Week 3:
I’ll catch you up on the deets. This little lady is a clone who was meant to be kept as a “bonsai†mother, but I changed my mind. I have one mother left so I transplanted this one into the Veg tent. Usually I top while the nodes are still symmetrical and scrog it out. I didn’t want to cut this one all the way back so I decided I wanted to see what she could do if I just bent her sideways and let her grow across the tent. No topping, but I will be building a new screen to go on top of her in the next couple days.
My nute line: I don’t use salt based nutes. Nectar for the Gods isn’t branded as organic, but it isn’t salt based either. I feed the soil and microbes, and they in turn feed the plant.
My feed schedule goes “feed, feed, tea†and repeats over and over, with microbes added once a week to one of these feeds. And what I feed per gallon of water always depends on what the plant needs. Sometimes it needs more or less of something and the feed is adjusted from that concept. Most nutrient schedules are set in stone, feeding the same amount every time, mine is simply more fluid. I’m not knocking on anyone’s method. I’m just doing my own thing 🙂
I also don’t check PPM very often. Only if it’s needed or first signs of a problem. It’s also a different process with Nectar. You take slurries from soil around the root zone as opposed to checking water run off. Also when using Nectar you never have to flush (or very rarely). There are only trace amounts of salts made and therefore flushing is never needed. All forms of nutrition exchanged between the plant and microbes in the soil are used in one way or another and never compromises the root zone. I’ve been doing Nectar for years now and I’ve never had a pH problem or lockout.
