I run them for veg with Mammoth P and that’s it. They work good. I use Canna for flower cause I have a COB system that I flower under and was having deficiency issues with then in my system. I use a liquid for flower for the maximum solubility.

That's what I use and it works great. With that budget you won't get far in the Botanicare line. You posted in hydro so I'll assume you're running some sort of hydro setup. Quarts won't go far. As for essentials you'll need the base and Cal-Mag and if you can't control your rez temp HydroGuard.

If you comment was directed towards me it's too late cause I switched to an under current.

I see you've gotten no answers so I'll chime in. I run an undercurrent setup and I use it at 1tsp per 10gals. I've used it at the recommended dosage and reduced my base nutrients by half and burnt the shit out of my plant! I mean crispy leaves and brown spots galore!!! This stuff is extremely...

I don't believe it's worth the effort because the air pump won't move that much water.

I used to top it up with a full strength mix (Lucas formula) but that wasn't for me. My plant grew but they had problems. Topping it off with a full strength mix leads to problems IMO. You just don't know what the plant is taking up in large small quantities thereby adding everything back at...

That's what I'm after. As close to a set it and forget setup as possible (I do know that just leaving your plants for extended periods of time isn't possible if you don't want any problems.) Now days I'm all about working smart and not hard. I have thought about the return lines getting clogged...

Guess I can run this setup this time and on the next go round try out an Undercurrent. That's only if I don't like how things go with this setup or growth isn't what I expect which I doubt it cause it's a hydro setup.

This was a 4 site DIY RDWC, round 5 gal buckets with a BlueLab in the controller bucket (nothing like BlueLab). The only difference I see between the two systems is that the water pump is on the outside for one and on the inside for the other. I still haven't made up my mind if I'm going to...

I'm looking for some input from growers who have done more than a few grows with each system. What I would like to know are the benefits each system has for speed and vigor on plants and the downfalls. Also what are any problems you've had with each. I just built a RDWC system and I'm...

She has about 33 days to go. Sent From my GS7 Edge

She's drinking about 2 gallons a day now. Things are happening fast.

When the majority of them are cloudy with some amber you're ready for harvest. If you want a heavier stone go for more amber. I usually have new growth on my plants when I harvest. If you wait for the new growth to stop you'll be way past harvest time.

Look at the trichs; clear= not ready, cloudy and cloudy and amber= ready and if you've got a majority of amber you've gone too long.

I don't remember where I originally topped her but I eventually removed it down to about the 2nd node and went from there because she was too tall when I put the net in.
