What nutrients are you guys using

So, is anybody going to represent the dgc with grow dots and recharge?

One dude tried hyping the dots, and his grow went to shit and stopped posting


Recharge is great stuff though

You can save money by not even using GH FloraGro. Micro has enough N and if you're using Floralicious, you get even more. The only reason I quit using MaxiBloom is because I got tired of dissolving it in water otherwise it works pretty well by itself. I prefer to have a bit more control over the macros so I quit using one part solutions.

One example is having too much N in flower can increase leaf in the buds and not just the amount but their thickness also. When I used less N I got a bit better bud:leaf ratio.

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.

It doesn't matter, they're both the same nutrient profile, i.e. 1:1:1

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.

Oh might have to give that a try. Sucks peat is phasing out as i just got the hang of it lol

Veg bloom or jacks in hydro, nectar in soil

I'm enjoying Floraflex nutrients. I like that there is a veg and a bloom. Jack's was loaded with heavy metals and didn't want to dissolve very well.

This is something that I've brought up a lot. There's no reason to be using veg levels of nitrogen during flower.

I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it's definitely not very clean. For awhile I thought my wave maker was grinding metal flakes into my res until I noticed the flakes in the buckets that I was mixing.

That was the part A. The calnit is clean, but contains levels of nitrogen higher than I wanted to be using.

I will say Jack's stayed suspended nicely. I had zero sludge in my res.

Gh maxibloom , Epsom salt. Start to finish.

In 1879 a war was fought over sea bird guano between Bolivia, Chile and Peru...it's pretty good stuff

Ocean forest mixed with coco loco for 3-4 weeks top off with dr. earth and flower girl during flower, ewc and seabird guano, recharge once a week

I use soil, you should check it out it's pretty amazing.

DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200


Edit: Dirty deleted

This run and the next couple will be:
Dr earth all purpose
Build A Soil craft blend
Build A Soil Worm castings

In bloom:
Dr earth flower girl
Fermented Plant Extracts Pumpkin
Neptunes Harvest Fish and Seaweed

the cost of all that stuff adds up but one bag of the dry stuff and one bottle of the liquid easily lasts me 2 or more grow cycles with 5-10 plants
