Very informative resource! From your experience, in 4" and 6" Rockwood veg can you skip p2 irrigation events? Or depending on veg duration they need to be introduced at some point? My veg time is 21 days.
When is the new Athena direct plant feeding system out? Just graft right onto the feed lines. I'd give it a go if they could get the whole system to zero waste & carbon positive. At least to the same level as permaculture.
Is there any evidence for this besides people repeating it? Like the published results of a well documented study? The irrigation window and EC stacking part changing plant growth characteristics.
@@verdeklaro9051 if you reuse it, you will get a different concentration each irrigation. Because plants already took out what they need each irrigation so the nutrients are off balance. Thats the best way to get problems.
360l of mixed water is approx 2l of pure fertiliser during veg per day with the Athena blended line. That’s around 21$ or 630$ a month.. If you increase your yield only by 0,5%-1% with this strategy it’s already profitable. From a sustainability point of view it would be better to recycle the waste water.

Thank you for this video. Awesome format
Spartan spears 🔥🔥🔥. Knowledge and insight for the consumer. Simplicity at its finest. Respect 🫡. And I love Athena ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Do handwater next
In P1, what exactly do they mean by 2-6%? 2-6% of the substrate volume?
The p2 mannn I’ve been getting crazy growth
Perfect explanation.
These vegetative dry backs are crazy (30-40%)
We typically dryback

While crop steering is “new” to the cannabis industry, these techniques have been used for many years in large scale agriculture.
We used to call it our curve
if i have 1200 plants and i need 300ml run off per day thats going to cost me 360 Liters per day of fertilizer which i throw away.. thats a lot
Reuse it foo

Time to use cheaper nutrients
@@juangutierrez9834 they are cheap compared to others here in switzerland. and the quality is unbeatable
