Mangoes and ginger, hmmm... I wonder if ginger was that underlying smell I was thinking of.
There was some spice in there especially the intake hit...and barely underlying the citrusy peachy....I thought mangoes too but citrus peach was what it smelled to me...lol

When the plants are alive and growing, they're obviously more fragrant. Mangos, citrus, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, are all good descriptors for the lighter fruit notes but there is some kind of ginger or 'orange zest' sort of aroma too. Not sure if that carries over to the dried product but that's my impression anyways.

Doe you know what nutrients the bacteria makes more available?
I do not know which ones specifically as I just saw a greater overall sensitivity to nutes when using GW. It just took less to keep them green and to yield well. I also kept the ratios of grow and bloom the same throughout flowering so it's not like one or the other seemed to be 'too much', I just assumed both.

DAMN i read this whole thread just to get to the end and have to pm u. as i already own a batch of this crap that was paid for by a former partner. it sounded to me like the fluctuations in the uptake and the overall cost of the product makes it pointless.

my next grow im going to invest in growing ebb and flow style just like you this sounds INSANELY simple.

Any Chance i could get a break down or a thread referral for your current setup and methods used

Do you Fim / top? Have you ever tried the "Sea of Green" method

Thx for your response

Check out the journals in my sig, there should be plenty of info in there as to how I operate.

I top in veg and supercrop in flower. SOG is more for particular strains and when plant numbers aren't a concern. Plant numbers are a concern for me and I don't have any strains that would do well with SOG.

how long was your veg? What was your ppm? Those plants look small and skinny. I also read your reply on the other thread about advances connessueir. I tried both connessueir and sensi bloom and there's really no difference other than connessueir rapes you with the price.
 
homebrew im usin dynagro grow and bloom for a dcw system how much should i add per gal and is there anything else i should add to the water besides the dynagro

Hey HB,
Sorry to be a pain in the ass. I wanted to get the results on the great white run but can't PM you. Could you PM me? Currently switching to DG from AN;)

I don't know how many posts you need but it looks like you don't have enough to send or receive PMs.

Gotcha, I don't have a whole lot to post about at this point;) just getting going. Anyway you are the one person I have found that makes any fucking sense. Just had a shit run with an and just getting some babies going. I wondered if you would use GW again or not? Also do you have a rough feed\EC schedule with proportions of grow, bloom etc? I have some 3 week-old seedlings and don't want to get off track. I have DG grow, bloom, protekt, mag-pro, floralicios plus and great white running tap water at 80-90 ppm. Top drip to waste in rockwool. If you could give me some direction I would be eternaLly grateful! You are definitely the shit. I like your no bullshit approach!

I feed at about .7 EC in veg and around 1.2 in flower. Veg is just grow and protekt. Flower I use everything. 85% of my EC is a mix of grow and bloom and that mix depends on the week of flowering. Roughly 5% is protekt and the remaining 10% is magpro. When I feed, I refer to an excel spreadsheet I put together which allows me to play with the mls/gallon values of the products to hit a desirable EC. Protekt and magpro are pretty much the same from start to finish, the ratio of grow to bloom changes. Sorry to be a little vague but what works for me may not be optimal for you, but I think the parameters above will put you in the right direction. Don't be afraid to feed lighter than I do to start. Burr gets great results feeding about 15% lower than I do.

Sweet, thanks. I just needed a good baseline. I will definitely start light like you say. Everyone else is always talking EC 2.0-2.4 during flower and if you follow most lables that shit goes to like 3.0 depending. AN is horrible that way. Thanks for your help. You are my hero;)
