l so find the occasional addition of sulfur (through the potassium sulfate) really brings out the terpenes and trichomes.

Iam a big proponent of k sulfate as a bloom booster. Better than mkp in my experience. We dont need a ton of phosphorus in indoor container gardens. Back in the day we thought so because thats what big ag did. Well were not growing in open fields either....where phosphorus is easily washed away as groundwater run off. Phosphorus will stay put if we make it that way. Where phosphorus shines is early root development and the transition phase when we manipulate the photoperiod. And in very small amounts. Plenty in the bases.

Most of them work well. Canna Coco a/b is the king. House and Garden works well, the GH cocotek works well.

I've ran botanicare kind as well. Definitely do NOT go by what they say to feed them though or your plants will be hurting big time by mid flower. My first run with it I went by the chart just to see what was up. In veg they looked great, early flower was great but a little slow on transition. Then all hell broke loose in week 4 and 5 where the salt build up was just too much. It is very potent in my experience. I'm using it in flower currently bc I ran out of cocotek, and it's kicking ass now that I've got the feeds dialed. On my 600w horti setup I'm only running .8 EC in week 4 of flower...and the plants are perfect. I feed 9 times per light cycle though on a timed pump.

most nute brand manufacturers assume your plants are in tip top shape and under perfect conditions with 1000 watt hps lighting minimum with perfect canopy temps and humidity. With strains that can handle high EC. The charts are very generic and unusally call for very high nutrient strengths. Your strain....amount of direct intense lighting in the correct spectrum...and your temperature and relative humidity plays the most important role in what you should be feeding at what time and at what strength. Take a note from what greenhouse production crop growers do. When the sun is most intense. ..and its a hot dry day...they cut feed EC strengths in half and more watering when fertigation cycles kick on. On more cloudy slightly colder days its the opposite. They also manipulate fertigation to get more leafy vegetative growth or more fruiting and flowering. Not by changing nute profile ratios so much as the overall feed strengths and watering times. Especially big hot house tomato growers in rockwool and coco drip systems. Its called crop "steerage" ...and its a technique they employ to get maximum harvests of perfectly grown fruits and vegetables.

Go by Canna. Their feed charts give you a range of how to feed, and what you pick in that range is dependent on what your plants need at the time. Yes they leave a little bit for the user to figure out but steer you in the right direction. There is no perfect feed chart, you need to learn you plants. What "since 1991" said is a pretty simple example of why you might not always want to follow a feed chart to the tee. Plants drink more when it's hot, less when it's not.

And don't use Dutch Master (DM) for a little while. They have been purchased by Fuji Films (no BS) and are discontinuing all product lines. They will be reintroducing a new cannabis specific line soon under the Dutch Master name. DM did make good quality stuff, but wait since all their current products will be obsolete by year end. Most wholesalers have remaining DM products on clearance.

Dutch Master got bought out by Fuji Film??? Wow. Yep. Wierd company buy out but overall doesn't suprise me. The industry leaders are....one by one ....starting to cash out. Or expanding with big corporate backing.
The writings on the wall. Legalization is the death knell for the indoor hydroponics industry as it is now. They know it too. Larry Brooke. ..former owner of General Hydroponics and an industry veteran who....along with a small group of others...practically started indoor hydroponics hobby industry. ..ie - cannabis with a wink and a nod . ..in the late seventies and early eighties. He recently sold the company and literally flew off into the sunset on a private jet. Everyone very soon is going to start cashing out as much as they can. Whoever doesnt and thinks business as usual is gonna be up shit creek.
