Currently: Athena Blended (Bloom A&B, PK) + GH CaliMagiC & Armor Si

Previously: FoxFarm trio; GH Flora Trio + CaliMagiC, Armor Si, Diamond Nectar, and Floralicious Plus

All used in coco + perlite. Best results to date, the GH trio and extras. Worst results, the FoxFarm trio; i was always chasing problems.

Next up: trying FloraNova Grow and Bloom, CaliMagiC (if needed) and Armor Si (will still use) and Floralicious (maybe, since i still have it). I personally love GH products but the trio + extras was like 6 or 7 bottles at any one time! If i can cut that down to like 2 to 4, that's doable for me.

I use 1/2 dose on Fox Farm trio. I also was chasing problems at a full dose. Also I adjust the water ph to 5.5 to 6.5 depending on the soil ph. SaferGrow is great for a ph down product. Doing this I can full dose feed Fox Farms to the fully mature plants.
Ph adjusted always. Not balancing my ph let the nutes build up due to lockout then I should have flushed before adjusting the ph because I nute burned when I adjusted the ph due to built up nutes in the soil mix.
Hope this helps.

Yes dude. I did a test . And the buds I used baby formula on are way fatter than the others . Congrats on your babies bro bro. This lady on another forum said that they can't absorb it. But it's lies. Cause there is natural milk fat. That breaks down In the soil. And also has calcium, and magnesium . Wich plants seem to be deficient of quite often. No problems on my end. Lol

Currently using using advanced nutrients 3 part for veg and super nutrients 2 part for flower the super nutrients is low p so I might use a p boost during mid flower like fox farm cha Ching and a small bit of AN overdrive with 1/8 strength nutrients for the last 2 weeks

Just inexpensive base nutrients without any additional additives. Brand doesn't matter, As long as they contain the macros and micros the plants are happy. It could be a 1 part, 2 part, or 3 part. Last indoor grow I used MaxiBloom from start to finish. Plants were happy and that's all that matters. Plants don't give a damn about fancy bottles.

My outdoor plants this year I was just feeding cannabis JLF I made. They started yellowing so I realized that the JLF wasn't enough so I grabbed some organic fertilizer at Lowes and they are doing extremely well.

I can hear the gasps now and frankly I don't give a damn. There is nothing wrong with this product. It contains everything the plant needs and that's all that matters.

Pretty irrelevant, but I use Canna nutes usually. Ridiculously expensive, yeah, but I still buy the small 1 litre bottles. I grow one or two grows per year and 20€ for more than a grow means very little in the end.

Gh flora series , It's been around since the 70s .... Been using it for years with excellent results. I got tired of all the outrageously priced "special" nutrient lines designed to only give you the same results and separate you from lots more money.

I have got a load of that to use up, it is good stuff.

Since peat is going I have been trying different mediums and have gone for Westland New Horizon and so far it has required nothing extra.

For me hands down gaja green all purpose and bloom is the easy nutes to use. I feed once every 3 weeks. No mixing or guess work. I also add ewc and use blackstrap molasses. Simple with great results.

8-4-10 slow release at the moment in yard soil mixed with vermicompost. Two tbsp pellets per 5 gallon pot. It was $4 and claimed to feed for four months so what the hell.

Next run I'll be using multicrop organic 3:1:3 as a base with Dr greenthumbs bud and bloom (0.5-2-3) as top dress starting week three. I'll use yard soil, vermicompost, pumice and zeolite as a base.

The 8-8-8 npk is gd for bloom? Seems like an all purpose. My veg nutes are 4-4-4. I always wondered if that alone would work.

All purpose is fine. You don't need to use a half dozen or more different things and follow some fancy feed chart that changes every week. Many people use only a 4-4-4 all purpose and grow better weed than someone with a shelf full of bottles from some overpriced cannabis specific nutrient.

I used that stuff for years. Started with it back in the early 90’s. Nothing else. Worked great.
To me though, even the flora series is over priced compared to what else you can get. Like i said, i’m megacrop 1 part only nowadays, i’m in dirt. If I was in a more hydro setup, i’d probably use something a little cleaner but not the flora series. Maybe back to
The maxi. Even cheaper would be Jacks/magacrop 2part but i don’t have any experience with that.

You can find deals, I got a deal last year for a gallon of micro, grow and bloom for 65 bucks shipped, even amazon has 1 qt bottles of the trio for like 35 bucks, thats pretty damn cheap compared to most. I grow in HPA and ebb n flow so it has to be clean stuff. If I was going to go back to 1 part it'd be dynagrow , it worked good too.
