The Botanicare feed schedule for soil gardens is way off. If you follow it to a T you will wind up with 2000 ppm. If you half it you're at 1000 ppm. I just put out this fire with a friend who was using that schedule and burned everything. Mix up your solution at 1/4 power and check your ppm. If your soil is hot then you can see how if you 1/2 it then the active soil will raise that number. I would take the ppm of the runoff after 20% flushes through. Write that number down. Take the ppm of your water. Now add those together and then mix your nutes to be sure that you don't get past 1100. I hope that was clear if not I will re write. Good Luck!
Oh and check out WeedHound's botanicare sched!
PlantHeadJ Reviewed by PlantHeadJ on . nutrient def??? Hello good peeps. I am troubleshooting what i think is a calcium deficiency. I think the cause of this is because i have not been adding calmag to the girls. I am in soil in 4 G pots. I have well water that is at 120-130 ppm. I am running Botanicare pro bloom soil, Karma, and sweet. They are about 3 weeks into bloom and this is what i am finding. Starting from the lower branches Leaf edges have brown small spots along them. The tips also have turned rusty/brownish on the bottom half Rating: 5
