Booster Nutrient EC/TDS

[jasper]

One question regarding the marijuana booster i purchased

Checking the EC when making food solution 1mill=0.4, I am not sure if this is correct as it is well below the feeding schedule.

My EC/TDS meter is calibrated correctly the base water is tap water settled at room temp for 24hrs is EC=0.1

Ph of solution is 6.3 after adding Ph adjuster

Can you confirm if this is correct or can i add more food to increase EC?

many thanks

How to use the Marijuana Booster Nutrient System

We’ve been receiving multiple inquiry’s about how to use the Marijuana Booster so here’s an online guide on how to use the Marijuana Booster Nutrient System The booster has a ratio of 1:1000. So 1ml is enough for 1 liter of water. 0.033 oz is enough for 33 oz of water. The cap is approximately 10ml or 0.33 oz making one bottle cap enough for 10 liters or 2.64 gallons. We advise using 10ml as a standard throughout the lifespan of your plants. However in a Hydro situation you can…

Marijuana Booster: Latewood breaks it down

Bottle says*; Use 10-20ml per 10 liters. This equates to 1-2 ml per liter. In gallons I recommend 4-7ml per gallon, depending on your stage of growth. A Qt. is slight less than a liter. So you can still break it down to 1-2ml per Qt. Or; Since a gallon is less than 4 liters. I come yp with 4-7ml per gallon. If you have a 5 gallon bucket; chances are that you are not using 5 gallons, but only approx. 4 gallons. This would mean that you can add 16-28ml per 5 gallon bucket solution change…

HI Mac

thanks for the reply my apologies for committing the volume.

I am working in the metric system so 1ml booster per litre of water equates to the lower EC reading

I was advised by one of the ladies in the office to add more food to lift the EC reading my concern is that the amount of food will well exceed the recommended does on the feeding and watering chart.

I would appreciate if you concur with adding more than 2ml to attain an EC reading of 1.2.

My grow in in soil and perlite ration 30% soil and 70% perlite

Yes I had read both those articles you posted before I made this post.

I hope this clarifies better for you

I personally have not had a chance to use the booster yet, so I’ll tag @latewood to this convo so he can give you his 2 cents

also i have checked my EC meter against another fertiliser mix and the EC reading is correct with the manufactures recommended EC for the advised dosage

i do not under stand why the booster does not relate at all to the feeding chart provided the EC is way to low

look forward to your knowledge and advise

After testing booster solution in 1 litre in 1 ml increments it took 4ml booster/litre to attain
EC 1.1

Questions

1. will 4ml/litre be ok to feed plants as this is double the feeding schedule recommendation
2. is the booster solution i purchased watered down or diluted? from the EC reading it appears to be 50% concentration?

look forward to your advice please

If you are targeting an exact EC of 1.2, then you add concentrate until you get to 1.2; Regardless of what is on the bottle.

You really are not doing a soil grow with 70% perlite. You are going to have to monitor how fast your medium dries up. It will be a shorter period of time between feedings.
