Each strain is different but generally you want to start out at like 1.4 EC in hydro (1000ppm on the 442 scale or .7 conversion) and see how your levels drop each day. Maybe your strain can handle 1.7 EC but pushing them is not necessary. Your plants know how to grow and as long as there is food in your dirt or res, the roots will pull it up. That being said, I've kind of settled on a combo of grow and bloom throughout flower in order to keep them green until harvest day. I think their recommended levels are too high.So do you follow the dynagro recommended levels or do you have your own method?
Regardless of the nutrient brand, I will feed at the same EC level. Link below to convert EC to ppm:Is EC relative to your particular solution? Did you have the same EC for DynaGro as GH (if thats what you used to use)? I try to stay close to recommended strength and my church and SLH are doing alright but I've switched over to fox farm base and solubles and haven't had any problems. Do you look for a magic number, or just at what level your plants are happy?
Hey Aussie, I'd love to see your plants moneybags, where are your journals?I'm so tired of listening to Homebrewer trash any nutes that cost more than $15 bucks. Maybe your a cheap ass, and don't want to even entertain the idea that expensive nutes work as well.
Hey Aussie, I'd love to see your plants moneybags, where are your journals?
Ok, then use Jacks or peters or any 3 part that was copied from GH. Now I work for 4 companies now .My plant's moneybags? Come again? And my journal is in my sig, I'm not by any means saying you're not an accomplished grower. I've seen your threads, you grow great medicine!
I'm just tired of you coming into threads and try to convince people to use Dyna-Gro, when they already have a nutrient line-up picked out.
I am starting to think you work for Dyna-Gro...
I wasn't asking for advice on growing in hydro, I was asking what you did with dyna gro.Each strain is different but generally you want to start out at like 1.4 EC in hydro (1000ppm on the 442 scale or .7 conversion) and see how your levels drop each day.

For dirt, I don't like anything over about .7 EC.

Also you were not asked to recommend a brand but did in fact recommend one. Your original statement that was all expensive nutrients are crap.Ok, then use Jacks or peters or any 3 part that was copied from GH. Now I work for 4 companies now .
EDIT: I also didn't come into this thread recommending a brand, I was asked. I think it's important for people who haven't been around that long to let them know that big $$$ doesn't mean big yields. It's just simple nutrition. I digress.
Is your memory seriously that short?Also you were not asked to recommend a brand but did in fact recommend one.
So what nutrients do you use, what's the secret?
I'm in.I would happily take you on any day in a grow off.
But if you had to choose a favorite from your employers, we all know it would be Dyna-Grow, right?Ok, then use Jacks or peters or any 3 part that was copied from GH. Now I work for 4 companies now .

when I asked that it was not an enquiry, I knew what you were going to say from the start.Is your memory seriously that short?
I'm in.
Also, at the end of the grow, we'll send samples to a member or members, they'll decide the winner.
Just so we're clear here, YOU asked me what nutrients I used, yet you deny it. YOU challenge me to a grow off and are now backing out? Whatever man, you just hit me up when you want to do this.when I asked that it was not an enquiry, I knew what you were going to say from the start.
I have no problem in a grow off but again wanted to highlight to you it's ridiculousness unless we were neighbours, do you really think I'll be sending a sample/samples off to people all over the world to see who is better.
Yeah right!!
You don't have to send it all over the world. I volunteer myself to be an unbiased mediator. Feel free to send me a sample, and I'll be the judge.when I asked that it was not an enquiry, I knew what you were going to say from the start.

I asked knowing what you would say, does that compute in your head?Just so we're clear here, YOU asked me what nutrients I used, yet you deny it. YOU challenge me to a grow off and are now backing out? Whatever man, you just hit me up when you want to do this.
How do you propose to test weed when we are on different continents?You don't have to send it all over the world. I volunteer myself to be an unbiased mediator. Feel free to send me a sample, and I'll be the judge.
Ah good, you're now admitting that you were the one that asked.I asked knowing what you would say
My rules for the grow-off:As for a grow off sure...where do I send my sample?
Thank you for admitting you want a pissing contest, I wanted you to show your true colours all along, you are predictable.Ah good, you're now admitting that you were the one that asked.
My rules for the grow-off:
1) the grow must be documented on RIU.
2)We agree on 3 people to send 1g samples to.
3)The product is judged on looks, smell, taste, but above all, potency. After all, this is a pissing contest .
Care to add any rules?
Yap, yap, yap, you just let me know when you grow a pair and we'll do this then. I'll ship anywhere, to anyone. Ball is in your court.Thank you for admitting you want a pissing contest,
My rules are this, I do not send samples to anyone beyond my shores, you don't like that tough, if you can't see how lame you are then you will play by my rules.
And if you're as confident as you think you are then you will agree to this as I am so clearly the underdog.
Deal??
