Whats your PPM at?? And what type of water are you using? RO, Tap or a combination of both??

[marshallb77]

at the moment i have know idea what my ppm is at but i do mix 20-25ml of ej grow along w/ 5ml of catalyst and once in a while 5ml of microblast per gallon. i am saving for a ppm or ec meter.

Im using the Earth Juice too with a ph of 7.5 myself. And this was after i ph ed my nutes to 6.5, which knocked down my ph .1:wtf:

Are you using the entire line of the EJ?

:rasta:

[marshallb77]

yeah i have the whole line now but in veg i had only grow micro and catalst.

[marshallb77]

yeah i think my soil ph i probly terrible. my sunshine mix #1 was a bad choice because it stays wet so long that i cut back on the amount of water going in and i dont get enough run off to test..............i should have stayed w/ botanicare and coco, everythings going to crap now

Sorry to hear that man, iv heard good and bad on the Sunshine 1 stuff. Hell i gotta go 45 min to get to a hydro store for any real good soil. I have been using something from a nursery, which i added a shit load of perlite to it. I did get 5 gallons of perlite for 5 bucks from them which was cool.

My issue is trying to figure out how to use the damn Ph pen, iv never used one before. I only grew inside once and just used pre ferted soil, but the grow turned out great. I just only used water through out the grow and worked great. But iv grown more outside then inside, but was robbed twice this year so its indoor for awhile. They know my grow areaand i lost close to 3lbs.


Good luck:rasta:

Hey have you tried the Organic Gem This stuff is easy to use and is really cheap for what it will do for you. It out performs 10-10-10 plus it has over 70 trace minerals. If you are starting to see mold or bugs on the leaves you can foliar with it and it has always knocked the problem for me.
