My Nutrient Solution Defends Against Pests & Kills Fungus Gnats! | Simple Hydroponics Fertiliser Mix 

Hi Pete,it took me awhile to watch this I had to put down my dog he was almost 17 years and I have been in a funk.This cheered me up ,thank you.

That jump at the start was adorable and earnt my subscription!

What was extra funny was that when you were doing the chicken dance, RU-vid decided a KFC ad would be appropriate 🐔🤣

Hey Pete, that scared me when you cut yourself! I hope you are alright! I know you are a man of science so, I would suggest using monosilicic acid instead of potassium silicate. Basically the difference is that the single molecule version is immediately available to the plant where as the salt needs to be broken down over time by bacteria because it is not able to be used in that form. If you are doing semi-hydro i wouldn't even bother with the silica product because you will change the solution before any is broken down into a form usable by the plant. You can find many online, although i wouldn't recommend using both as when the silica starts to break down it could antagonize your nutrient regime. From what I understand monosilicic acid is the nutrient that will help your plant absorb more calcium and thus all other nutrients in the uptake chain. (if this makes no sense - look up BIOCHEMICAL SEQUENCING OF NUTRIENTS, this will tell you about the nutrient uptake sequence and antagonism) You will add the Si first to the nutrient solution and let it bond with the water before adding anything else. Feel free to reply and i can give you some more information or the things i use, i got all my friends onto super si and great white myco and we have seen really amazing results. love the videos!

That chicken dance gave me life!!!!! Sorry about the finger. That’s crazy!!!! You’re awesome, Pete!!!🌱

Damn mate wouldn't have expected that cut from opening a jar! Thanks for sharing the process and the secret of those guns. 💪 Chicken dance + weights.

8:10 if you adjust your ph first it requires less of the ph adjuster. For example you used 5 drops but if you pre adjusted you would only need 2 or 3 drops to get the same ph.

Should I interpret the frequency of your videos as an indicator spring is coming to Australia? ;)

Not sure how I missed this vid, must have been on the boat! Any feedback on silica use order? I’ve been told by the hydro folks to add your silica first and let it sit for 20-30 min before adding other nutrients. Silica can take time to mix, changes ph and can possibly bind up the nutrients. Not sure if that’s real or bro science, but I tend to add silica night before then nutrients and adjust ph before watering. I also add in Tribus once ph is adjusted. Try to help the plant fam use all those good extra nutrients. 😊

Love the chicken dance! Have you been using the silica & other product long enough to notice a difference in pests? I’ll be using it if it works for you. Thanks for sharing Pete!

🐸🧦 Silica... defense against pests, and Petes. 🤭 ouch!

Karma, Pete! Now you know what a fungus gnat feels ( she says whilst searching for Silica on the Internet).

Pete vs. Silica :)

Thanks for taking the mystery out of the nutrient solution process. Is your recipe used in Pon as well?

I‘m a bit confused because we have the chicken dance in Germany as well but we call it “Ententanz” which means duck dance 😂

Does the Bluelab ph meter needs to be recalibrated now and then?

:( oh Pete it’s so clean and set up your posts.I love your content and won’t stop but it’s like advertisements and … anyway

Ok I thought silica always go in first and then you have to wait for 20 min. Then shake between each nutrients. At least that’s what I’ve learned.

B Then A 😢

I read thc😂😂😂😂 i thought was Cbd 😂😂😂
