So laser you didnt use anything except the sensi 2 part big bud and overdrive? killer nugs... im starting my first hydro and im goin with the sensi 2 part and i've been curious on what else to get with it cuz everything together is outrageously expensive. and im sure theres quite a few things i wont need.

I also use Carboload and Hygrozyme, but I don't consider them nutes.

But that covers it. Sensi A & B, Big Bud, Overdrive with Carboload and Hygrozyme all through flower.

you use overdrive throughout the whole bloom cycle?

I actually made notes from my last grow. There was a debate about the cost of AN being too prohibitive so I broke down my costs over the course of the grow and I actually detailed out the feeding schedule I used.

Everything is in ounces and no ppm references because this was about cost, but it should give an idea what my feeding schedule looks like.

how long before the average photoperiod plant reaches the vegetative stage?

For some reason I can't comprehend this question. Looks like a bunch of mish-mashed words stuck together. What is a photoperiod plant?

If the question is how long before a seedling enters the vegetative stage I would say 2-3 weeks depending on strain. I don't consider a plant to be "vegging" until after it starts it 4th set of real leaves. Before then it's still really small and can survive without nutrients so I'd still call it a seedling.

photoperiod plants are non-auto flowering strains requiring 12/12..thanks for your nute sched, I'll probably be following it for when I grow my UFO seeds from attitute

do you prefer the liquids over the powders?

do you prefer the liquids over the powders?

I generally prefer the liquids just for ease. It really doesn't matter one way or the other, you end up with the liquid regardless by adding water.

 

[doug mirabelli]

If my math is right, you get more bang for your buck with the powder

 

[doug mirabelli]

and the NPK ratio is different

and the NPK ratio is different

I've never really looked into the powsders, but I'm sure you get a bit more for your money, but it's just another added hassle and I'm not really about it. I've used the liquids since I started and I'm happy with them.

is it true that a ph meter is not needed with the sensi nutes? ive read the ad in the HT magazine but that seems a little hard to believe.

It's hard to believe because it's a load of crap. You definitely need to maintain proper ph levels when using Sensi 2 part nutrients.

The phanton Vaporware known as PPM Perfect is supposed to work without needing to monitor ph levels, but I've never seen it commercially available.

yea thats kinda what i figured. marketing gimmick. thanks for the reply.
