Nutrient Soup

[transposon]

All of this nutrients talk is mind boggling. What do you guys recommend for a simple and inexpensive option for a newbie? Also, do you recommend coco over soil?

Yes, coco is used with hydro, and soil, well, that's just dirt.

For simple, use a one-part nutrient like FloraGrow and FloraBloom. And don't use any supplements.

Supernatural should be kept a secret

I use House and Garden Aqua flakes A, B, root excelerator, and also b'cuzz bloom, calmag, silica blast, botanicare b1 and sweetener, mad farmer Nutz, ph up,down. M.O.A.B is the shit and have had great success, recently switched botanicare b1 with supernatural B1 and it did not impress me as the nitrogen must have been too much and made my crop slow down. However I will still be harvesting around 2lbs next week all under 1 -1000w HPS. I would like to see a nutrient comparison of advanced nutrient and house and garden I noticed on the advanced nutrient comparison infomercial on youtube, they didnt have House and Garden products, I strongly believe they would blow advanced nutrients out of the water.

Diamond nectar is the same as the mad farmer nutz I use and I use a healthy doseage from clones up untill I flush. I have found that the Nutz or Diamond nectar helps stabilize the PH and I spend less time balancing PH, yet I still do every day.

I still use the Lucas formula and GH flora series...I dont change out the nutes, just add rod water and/or nutes at a ratio of 8ml micro/16ml bloom per gal of rod water...I use the same for bloom or reveg...I've gone 4 generations so far and will only change/flush the res when I start a new grow...

hey bro can you help me out I have the gh flora series what is the lucas formula? and whats your add to a gallon of water of the lucas?

i am bringing the thread back. i use the aqua grow now. very agressive formula. love it.. so easy and cheap. how did your buds turn out after cut... hay smell or a long flush ect. i plan on trying the reveg thing this time to and have been wanting to. reveg for a month and good to go... love it!!

What about soil growing? I'm sorry for putting this in a hydroponic and aeroponic forum, but I was wondering if I could use any of the soil fertilizers that you can find at stores like Home Depot or Lowes. I don't want to be buying some weird nutes and then having nosy neighbors see them in my trash. stuff like Miracle Gro, Scott's, ya know, all that stuff...

 

[Dugrass0]

This is my first grow. I think it is going well. I use foxfarm produce. Grow big, and now flowering with big bloom and tiger bloom. I di use silica blast as well. Anything else I should be using?

Hi Dugrass0
You won't go wrong with the following:
Soil: Roots Organic (Original), mix with 20% perlite. This mix allows the 3 gal pots to dry in 4 days.
Nutrients:
Botanicare
Pure Blend Pro Grow
Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil, Don't use the Pure Blend Blooom in soil.
Aqua Shield
Liquid Karma
I substite Hydroplex for Advanced nutrients Big Bud,
I also use Advanced nutrients Overdrive.
I also use Silica blast, this strenthins the stem which I need for my Afgo.
Note:
About 40% increase in yield over FF
Same yield as Advance Nutrients, just 40% cheaper
I only use 66% of the recomended amounts on the lables.
Your hydro shop will have a botanicare feeding schedual, if not google Botanicare.
PS: I am getting 30g of quality bud per plant of Afgoo 16 x 3gal pots under a 600w MH/JPS with a very good reflector.
Thats 1lb for a 600, all my friends think i am a magician lol
I do top then twice and veg for 4 weeks, I also severly trim all the undergroth and runners off during veg and the first week of bloom.
I found the Afgoodis an Airy (Puffy) bud, The big bud and Overdrive relly fattens them up.
I don't Feed Water Feed or any thing fancy, Just Feed everytime at 66% of lable amounts every 4 days.
Of course that is afte they get some growth, durng the first week of Veg it is 8 day befre feeding then about 6 days etc:
Hope this helps.

 

[operation ghost train]

Just wondering should I flush with ph water, I just feed my babys nutes for the first time. or should I give them nutes again but feed a lil less, please help!!!

 

[5stars]

Is it ok in early stage poor nutrient mix which has N, P. K, S in it? Or Ca Nitrogen and Mg better?

I prolly have enough fertilizers to make a nice sized bomb. lol

Right now I have been experimenting a little.

Grow room:

Envy a+b - I really like this stuff. Not too potent. I don't use very much at first.
Bcuzz root - I add this pretty much until I bloom.
Bcuzz grow - I cut back on this a lot. I'm trying to keep things shorter.
Superthrive - 1-2 cap fulls every 5 gallons. Every watering.
Hydrogen peroxide - Every watering.
Hygrozyme - Turns decaying matter into food. Like dead roots. Every watering.

I have been using these with pretty good success.


Bloom room:

Envy a+b - Almost every watering.
Bcuzz bloom - Works good with the envy but I want to give them more.
Cool bloom - More of a fertilizer than an enhancement like Bcuzz. Worked well. Nice big buds in my aerogarden.
Bio nova bloom - experimenting with this now. I have had lots of recommendations for this. Seems to be working nice. Lots of new growth now.
Cal-mag - I use this at half strength. My bro makes me use it. I don't know.
Hygrozyme - Good stuff.
hydrogen peroxide -
Sweet - adds flavor
banana mana - banana extract adds flavor too.

I have one other bloom nute but I cant remember the name. I think the BN bloom is what I am going to stick with for a while. Seems to be working good.

I thought I was crazy to let a banana soak in water the for a previous grow I did. I believe it worked. Seeing this just affirms it.
