It's kind of funny you ask this. I will be using the general organics grow box for the first time on my upcoming grow. I will stay tuned to see some of the answers that come.

The marine and Thrive are both grow foods you only need one. Marine is made from fish and can get stinky. I've use BIO BIZZ and this is almost a direct copy of that. GH made it just like theirs.

Of course you don't 'need' everything. But, you need your base. Grow and Bloom, I like the sea weed, that's good, the black is good too. I don't really care about bio roots soo much but can't say it's bad. Bio Bud is cool too. But that about all there is.. O and the camg+ and your good.

Budswell is awesome.. ly stinky too.. lol I love it.

i actually have not used black diamond much the chart i have says only use it in first couple weeks of veg do u use it throughout bloom?
 
Lol, buy yourself a rabbit or find someone who has one :)

The pellets are like plant rocket fuel and no more burning or "artifical" organic nute probs.

They are excellent fert pellets.

The very best Feed you can get IMO.
 
I have had to use higher than recommended doses to get my desired results. I used up to 28 ml of the Flora and 20 ml of the CaMg+ on these plants I'm posting.DSC02081.jpgThis is at week ten in 5 gallon pots of Canna Coco I put 9 underneath a 1000 this was a few months back but I believe the crop was average about .75 grams per watt and I didn't like the taste as much as I do when I'm using GH three part.

I use the grow, bloom, cal-mag, and the bio weed. I use a seedweed extract(1-0-18) instead of their booster. A lot of people including me like their cal-mag. I also use molasses through out flower.

I tried it more then once, and ended up with more problems then it was worth.

They say not to ph it, and all kinds of stuff..... just wasn't worth it for me to switch from my synth or just add water soil mix to that line.

I do like the camg+ though, I also like the bio-weed, and bio-bud which are actually similar but both awesome!

ya i have never checked oh of nute or soil, maybe some day i will start, i think i'm gonna stay with "GO" for a couple more plants, Maybe try some budswell/Molasses,if i dont see any better results i may switch my line up, i originally was gonna get foxfarm nutes, but they were not in canada.
 
Been using line. On 3rd run. 1st results were good when I pretty much just followed chart. And I remember being scared to over feed going lite on nutes. Which is what I am now hearing "lite" is a good rule of thumb. Second time I made a few changes (with nutes & room setup) that caused me some probs.

The whole don't PH thing is still hard to do. I'm almost tempted to try a plant both ways side by side to see. But from what I hear U don't need to worry. I just do cuz my solution mixes up around 3.5-3.9 PH.

I Have been trying to stick with em because I got a free GO Box from a GH rep at a grow expo. Plus I was already running em & had just bought a box because store was having huge sale for the expo. So needless to say I was pretty stocked up on GH Organics after that. Have just been buyin bottles seperately now when I run out. Don't wanna just switch over to new nutes. Plus growin in coco it kinda makes sense to go with organic line.

Still new here with not much to compare to so I will keep at it trying different feeding regimens till I find what each strain likes. Will take some time. Oh yea 3rd run lookin good and that is with plant having poor circulation for few weeks due to a bad setup:wall:. Once I get all the kinks out it shall be interesting to see results.

I just recently got on here to find more information on these nutes to maximize their potential. Good post! .... Anyone else with info.. im all ears!!

All-in-all good stuff. I have done about five runs with it and only noticed that you can run into a phos def in late veg. So, you can half and half the grow and bloom ferts or, add some rock phos to the siol before even using it. Another member suggested using budswell to boost the yeild of the crop (which is a good idea). Personally, adding a small dose of Botanicare's hydroplex during mid to late bloom does wonders.

On my fourth run using the GO line. First run i ph'd everthing water and feeding. The outcome was okay. I don't ph anything nor even check anymore. The results are great. I use diamond black during the whole veg period and stop once switching to 12/12. During bloom I use bio bud and bloom and small amounts of grow for the first month or so. I love this shit. Used to run fox farms but, I find quality is much better using the Go line.

On my third GO grow. I just noticed on this grow that if you read the bottles, you can double the amounts for "heavy" feeding. I would follow the box and then alter if you see issues. The first thing I would watch for is calmag def -- start doubling the calmag and adding 1/4 tsp of epsom at the first sign. I'm using RO water so I always double the calmag now. I'm also putting in 3 tsps (instead of the 2) of the grow this time in veg/early flower.

I love GO, so simple and great results.

we really need to keep this forum alive guys. im also a lasting general organics user whos getting yield at .67-73 gpw that being an average 23-26 ounces per thousand watter. and do i take there organics to the extreme. for veg its a fairly simple recipe. i like using there biothrive at 5 for the first week clones hit the dixies, transplant to 1 gallons after a week and up to 7.5ml, then ten after 7.5 for that one week. usually around week 5 of veg i get p-k signs so i mix up some bloom at 4/8 with grow. during veg i also liek to foliar with the bioweed every time i use my aact tea(get to that later). and i use camg+ at 7.5ml during veg and 10-15ml in bloom. bioroot at recommended usage. during transition i use grow/bloom at 10/5, 7.5/7.5, 5/10, then 15ml. this is the usually feed for myself sometimes plants beging for 20-22.5ml of biothrive in heavy bloom. for there biobud i like to start at recommended 2.5 in the first week then up to 3ml in the second and up by 1ml every week after that until the 6th week peak at 7ml and cut back to 5 for week 7 and 8. now as for what i use for compost teas and innoculants. big lover of hygrozyme here and it works GREAT at 10ml per gallon all the way through. i use subcultures m&b added to every third watering with my aact tea. my act tea consist of GO's alaskan humus as my compost, with bioweed at 1/1.5-2 ratio to blackstrap molasses as taken from microbeman. i brew this simple tea for 24 hours then add my subcultures, and 5ml per gallon diamond black. then add my regular nutrients. this schedule works great with some good lollipopping in early bloom HUGE beautiful smelling and tasting buds off my indica dominant strain varieties(currrently agent orange) i just cant stop using this line its so very forgiving.

had been thinking about using humboldts bloom 0-10-0, and technaflora soluable seaweed 1-1-17 for p-k boosters curious what people thought.
