HB, SIlicone is a fairly significant additive. In the name of fairness, what about using protekt in both test groups or grabbing the AN equivalent, Rhino Skin.....or cutting it out completely?

I use protekt regardless of what base I'm using. I used it when I was running GH and DG side-by-side and I'm using it with Connoisseur as well.

Hey HB,
I`m here all eyes..Just started using Dyna and have been using all the BS AN top of line gear with all the add ons and then some....

Just stated in Coco 30 mls of Dyna with 20 Liters of water..Hope thats right?

Also use the Pro-Tekt 15 mls per 20 liters of water..Not sure if I shouldn`t use More of this like 30 mils as well to 20 liters of water??

Hope these are about right ratios?

In totes with 60 percent cana coco and 40 percent Perlite. Should one also feed with each water?
Hope this is ok with ya HB to ask here or should I pm ya?
BTw my ppms with Dyna in this ratio with other additives = total 910 ?
AN would be like 1400 with their base nutes and Same additives??


Thanks

I don't have any experience with coco as I believe that is 'drain to waste' growing. Personally I'd feed like I feed my dirt plants so for you, that would be like 15mls of base and 23mls of protekt per 5 gallons. I'd experiment with feed, feed, water as I don't think you'll need to feed every time. Again, these are just guesses based on what I do in sunshine mix.

Day 8 today and there isn’t really much to report. I’ve been keeping a daily log of the pH stability and will post those numbers in a week or two. I want to get one more week in using my usual RO water, then try tap water for a week. Regardless of the water source, DynaGro’s pH stability has been rock solid for me. I just need a little more time before I can comment on the pH tendencies of Connoisseur.

Thanks HB,
BTw my ppms with Dyna in this ratio with other additives = total 910 ?,
If I go lower like you mention wdn`t my ppms only be like 500 or so?

What should I try to keep the ppms in VEg and flower?

btw I dont really feed to waste just feed when the totes are light and get them heavy again usually its like 10 lites each per 18 gal. tote. lots of mix...

Also when you say you use
floralicious plus I was at a shop today and its just 2 N. so is it to give more N. I had thought it was for flowering or something??

500ppm on the .7 conversion or 442 scale is as high as I go in flower in dirt pots. I'm at about 200ppm in veg.

In that case, I'd go with the numbers i stated above. It's said a lot but less is more when it comes to feeding. There is just no need to jam nutes down your plants' throats as they only require a certain level given their size and environment.

I've found that it aids in resin production (not potency) and increases aroma. It's an aesthetic thing. I have it but don't always remember to use it.

Cool, this will be interesting! Do you have two of the same flood trays with 6 plants each, one running AN and the other DG?

Actually I do, but the other tray has a mix of my purple strain and kali mist. To keep things as identical as possible, I always conduct my journals in this set up in the corner. Lighting is obviously very important and this corner of the room has 2 walls with mylar vs the tray next to it which only has one. Plus, the tray next to it utilizes a different reflector hood.
