Tap water that's 7-8 pH, 60-160 ppm
2grams 9-10-28 (AN Sensi Grow Part A salts)
(not a fan of this ratio, especially going into flower, too much nitrogen, and a weird N: P ratio)

1gram mag sulfate
0.7grams pot sulfate.
0.4 grams Citric Acid to pH to 5.8-6.1 for flower.

Unfortunately, nitrogen is pretty bioavaiable the entire pH range we'd be using.



Need to switch to MPK + micros, gotta buy some.

550 ppm/ 1.1 E.c / 5.9 pH 1.5ml hypo acid, 5ml 3% h²o²

450 PPFD
70RH% / 80 F°
Water temp 75F
2s on / 2:15 off currently.
2 fans on max setting

Need to replace that back quick connect, I think it's just fucking up the nozzle, clogging it with plastic, I think.

Damn dude! It's real hard for me to follow you when u get this crazy specific. Can u do a dumbed up version? lol

Added more data too lol

Anything specific?

I grow with salts ,and can pretty closely control what exactly the plant gets or doesn't.

And I use the "sterile" route, currently.
Using hypochlorous acid AND h2o2 to try and keep things sterile, any pathogens and root rot controlled.

some say just use one or the other, but ive been experimenting with combining both and if the dosages are right its good(?)
 

You want some certain NPK ratio for Veg, and a different ratio at different stages of flowering.

The plants still use some nitrogen for photosynthesis, but not as much when we are building the buds.

Need more phosphates, sulfates, calcium and potassium, and of course the micro nutrients

I am now looking at MKP, mono potassium phosphate, something like
0-52-34 to dilute down and "feed" for flower.

the few products I've seen with MKP ratios don't include Micronutrients, probably because you can't mix some chemicals directly.

so I'll need to buy a bag of Micronutrients to go alongside the new MKP ratio, I have the magnesium salts, calcium from tap water, but I won't have iron, boron, Copper, zinc, molybdenum, manganese.

Thought about using ph range to control nitrogen uptake but nitrogen is pretty available the whole range we use.

And my nozzles are misting around 40-80um, micron size of the water droplets, hitting the root system. Needs to be consistently smaller

Currently the cycle is, 2s on, and every 2:30 minutes off.

Oh, and 11/13 light hours, ~18-25 DLI rn

I was just thinking about those nodules last night...crazy.....and similar thoughts i'm advanced open water certified, but I don't have the equipment to go 2k feet lol

No jobs you can swing with that? Cool hobby too.

Started watching the why files take on the dark oxygen nodules

Yeah, saw that too. It’s the second time he’s mentioned them. When I read about them last year or so I mentioned it to Aqua.

I did not know about the voltage they generate then, just the oxygen part but duh, that's from electrolysis.

Lol, yes, tired mind that day. Have a few duh moments now and then too.

Haven't really looked but not a bad idea.

Thought about doing saturation diving but gotta out of state for the training.

Maybe one in a chamber would generate some extra oxygen without having to do a bunch of shit.

Nature just provided it.

Would not have to worry about equipment corroding or spending money on anticorrosive materials
