfuzz Does hydrogaurd and dechlorinator matter when it is added?
Armor-si and then cal-mag and then micro , grow and bloom… then the rest of your additives…
That’s the way I do it. I use GH Maxi series. It’s a powder. Grow for bloom bloom for flower.
I don’t think the girls liked that jolt of liquid Kool Bloom. PPM’s jumped 100 overnight
PPM - 1100. PH - 6.0
Added 5gal water
2.5ml dechlorinator
10ml hydrogaurd
20ml pH down
PPM - 1010. PH - 5.7 @peachfuzz
There was a special going on a while back, but now I think you have to buy a lab course to get into the forum, i’m really not sure how it works. I’ll try to find out for you.
Thank you. I didn’t know if you could just buy the forum or not
Can you explain to me what you mean? Are you saying that you started out with a full reservoir with lower than 1010 ppm, it was at 1100 before the top off, and now it’s at 1010 after the top off?
What was it before the top off?
PPMs being higher before you top off the reservoir can be pretty normal.
PPM’s had been running around 1000. I added some LKB at top off, let it circulate for a good while, then checked. PPM - 1010. The next day it was 1100 and needing more water. They were drinking and not eating. I added more water and got PPM down to 1000. It was my understanding that when you had it “dialed-in” you didn’t have a wild swing in PPM and pH. Things had been running fairly smooth with only small fluctuations.
So now just let it drift upward until 6.0 and then drop it back down 5.6…
The lower ph will allow them to take up more p and k …
I just went and searched the website and cant find anything @Grandaddy013
Let’s try this
@ILGM.Roy can you provide grandaddy a link to purchase bergmans lab please?
Yeah I couldn’t find anything either
Do you get emails for signing up for the lab when you purchase seeds? I do every time i buy seeds.
The packages are at the bottom of this link. I haven’t looked at it much to see what happens when you click on one.
Why do you purchase seed elsewhere? Is it a strain thing? I bought seeds from ILGM and one didn’t germinate in 4 tries and they sent me 5 new seeds! Great service and timely deliver. Plus they have a strain for most medicinal purposes if needed. It’s not like we can only buy from ILGM, but why go anywhere else?
They even have great mods (for the most part)
Bergmans lab is part of ILGM. It’s just a private forum that you have to pay to use. But it has more features.
Oh I didn’t even see the name of the place lol. Now it makes sense.
