My appreciation for cannabis made me appreciate the bio and chem classes in high school I was able to take being able to understand what he saying even tho the classes were years ago now.
Growing hydroponically the best method i have found for finding proper nutrient level,,check ph 12 hours after feeding ,,generally if ph spikes not enough nutes if ph drops too much nutes,,hydro grow the sooner you figure this out the sooner your grow starts really being productive
Wow I'm so glad I found this video. It gave me a couple of things to think about. And I'm getting to an experience point whare that's kind of a long list.
seedlings dont need feed for the first couple weeks. You can gradually start introducing a cal/mag type of feed after that at low rates (~200-300ppm) depending on your grow medium.
hello can you tell me what i'm doing wrong. I watered the plants according to table ec, much less fertilizer than recommended by the manufacturer. about 1-1.2 ec. In the last watering with clean water about 0.8 ec water that flowed from the pot had ec 2.8-4.0 now I noticed that the leaves have symptoms of excess elements. what to do now? to pour distilled water? How can I avoid it in the future?
the runoff is higher due to built up nutrients, no do not water with distilled water it leads to even more burns because of the osmosis effect, water them with a fifth strength solution with a 20-30% runoff and be careful that the pot doesn´t sit in the runoff water because the medium will reabsorb it. ps. to avoid it in the future always water with runoff (also do not let it reabsorb) if you do grow in coco or rockwool do not let them dry out completely as it will deposit salts into the medium
Thank you for saying that about feeding each day in smaller doses, higher nutrient. I'm in coco doing organics (earth juice) and I keep running into nutrient deficiency. I'm feeding everyother day...I keep forgetting after 2years of using coco don't treat it like soil. Water everyday. But I'm confused really because I'm using organics I understand earth juice is enzyme based but don't they still need time to sorta break down and be used? That's why I'm not feeding everyday. I guessing I'm wrong for not watering each day?
organic fertilizer also do contain ions which are read by the ec media for example lime which has calcium oxide as an ingredient ( calcium being the metal and oxygen the nonmetal) and metals are conductive which are read by the EC meter , except if it´s a substance like urea which is made of nonmetals, also EC is just an indicator as it won´t tell you which ions are present
I have a question about nutrients. If I have 10-10-10 and let's say a 12-18-25, and do an EC test with the result being at 1.2. Are the results the same, or is one stronger in reality? I am getting lost in the trees with all this stuff as I try to figure out what is destroying my plants after the cotyledon leaves drop.
The results are not the same. The EC might be the same but the ratio of your nutrients are different. It's the ratio of your nutrients that is killing your plants. He talks about it at 3:27 in the video.
The only way you will gain weight if you eat to much fat is if you are also consuming mass amounts of sugar on top of the fat. If you don’t add the sugar. Ure body will burn the fat. Simple keto diet... u feel better too I’ve heard. But I LOVE my sugars... lol
In My country tab water ppm=616, n Rain water ppm=1848 I want to grow Lettuce (ppm 560-840) if I use tap water it’s middle level but rain water is higher level . I don’t know How to mix solution A &B ? Please help me.
rainwater shouldn´t have a ppm of 1848, that´s way to high. according to your ppm you would need 18 liters of rainwater and 82 liters of tapwater for a solution of 100 liters with 840ppm for 750ppm you need 11 liters rainwater and 89 liters tapwater
@@Des420 plants do like consistency of you keep them at a pH of 5,5 they get all their nutes they want besides that all the nutrition is already plant available so they do not need bioprocesse to convert their "food" into a "digestible" form,. but one can use the pH to alter the diet of the plant if they have a toxicity of potassium you can lower the pH so they absorb less potassium without having to change the nutrients
@@Humbulla93 There's no reason to chase a magic number. Ph will drift slightly no matter what, and as long as you keep it between 5.5 and 6'ish there's no need to keep making micro adjustments that are worse than a little drift. Availability isn't at a set point, but over a range.
What ppm do you need for growing? High low? Like an average. I've two 3 month plants currently locked out. Done a flush, got ph right but not sure what ppm I need. Ones 450 ish The other was 800 but fished again came Down to 600 then.
@@jh772 and depending on plants if we talk about cannabis, "sativas" like a lower EC and "indicas" can tolerate a higher EC, best practice is to have a moderate EC and if they look hungry just raise the EC a bit
thompson guess you grow skimpy plants as well..the shittiest of buds will fall over as well without proper staking so that means Jack shit..those plants aren't shit compared to how we do these days...like I aaid..those are trash. Real cannabis cultivators know what um talkin about..

I really like the way this guy explains everything. He does it in such a humble manner. Cheers!
Ty
This is the best explanation I have ever heard. Who is this guy
good so ill take the time to watch it
Me too
@@getstonedtalksports YA THIS WAS AMAZING COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL DAY

I like this guy...
Vey informative. Great sharing.
Ohh man who is this guy?
Can you please do more videos with him? Very educational

Awesome stuff.
very interesting, thank you.
Love this guy. Very knowledgeable with experience, what more could you ask for?
It also helps that Peter asks excellent questions like he always does.
I'll be watching you... Thank You...
GREAT CONTENT WOW I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT
Really good information, thank you
Solid video!!! 🤙🏽
Mark u absolutely 💯 ❤ ♥ 💖 legend 👏 🙌
thanks
Thank lots Sir
..very helpful...
can you explain how ec works in soil or a sterile substrate like coco or rockwool?
thanks, Appreciated
What should my ppm be for seedlings my first grow I don't know nothing please help

Another great show... man peter yu been out here... this 3years ago..

What?
I dont know what I did wrong but my leaves are turning black. Not little black spots but almost whole leaf. It was fine last night..I'm gonna cry...
good video

Terrell Russell are you flushing every couple weeks? Monitoring Ph? Those two things can cause deficiencies if left alone
My understanding is that organic fertilizer don’t have as much salt or none. Would this mean that a ppm and/or nc a will read differently
organic fertilizer also do contain ions which are read by the ec media for example lime which has calcium oxide as an ingredient ( calcium being the metal and oxygen the nonmetal) and metals are conductive which are read by the EC meter , except if it´s a substance like urea which is made of nonmetals, also EC is just an indicator as it won´t tell you which ions are present

@@kortboethig8398 Ahem, no that doesn't work like that because no nutrient is going to go up to take the place of one the plant is using up.

So fluctuations in ph should be beneficial
@where the chief Yes. A little pH drift in hydroponics is a good thing.

Acaully learned somthing
what is a toxic ec to ppm ???????? or just toxic ec level?
you want ec reading in your pot to bout. 59- you want to barly burn the tips literally..
EC in feed you want to holding 2.4, n alight raise it
So like >1.9 is bad n
anything above EC = 2,4
Harvey Keitel grows cannabis now?
Haha thought the same
What ppm do you need for growing? High low?
Like an average.
I've two 3 month plants currently locked out.

Ones 450 ish
The other was 800 but fished again came Down to 600 then.
Cuttings 0.6 ec veg plants 0.6-1.4 flowering plants 1.2-2.0. Depending on environment. A grow with co2, top end lights will allow higher ec.

Could be too much light, or just heat- lots of reasons

No offense bud but your plants don’t look healthy and how do you get pm on them outside?
Those plants behind him are trash..kinda hard to take anyone seriously who stands in front of plants of that caliber
how are they trash? you cant even see them that well and nugs in the background are so heavy its leaning over/ some are tied up..
