i have tried most of them just to see what worked better for my plants, and what i liked using more. house and garden is very predictable, and most of my plants have all loved it. im liking this new aptus stuff though. im flipping the plants soon so we will see hwo it goes

pretty crazy hearing that about H&G, havent really ever heard of them being all that great, but i guess you never know until you try it for yourself. i used a few of there additives and thought there price for there amount of production increase was ridiculous, although i have never tried there A&B maybe they would react better coupled with those but idk.

most people bash them because of the price. i get great yields with their stuff i've never had an issue. i run them at much lower strength than they recomend though its suicide to run what their nute sched recomends.

cool to hear that, i was REALLY interested in there stuff when i was looking into switching up nutes from flora nova (great stuff just a f'in mess to clean) to something new, ended up just going with the flora series and its been working pretty well. how clean are the nutes in the water with H&G??

super clean. you were using better nutes with flora nova that is basically lucas formula with some extras in it. but you are right messy stuff. that is what i love about HG is how clean it is.

the nova grew some great plants i used it for years, but my stuff is still stained from the use of it. there is no way i would run it in the E&G, the flora is pretty clean itself i like it.

flora is pretty clean unless you add floralicious that stuff is nasty organic shit stinks like shit and black and stains everything. just like nova. i LOVE nova in veg fucking amazing stuff, but cleanup is a bitch. i have dropped my paint mixer bit i use to mix my drum and i reach my whole arm in and pull it out no gunk stains or anything with HG. the murkiest stuff they make is roots excel because it is a benny. other than that everything is pretty much clear or a blueish color the B part of A+B is maroon. your water looks like watered down merlot wine

Yeah Ive been trying to come up with a sloution to my want of using the ebb and grom top feed in my version with organics. But Ive noticed a few possible future issues. Such as the meduim i use is like insulation and I feel that with something like that I would have to use hydropton, no big deal. Then I actually called g.h. for info on their organic line they said not to use it in hydro, so that sucks. I guess what im gonna do in the end is come up with a proper recipe for comepost tea for veg and bloom maybe. I dont know unless someone has a all organic line I can use with this system. I love the system , want organics but I guess the question is can I have the best of both worlds ?

APtus is a new nute line im testing its only additives you can use any base with them. they are all organic, but you need to change your res out every 3 days. anything organic is not gonna work well in hydro because it can clog up shit and make a big mess of things. that is why it is not recomended.

Just a quick question for you all. What do you guys think about the g13 labs pineapple express, white widow, and purple haze? I just got some from attitude and was vary surprised on the time it took. oh and they are feminized i am never goin to grow from bag seed again. I started with eighteen and ended up with 4 females.

Hell, I just changed res out to something similar to homebrewers formula but I found it to be a little what seems weak, it came up to about 900 ppm so I just added a little more bloom and some b52, lets see wtf happens next.

i am actually running mine at 850 right now with everything, i like them a bit on the weak side, i hit them with the kool bloom at week 4 which get the ppm up to around 1000 but i never really go above that and like to keep it under.

I just barely go over 1000 most of the time, I've got the alarm set on the bluelab at 420 low(for the fuck of it) and 1200 is where I set the high alarm on ppm.right now its sitting at 1050 I think.

I have two and I think they're both set the same but I dunno, its not really a feature I cared to pay for but the meters are nice.
