Favorite supplement during VEG?


My favorite supplement would have to be Super thrive. It's a hormone based product that increases photosynthesis and has tons of B-Vitamins that increases bud sites and plant size for a bigger yield come flowering time.



Favorite supplement during FLOWERING?


I would have to say Floralicious PLUS (Floralicious Bloom - almost the same) - great product has does a lot of the plant. Has Bacillus Subtillis, Sea weed, Vitamins, Humic & Fulvic Acids. Also, Improves aroma, taste, ect.

I have tried SuperThrive in veg with no noticable difference, I know many like the snake oil but I have never seen anything noticeable for adding it.

I use NitroZyme as a foliar spray in veg and the plants get super chraged green and big with it, once a week is ALL you need.

Flower it would have to be, Big Bud. The only AN product that I use besides Voodoo juice (and I think I should stop that one too with Aquashield).

Hmmm...well, I don't use anything like that in veg..I usually only use light veg nutes in veg, and then I use some Botanicare sweet along with my normal feedings in flower...I don't think it increases yield, but it makes the weed way way way stickier, and it smells nice I think...so while it may not add anything extra in weight, it just makes a better finished product I think...so far...or at least the finished product smells way way way more...I don't know...I got it as a sample, and I feel like i like it...I sometimes think I like something for awhile before changing my mind and deciding I don't...but I am really really thinking of picking up another bottle...because the sample is almost out...and I do really really believe that it improves the smell and stickiness...it might all be in my head though...

I like how one person says I love this stuff it is so awesome!
next person says ," you're an idiot it is all a scam! This stuff is amazing...
so here I am saying I don't know it is doing anything....but if my nose, and eyes and tastebuds don't deceive me there is a difference...

okokokok...I got it...the sweet really does make a difference...I know this because I have a strain from DNA genetics, Rocklock, awesome plant...super short and compact with minimal LST. Has Rock hard buds, just a joy to grow...but>>> BUT...I like fruity weed...and I guess this is rather fuel smelling...and tastes weird...not bad, I know that some people look for the flavor it has, but it aint me babe...again I roll with the fruits...and if i use the Sweet Berry on the Rocklock it kills alot of the fuely smell and taste! I mean in a smell test i can still tell Rocklock from any other of my strains...but it isn't as terrible now...it used to smell like someone took some really killer skunky skunk weed and dipped it lightly in some sort of watered down diesel maybe...anyway I don't consider it pleasant, but the Sweet adds enough of a fruity taste so Rocklock is no longer my backup smoke..so Berry beats Diesel and that is enough for me to buy more...I like the way the Rocklock grows and smokes, but not the way it tastes or smells...but if I use Botanicare Sweet then I like to smoke it and don't mind to smell it...

There is an issue with the Sweet though>>> It makes any strain way stinkier...way stinkier, I have a carbon filter so I don't really smell it here, but man if I try to carry any of this smoke with me I can't...I was going to a party at a friend's house and turns out it has to stay in a jar or you can put a bag in a lunch box..it is way way way too smelly...over the top...Stinks more through the bag then when you smoke it....but hey if you are out somewhere and drop your stuff at a party you can just sniff about til you find it...won't take long...

So to sum all this inter fact finding up...

I do really like Botanicare's Sweet because I really do end with a noticeable difference in taste. So if you already like the taste then leave it be...But on the other side of that coin it also improves the scent, but once you dry it, dear christ it, like, screams "I HAVE WEED!!!" through a bullhorn...to everyone around you...so I guess I have to use it on some plants for at home...and then not use it on one, so I can take some of that one plant with me if I am going somewhere that may call for a small smoke....

Damn ranting again...hahahahahahaaaa

I use the Botanicare Cal/Mag Plus as needed. I don't like using it all the time cause depending on where you are in your nutrient regiment and what nutes you are using you don't need it every week.

I dont always use them so it kinda depends on what base nutes im using at the time. but the supplements both are for bloom, i like Floralicious plus(gh),DueceDuece(humbolt Nutrients) this stuff is almost exactly like gravity which i cant get from my local store anymore..and ALWAYS no matter what veg or bloom i use PRO-TEK if you dont use protek you need to start

silica is the best additive for big strong plants.
I do give my seedling with 1/4 ml silicon per gallon. Since im hand watering with soilless medium.

As for this OP, recently i started Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro, im impressed...along with Pro-Tekt, calmag, SuperThrive (transplant and feed few times) and DGs neem oil for spray im outdoor.

for Bloom stage,

Pro-Tekt, GROW 7-9-5, and Bloom.


Yes im fan of Dyna-Gro line :D

happy gardening and peace

About to finish my first grow and I used all Dyna-Gro and I will keep using it because it was so easy to mix and the results are looking fantastic and beyond my expectations for a first time.

Veg in coco with foliage-pro,protekt. also a little magpro (.5-1ml per gallon),without it my moms get rust spots in coco, doesn't happen in hydroton.

In flower I used Bloom,Protekt,magpro and ph is rock solid.

even if you use other nutes try a silica additive you will be happy.

veg: KELP. foliar feeding with kelp will keep your plants looking prime. It's got vitamins, hormones, and more. read up on it. Maxicrop is like 20/gallon. Should last all season. Most of those primo "hydro" or "grow" brand additives are kelp based. Liquid karma, floralicious, the whole biobizz line, etc.


flower: monopotassium phosphate. It's the main ingredient in all (most) pk boosters. Except it costs like 1/10th the price to buy it as a bulk salt. Add a little magnesium sulfate to that and you're good to go.


Silica is also good throughout both flower in veg. I foliar with it in veg and feed it to the roots in flower. Helps create a sturdier plant, changes the leaf surface pH (when foliar feeding) to resist PM, and helps resist mold later in flowering.

I recommend omega-3 supplements because of clinical analysis indicating that vegans' essential unhealthy acidity intake (from foods) largely prefers the Ω 6, throwing off a balance with omega-3's. This analysis has also been verified with studies looking at vegans' essential unhealthy acidity status in the body.
