WTF???? This is supposed to help?
I read through this thread because I had the same question that as tick-tock. I have a few successful closets grows under my belt and knew just enough about nutrients to get decent results. But it's about five years since I did my last grow (with Flora Nova), so I thought I would catch up a bit.
Now, thanks to all the experts in this thread strutting their knowledge and pissing on each other's heads, I have no fucking idea which way is up!
I know some of you guys know a lot. I respect your expertise, and usually, I am grateful that you are willing to share it, but following this thread is like trying to drink from a fire hose!
I don't know what Tick Tock's reaction to all this was, but I am going to buy a bottle of Miracle Grow and forget I ever read this thread.
Hey bud,
Here is a simple answer, start with Jacks' 3-2-1 program. It's that simple. It's an AP base (jacks hydro 5-12-20, I think) you use 3.7 g a gallon, Cal nitrate 15-0-0 used at 2.5 g per gallon, and Epsom salts, used at 1.2g a gallon
U can switch to bloom boost for the two weeks of flower and bud set 10-20-30, just this no can't rate or Epsom and use MOST (reg version) three times, once at the start of veg, again at flower switch and once more mid flower.
Three weeks out from harvest, use house and garden shooting powder as directed, and you will have excellent results without 100 bottles of additives.
If you desire, these supplements are helpful but not needed; using just 321, you can get excellent results at denies per gallon of fertilizer.
For clones and smaller plants, you can use Jack's clone fert, or drop your g/G to the appropriate ppm or e.c. for clones...
Personally, for clone solution, I use
Clonex feet (no root gel)
Canna Rhizotonic (5L is $200.00, but you do not need much, in fact, it is beneficial as a foliar feed, clones root in 2 weeks 90% success rate, no hormones)
Myco+ (its a brand of mycorrhizal inoculant
Recharge/Tribus "Grow" by Impello biosciences.
Si ArmorS
Superthrive
I precharge my media with a similar formula
3g A, 2g B, 1g Epsom salt, and additional CalMag
si armor
essential 1-0-1
Mycó+
Tribus Grow or /Recharge
Rhizotonic
SuperThrive
Additives not needed but potentially able to optimize your growth by eliminating problems, the same goes for benefits, despite the inorganic nature, mycorrhizal and bacterial inoculants jeep roots healthy, said in absorption rate of nutrients, drought resistance, root rot resistance, ability to use some organic supplement and have them work. But most healthy, clean, roots - happy, productive plants. Contrary to opinion, research shows chemical ferts do not kill microbial or fungal colonies, a common misconception.
Optional Additives
EssentialPlud 1-0-1 (humates, and their organic soilless your coco or soiless media more like soil to support myco and beneficial bacteria, also clears excessive salt buildup)
Tribus Origional or Bloom & Grow (Impello bioscience) (phosphorus fixing beneficial bacteria_ nitrogen-fixing)
Real Growers Recharge (myco strains, bacteria strains, and food for them, molasses, humates)
Si Armor or similar silicon-containing product
SLF-100 OMRI (enzyme formula, expensive but designed to clean roots and aid beneficial, in hydro or regular grows where base nutes are salts)
Neptune's Harvest Green 0-0-1 (kelp based additive, most of these supps are to support healthy rhizosphear for optimal root zone development which benefits your plant, helps with ph swings and disease resistance.)
House and Garden Shooting Powder
If using beneficial, a jar of black strap molasses to feed them is not bad idea make sure unsulfured.
Hope this is helpful m8.
