How we all doin here in the DGC lands ? First off, I’d like to take a few minutes and give y’all a lil bit of my appreciation by saying thanks to all not only for all the diverse information, the time and dedications y’all give to the people but for actually being decent humans and genuinely caring for the folks down here in prohibition land and helping growers mount up with the tools needed for success. Scotty, Guru, Dude and whoever else involved with the task deserve more than an award y’all are truly great… My question, it’s came time to flush out my girls. Now what I did was place my pots on top of empty 5 gal buckets so I could collect the large amounts of water after it passes through my media. Is this run off water okay to use on other plants? Seems like this would be a great source of water carrying a lil something somethin (nutes, beneficial microlife) long as it didn’t stag out. Can y’all shed some light on this plz and thank you
It depends what kinds of plants you plan to use it on. I wouldn’t recommend using it on other cannabis plants due to the fact that it can be out of wack NPK wise. As it goes thru the media the plants will take out certain minerals and use them up so the same ratio you put in may not be the same coming out as run off. Also it can fluctuate the ppm as well. Guru I’m sure can shed more light than I, but I’d just not use it on cannabis plants. Don’t think it would hurt some house plants tho. Probably just check the pH and ppm first and possibly dilute it before feeding it to them. Stay Smoking stay Growing.
I take my runoff and throw it on the front yard. Best looking lawn in the neighborhood. I agree with Saintloud, I wouldn’t use it on other cannabis plants. But you should be fine to use it on potted house plants or plants around your yard.
We use watered down runoff around the house but you don’t want to reuse it on Cannabis. The Nutrient Element Ratio is out of wack and it can cause deficiencies or nutrients in excess can lock other nutrients out like Calcium. Thats usually the one that gets noticed first
I wouldn’t use it on your other cannabis plants. As the ratio of what’s left in there is a mystery and could cause imbalance. Which in turn can lead to lockout. If you have house plants you could use it on them.
Yes but be sure to dilute it a bit as it will probably have high levels of nutes and if you are using synthetics there will also be salt build up.
