Ive used Sweet and terpinator together before. Its strain dependent.....you got to experiment on your varieties yourself but when yoj switch to flower keep using grpw nutes for a week ot two but give them a tspn or 2 per gallon of Sweet. I like the raw version. People diss sweet from botanicare but it actually is more than mag sulphate. Theres other stuff in there that really helps the transition. Its way overpriced (what isnt in the nutrient market) but its convenient. Mj loves mag sulphate and phosphorus (hydroplex....but be careful....with sweet thats alot of mag sulphate) in early flowering. About 3 weeks in when your nice and settled with your bloom base nute drop the sweet and hydroplex if your using it and start with a 2 teaspoons per gallon of the Terpinator and bump this up every 5 to 7 days with another tspn until your up to 5 or 6 tspns per gallon at peak flowering.it sounds like alot but with Terp its really not. The plants love that potassium sulphate and whatever else is in the Terp will make for a frosty smelly plant. Strain dependent of course but if you time all these products rite and watch your EC and pH in accordance with your strain its a consistent recipe for fst sticky smelly buds. Botanicare Sweet and Terpinator play really nice together if you use them at the right time.Changed the reservoir tonight and got rid of a few leafs that were blocking light and just generally been a pain in the arse. The smell is absolutely amazing, it really is like a Refresher bar, and is getting a bit more sour, a bit like those sour lemon sweets, or sour lemon candy for my American friends!
I'm using Botanicare Sweet Citrus with this grow, not sure how good it is but I'm hoping its going to really bring out the limonene terpene profile of the Lemon Skunk that is in her genetics.
Next time round I want to do the same strain again, but instead of using the Sweet Citrus I want to use Terpinator and see the difference. Me and the bloke in the grow shop had a "quiet chat" (obviously they aren't supposed to talk about anything cannabis related, as all the hydroponic equipment is for growing tomatoes and chillies etc!) and he highly recommended Terpinator, said his buds frosted up immediately, well the next day!
Anyone had experience with Terpinator or Botanicares Sweet range?
I say this is what I want to do but it might change as there are loads of strains I want to try. LA Confidential and Chocolope are contenders for next grow
