is your npk too high with fox farm and you're wondering if that's going to affect your taste

growing essential needs whether you need complete growing packages tents cabinets film for blacking
out grow lights hydroponics growing essentials there are no guarantees in life although i'm
pretty sure i can beat anyone's price out there just let me know hey jay i just want to say thank
you so much for posting brother means a lot so jay is a flavor connoisseur and he is growing
with the fox farm right now and he realized after watching a few videos that he's parts per million
are a little too high and he's probably shutting down his microbiology since watching a few videos
he's reduced his parts per million from 4 000 down to 2 700. and he's wondering if it's too late to
start using microbiology and he's wondering what he should do with the tap water with chloramine so
first off i actually have one product that will solve eighty percent of the issues you're going
through right now i always talk about it it's called drops of balance trust balance revert
to all man-made chemicals like chlorine back to sulfated minerals by actually changing the
chemistry of the water make sure to ph your water under seven before adding in the drops balance
in addition that drops balance is going to put a negative ionic charge around all the other
minerals in the water as it also helps complete their chemical reaction because i've already
talked quite a bit about this that fox farm doesn't use the highest quality minerals they
use the lower quality because it's a lower quality brand in the industry right now although you're
still going to get good product off of it the issue with the microbiology though is after about
900 parts per million your microbiology begins to shut down because the npk is just too high the
types of fertilizers they're putting into the bottle the microbiology doesn't eat
those fertilizers if you haven't checked out the video benefits of nitrogen i actually go
into depth showing you the chemical structure of how the natural pathway of nitrogen from the sky
to the ground and that will just give a better understanding on the type of food specifically
there is a difference you know on on the chemical structure and the microbiology notices it
and shies away from anything that isn't in that realm the issue with the micro brew the kangaroo
root or the boomerang is that all of them are the exact same product there so there's no differences
they're actually selling you the same product in three different labels that microbiology does
not survive in the liquid form after about the third day coming off the brewer so you have to
think about this right all that microbiology is suspended in water and if the water stops
circulating it begins to become stagnated and it goes from a state of aerobic to anaerobic so
aerobic is with air anaerobic is without air and i think you guys are beginning to see the issue
i'm i'm bringing to the surface right without that circulation and in that anaerobic environment all
of your microbiology in that bottle dies so what they're selling you is microbiology that is dead
and that's going to do very little to no benefit to your plants so in this situation
first off i'm not going to tell you to go out and buy new stuff because you have you already
bought this you're already in your grow i would highly recommend use up what you got and then on
your next grow adjust because i never like it when people just spend money and then they end up never
getting their money out of whatever they purchased although it's your choice obviously in this one
particular situation because i don't know how far you are away from cutting down your plants let's
say you were within four to five weeks away from cutting down your plants i would say that you're
still a little too late why is because i would recommend you purchasing a product recharge and a
product called drops of balance those two products combined together will make your fox farm work a
hell of a lot better and get a much better flavor and those would be the only two products you can
both get them online they show up quickly although if you're like four weeks into flowering then
you consider let's say a five to seven day ship time and then a 10 to 12 day turnaround
so right there you're already two weeks behind and you only have two more weeks to flowering
so i would would in this in that point consider it kind of being a waste your time unless you do
decide to keep growing after this one grow then i would say yeah definitely go purchase those two
products and start to incorporate it into your grow so the next problem you kind of have let's
say if you don't do that and this is going to be your only grow you have the next issue you have
is that you've been shocking your plants with 4 000 parts per million the whole for this entire
grow again i don't know how long the grow is but the issue with that is that you're force feeding
your plants and i've already broken down fox farms showing you all the chelating products they have
in there but the issue with that is your plan is starting to get conditioned to these higher
parts per million and if you end up lowering your parts per million because of the damage that your
plants have already had in its root system sad to say 2700 parts per million might not be enough
force feeding into the roots that in a sense are still establishing your roots in your root system
i don't know if that really makes sense it's just just your plant like anything else you know
like an addiction right your plans get used to something if you begin to wean off of them without
having a proper program you're going to go through withdrawals what i would also make sure you do
very clearly jay is you have to stay on your ph again the bet what you're doing and reducing your
parts per million is good but what you're also not doing is you're not increasing your trace minerals
which again the drops balance will do and by increasing those trace minerals is what will give
the possibility of your plants reaching a higher terpene profile in your plants but to make those
minerals available you need that microbiology in which the recharge comes in and if you don't get
rid of the chloramines then that also will inhibit or shut down your microbiology which doesn't allow
the coenzymes to be created with the all the other boosted trace minerals so to just kind of go back
and recap on what are your options option one is to keep doing what you're doing because maybe
you're not going to do another grow so then what i would recommend is just keep going with your
product of course you use the bush doctor micro blue because it can't hurt anything that's your
first option if you are going to grow again then i'd probably would buy recharge and drops
balance incorporated into your grow with your fox farm start reducing down your parts per million
closer to the thousand range and then as you use up the rest of your phosphor nutrient line
i would slowly begin to work into a dry nutrient line that you could amend your soil
with bone meal blood minerals stuff like that you amend it with the grow and the bloom focus in on
giving good clean water so it doesn't destroy your microbiology soil system that you've developed
and then work into a flowering top feed with once again using dry amendments that aren't going to
affect the colony of microbiology you've initially established i hope this video was helpful on
understanding your specific situation and what you got going on and kind of planting a couple seeds
with a couple different options for your specific situation jay you're the head grower brother
