Wondering anyone here using Cultured Solutions and how the result?

Are you running a UC? I personally don't run their products in my uc setup, but have a good friend who runs a med disp and he runs a uc with cultured sol products. Runs the whole line. Plants are huge and roots are white. I plan on switching to CS on my next build. What kind of a system are you running?

I used it for a few weeks and didnt like it. 3-1-3 veg ratio. Not ideal. Much better results with a 2-1-2. Heavy16 is 2-1-2 I believe.

I mix my own nutrients now and chucked all my bottles. I prefer this. $100 for enough nutrients to mix over 5000gallons.

My son runs 3 UC systems and I run 1...now he uses the CS nutes and plants look great...I myself have been running H&G Aqua flakes and plants look great also...now he uses the CS roots and I use the Hydroguard and my roots are whiter...I was thinking of using the Heavy 16 Fire to see how it does during the flowering stage...as long as it has no Carbos in it..sugars can raise hell in RDWC systems making slime algae big time...I made the mistake using a sample of carboload on my first grow....all was good before i used it...then when I put in res..next day had slime like crazy....I had to drain..refill and use Drip Clean to sterilize the rez then after a week used Hydroguard and all was well again...

Now the company that was making nutes for CS stopped making for them..I do not know who is mixing for them now...but there is lots of old stock still available in the shops...



After this grow finishes my son is going to give me some CC nutes to try and compare...but both CC and Aqua Flakes are made for RDWC systems...

I currently us GH as well, but run a modified lucas formula. EC max out at 1.2 and around .8 to 1.0 in flower. I only use the 'grow' portion during veg and not that much of it. GH has plenty of N in there. Did you burn your plants with GH? I don't have any deficiencies with their products, but want to change up myself.

It look good both vege and flower. For some reason the final product kinda fluffy.

About a dollar for a whole cycle. Super cheap indeed. About $8 dollars per oz of dried product. Electricity, medium, airstones, water, and nutrients per 120 day cycle(2 month veg and 2 month flower). But I probably dont even need 2 month veg. I always outgrow my screen.

Never heard that one before. I always thought it was light strength and strain dependent. Of course too hot of temps would make it foxtail.
