Latewood's Legacy: GH 3-part and CalMag tutorial and discussion

[socialistpete]

so 1-1-1 = 8ml-8ml-8ml X 5 gallons = 40ml-40ml-40ml....right?


In veg i have a 13 gallon res with 9 gallons of water...does that mean i should mix:

1-1-1 = 8ml-8ml-8ml X 9 gallons = 72-72-72 ???

Correct my young fiend!

This is what I run and you've seen the results. For flower i use 20-40-240 for my 10 gallon res, thats why I told you I use about 2 gallons of flower to each gallon of micro and gro. Also I add the kool bloom at flower and Liquid Karma to the clones feeding.

On a side note I'm just about to bottle that beer.

Latewood may now be found running hygronomics . com, which is a great resource for those of us who aim to produce our own food and live in ecological balance. While canncom is no longer his home, he and Zandor made this grow area what it is today and I've re-stuck this excellent thread because it is so valuable as a starting point for a grower looking to expand his knowledge into the water... It's good reading for all of us.

yeah man, my order of GH nutes came in today. i'll be doing a res change as soon as i get out of work. If you have a few free moments you should swing thru and see what's happening.

i have a few fun tales to tell you.

About the beer, let me know when you are gonna bottle that shit up. If you need a hand or want some company i have nothing happening after lights out (7:00 pm).

sweet deal. thanks bud.

Hey guys would you mind taking the beer talk elsewhere? Not a topic for this site. Thanks.

I'm going to be going through and cleaning up this thread to make it more approachable pretty seen.

[elskeetro]

Sorry bout the beer. I'll get back to the topic at hand.

So i got my GH 3 part Nutes today. Did a full res change on both veg and flower.

Everything seems cool except for my PPMs and i'm still learning what that's all about and how to control it.

on my veg side:

i use 9 gallons of water, so i ph'd my tap water to 5.8 and then added the 1-1-1 (72-72-72ml) to the water like i'm sure i'm supposed to. I checked the PPM and just plain water was roughly 180ppm. then when i added the nutes, it jumped up to 1100ppm. That seems high for veg to me, but i'm following the recipe...thoughts?

On the flower side i use 10 gallons of water. so i'm in week 3 of flower so i used the .25-1-2 (20ml-80ml-160ml) and my PPM is only around 1100...which seems low for flower, but i'm following the recipe...thoughts?

also, i have a full bottle of B'Cuzz PK 13-14. I'd like to use it if possible, otherwise it'll just sit around for eternity.

Does anyone have any advice on how to straighten out my PPM (if they are in fact wacky!) and any advice on adding the PK 13-14 to this mix would be appreciated as well.

thanks and sorry for noobin' on ya'll.

Theres a lot of shit in this thread but later in it latewood explains that for the flower you should use 2-4-24 for flower, which is what I've been doing try this out and see what your ppms are, but as you know I know nothing about ppm readings. I prob won't be able to stop over until the weekend unless you guys are still up around 1am, I'm sure your shit will be fine.

[elskeetro]

hmmm...i just read through the entire thread and some more board searching looking for the 2-4-24 reference and couldn't find anything. I did however find some talk about 0-1-3 and LW using hammerhead 9-18 as well as talk of other bloom boosters. That leads me to believe i'll be alright adding in a bit of pk 13-14.

Pete, i've seen your results so i'm not disagreeing with your 2-4-24 suggestion, but i think i'll stick close to what i've read with the addition of the pk 13-14 until i'm comfortable with the process, then i'll see if i can push it a bit more.

fun times. thanks all for the info.

Skeet.

[socialistpete]

Actually I think latewood might have told me that in an email I cant remember. Don't forget I also use Kool Bloom in flower.

[elskeetro]

Hmm...i do remember you saying that you used KB. Which do ou use? i did some searching and there are 2 Kool Bloom products...both are from GH, one is 2-45-28 and the other is 0-10-10? I'm thinking the latter is kinda similar to the pk 13/14 (0-13-14) but i'm not sure.

I had some issues with pk13/14 really wacking out my pH. it jump from 5.8 to 6.5 in a matter of seconds and it took me 2 teaspoons of pH down to fix it. rather discouraging.

anyways. We'll probably be harvesting the NLxS this coming week. We snipped a little lower bud to sample ahead of time. It was quite nice regardless of the quickdry and lack of curing. i can't wait to see the final product. if you have time you should check them out before they get the ol' hatchet.
