Flood and Drain questions

dirtysouth420 · May 31, 2012

Hey guys, this is my second grow using the flood and drain method. My grow consists of a dr60 tent, 150w hps, 2x2 flood table and a 12g res. I currently have 4 seeds germinating 3 northern light auto and 1 vertigo auto. I used canna's aqua veg and flores nutes the first time around. I was happy with my first grow but think i could have done a better job. Is there any other nutes out there that are better than the ones i am currently using. I have read alil bit about some root enhancers and was thinking about trying it so if anyone can shed alil light on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dutch masters gold is an excellent nute. Have had nothing but great results since i started using them.

Very nice. I was literally just online reading about the dmg nutes. At what stage did you start giving them nutes?

nick88 · May 31, 2012

Started bout 2 wks in at 400 ppm and slowly increased til i hit their target ppm..
Was running 1500 ppms until the last wk of flower.. I've never had a burn or any type of def..
And as you can see it works great in veg. too. They finished out right at 7ft after being topped the 3rd wk of veg

Looks great!!! I use the scrog method due to my height restriction of my tent and light that hangs from it so i need to keep em short and bushy. I had a decent turn out the first time but just feel that i could have done better. Do you only use 3/4 strength on your nutes? Cause the dutch master calculator is looking pretty high to what ppm im used to running?!?!?

dirtysouth420 · May 31, 2012

Nevermind, i had it on the aggressive instead of standard.

i start at half then go up by 25% til i reach full strength.. Before i used DM i would have never thought u could run1500 ppm with out burn but they've got their stuff pretty dialed in

Got ya. Im gonna do alil bit more research on this stuff and more than likely go to my local shop and buy it. Seems like they really put some thought into making these nutes.

nick88 · May 31, 2012

Once you do your research you'll be hooked.. Like i said best nutes i've used so far...

dirtysouth420 · May 31, 2012

I appreciate the info and will let you know if i decide to go with them. They are priced really well too.

nick88 · May 31, 2012

Priced very well indeed considering the prices of some of the over priced BS nutes out there.. Good luck

dirtysouth420 · May 31, 2012

Well, after the last 3 hrs of reading about this nute and that nute, im gonna go ahead and try out the DM gold nutes. Im also going to get the DM gold range zone for the roots. So we will give it a shot and see what they do. Thanks for your help nick, its apprecated.

If you use dm dont forget add.27, silica and some kind of hardener like molasses, bushmaster etc
