Mixing organic and chemical nutes(Humboldt Roots and Dyna-gro)

[powerslide]

I am running COCO 12-12 FS. I think my seedlings are lagging behind based on a few grow journals. i have been using dyna gro, dyna protect and humboldt roots. Think i started feeding too late and too little. Been slowly working my way up but w/ no veg time i feel like everytime i make a wrong move i really hurt myself and final yield is going to suffer. I havent used the Roots and the Dyna products in the same watering if i do should i PH my water prior to adding in the Roots? Reading the back of the bottles Roots and protect have some similar make ups so maybe i dont even need to worry about the roots and just up the grow? They dont look like they are hurting but just not growing very fast majority are green i would say 4of20 are a lighter green. Just tonight i fed 1/2tsp grow and 1/4tsp protect to a gallon. They each got about 100ml in solo cups. Mixture came out to about 170ppm. They are 20 days old.

anyone run these two together? and mix them in the same jug?

Dynagro is a complete fert. That's the whole point of it. Should not need anything else

 

[powerslide]

well they make 6-7 different products and most people suggest using 3

Grow - 7-9-5 General Purpose Formula or Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 Tropical Foliage Formula if you can find it. Both are great
Bloom 3-12-6 Blooming Formula

On seedlings that young? Basic grow nutrients are all a seedling needs. In a good grow medium with good seed?

I think most suggest Gro and protekt. This is my first run in coco so i cant say for sure wether botanicare is a good coco or not. I opened my bag of roots organic coco last night and it looks alot better. It is what i am going to transplant to once they start to show sex.

I am on day 25 from seed. I finally got tired of them being yellow so i hit them w/ 400ppm 1tsp of the grow formula on the 22nd day and it didnt burn them(even had one seed that took a week or more longer to crack and didnt even burn it). Some are STILL yellow i will chalk that up to probably being the males in the group. Last night Day 24 I hit them w/ 400ppm grow along w/ 100ppm of moon dust. It has alot more N in it. Its what i ran twice in my aero system. Will see how they look in next couple days.

At day 25 in a soilless mix you can start to bump up the feed as long as you are running under HID lighting. I used protekt and did not see a benefit so it got dropped.

I run in organic soil these days but if I was running any bottle nutes, it would be dyna-gro. As I recall, I ran it at about 1000 ppm in tables and buckets. If they are still yellow, feed em more.

Sadly, males can be the most vigorous in the garden.

Yeah this is my first 12/12 seed grow moved them under my 400 at like day 7 and i think i could of hit them w/ 400ppm about a week maybe two weeks earlier. Like i said i had a seed lag behind about a week or week and a half on popping and its been getting the same nutes and is doing fine. Appreciate you talking it out with me. I know next time to get them some nutes a little earlier. I was trying to concentrate on the root structure w/ the Humboldt roots and neglected them above the surface.
