So I Got some metanatural

Took a lil road trip this weekend and got myself some metanaturals. Tired of hearing about this stuff.

I have read many post on dosage and all. Just wondering what yall's preferences are as far as strength of dose and how often you feed. some current info.

thanks for your time

here's what I bought.

 

Right on Wa. I think you'll like the metas. I use 3 tsp 3-3-3 for veg and 6 tsp (varied mixes) 3-3-3 x 1-5-5 for flower myself. Usually feed once every couple weeks or when needed. That's worked for me at least. As with any ferts it's basded on what the strain can handle really.

 

Is that per gallon Herb? Is there anywhere online that carry's meta's?

 

Thanks pappy. I thought I had read that where you had posted before. appreciate the time

Hey thanks Wa..

 

yup...per gallon.

 

I've never used as strong a dosage as Pappy is suggesting, but I use the 1-5-5 with every watering at the suggested dosage (1 tsp per gallon). I also haven't used MetaNaturals exclusively; it is always mixed with other organics.

 

that's helpful fellas....thanks a lot. I know I'll just have to feel it out, but i just wanted to get an idea of what others have had success doing. Seems like maybe 2 tsp per gallon would be good for feeding once a week. I am used to having to increase the dosage at each feeding.

I'm a radical...what can I say?


Wa....I used a higher dosage, but fed less if that helps. Just seemed to work better for me that way since I don't keep strict ledgers like some do. I like **** simple.

 

Hey wa.


I just tried the Metas and had major PH problems in a soil grow. The range was around 5.0. I also used the Calcium because I am using filtered tap water. So the Calcium might have been the problem, although I don't see how Calcium could turn soil acidic. I used a good draining potting mix that I used on my prior grows grown with Supernatural & Canna ferts. I added prilled dolomite lime(the only kind I could get. It's in pellet form and I'm not sure how available to the plant it is because it didn't seem to help the PH) and worm castings mixed in. They were fine after the first dosage. But after that they looked terrible. Stunted and bronzish.


I finally had to flush them and went back to the Canna for now. They have revovered and are doing nicely.


After doing an extensive search of NJ garden supply shops for dolomite lime(apparently dolomite lime is not available for sale in NJ. I must have called over 50 places), I broke down and ordered a 50LB bag from a place in CA. It is in pulverixed form and cost $5.00. The shipping was $23.00 Oh well.


Next grow I'm gonna use the pulverized dolomite lime and try the Mets again. I really do want to go organic. No Calcium next time either.


Other growers are using Metas with no problem, so obviously, it's me. Just a thought to say keep an eye on them. I'd be interested to see how your grow is going. Please keep us posted.

 

thanks for the heads up pete. I'll keep my eyes open. Wondering what strength you were using when you had the problems. Also wondering pot size. thanks again brother

 

Hey wa, my friend.


I used 3 1/2 gallon fiber pots. They had enough worm castings to last the first couple of weeks. My initial fert was 1/2tsp 3-3-3 & 1 1/2 tsp Calcium(both 1/2 dosages) & a dab of liquid seaweed. They seemed fine and there was some decent growth. After talkin to Pappy, next fert was 3 tsp 3-3-3 & 1Tbs Calcium. That was when they statred going south. I have a really good PH meter that tok readings of 4.5 to 5.0(I don't like it cos it has a really thick point that has to go all the way in)


I think that with the pulverized dolomite lime, I should be better off next time.


Like I said, I'd like to know how you're doing with the metas. There are a LOT of much better growers here than me who use it, so I'm sure it's just an adjudtment that I hava to make.

 

there's a thread in pot shots called strawberry cough that is my first with metas. Just started. Have yet to feed anything. thanks for the specifics. always helps.
