Big Bud works with Overdrive in that they are applied at different
times of the flowering cycle. Other than the Botanicaire standards
and molasses, these and B-52 (vitamins essentially) are all I add.

It does all add up:

ProBlend Bloom
Cal-Mag
Silica Blast
Liquid Karma
Big Bud / Overdrive (weeks 2-4/5-6)
B-52 (weeks 3-6)
Strapped Molasses

I am not sure that I need it all....but my plants are happy. :0)

So I'll defiantly need more then bud candy and big bud to get a better yield lol. Well hopefully I can get some of those things soon. I just got my seeds and need soil and getting my veg light box running I might have to wait a little bit to get some of those nutes.

It is funny but as I learn more I will probably use less.

It is like having a first child, when they say that one "cares
the more and knows the least". I am trying to cover all bases,
though I am through a few cycles now.

Good luck,

JD

Ive done a complete DWC grow, with those 2 bottles,My tap h20 is good and i never had a Cal-mag def,and got almost 6ozs,and never ran my ppm over 950.
It was the strain Big bud=commercial high yielder but mine was actually pretty strong.

i have a version of big bud that's a strong one too! Great yields and super skunky smell. When I first started my gardening journey those gh nutes were the first ones I tried

Sorry I didn't see you asked a question. The big bud is from Advanced Nutrients, this one http://www.amazon.com/Big-Bud-Liquid-Hornby-Liter/dp/B001GBOAQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375885713&sr=8-1&keywords=big+bud And the bud candy is the same that was in your previous set of picture. So I can get away with what I have and those two bottles of gh for flower and still get a decent yield of around 2zips

That's nuts. Yeah I'm not a fan of commercial strains, around here they still try to pass it with top shelf prices. It's ridiculous

You know Beech...I have not had a Mag Def either, that I could recognize anyway....lol

When I get some real room (an outdoor greenhouse I am thinking) I will be able
to do some side-by-sides, and can try leaving stuff out and adding new stuff.

That two bottle solution seems about as simple as it comes. I could probably
get away with ProBlend Bloom too. I am just new and paranoid. :0)

Take care,

JD

When I first started doing DWC and tables,I used Dutch Masters,Thinking it cost more should do better,Wrong.I have had great results with the Lucas Formula,with the GH Bloom n Micro-enough nitrogen in the micro that you dont need the grow bottle.

Yea,JD its the Lucas F.It keeps it real simple,just have to watch PH as the bloom really lowers ph,When your grow hits that magical stage where you ph is staying stable for over 48hrs,with not having to add a ph adjustment, It makes doing soiless so easy.The main thing for me here is keeping the res.temps in low 70s,above 80f alot of issues arise.I just break the heat cycle onetime a day by adding a few frozen bottles of water.I cant wait for winter to get her where I can run my my DWC systems.Gonna get a chiller after I get all this damn dental work done,Its costing me a fortune.

I would not put my BB in the commercial strain category,It was as strong as most of the strains ive ran,with only a few that were really stronger.
You should be fine ADT,with what you have now.I just dont really ever have any issues when I use the GH Micro,For me i will use it from now on,For all the micro elements.
Now for the Macros is where,You have to decide what to use.....Like JD said these GH nutes are preety much idiot proof,Not saying your a idiot.
Its just hard to fuck up a GH grow.Alot of the other nutes are so strong AN being one,one bad application of nutes and you will fry them so fast,beyond recovering and could cost you alot of yield.

Man I would love to have a really strong heavy yielder, but I'm probably more happy with less and yield and better quality. Yeah I defiantly would like something idiot proof while I'm still trying to dial things down, but I can't spend too much. With that GH bloom and micro only being about $10 a bottle, wouldn't hurt me too bad, but I would love to be able to pull it off with the AN big bud and bud candy that I already have. I think I'll be able to get some GH in a couple weeks right around when I start flowering. And I'll remember to go 1/4 dose at first with the AN stuff, make sure I won't over do anything things time, nice and slow.

Few small things going on: That Unknown #1 plant is looking rough, and very yellow. I never expect much out of the plant but I might see if I can turn it around, it was put in soil mix with waay too much peat moss, and stays droopy 24/7. The Plato plant is recovering from the molasses, I lost some larger/older fan leaves, but still plenty healthy looking. I'm going to give it a good flush with plain water today, then this Friday I'm getting more FFOF and a 5g bucket to transplant it. I'll give it a good week or so to get a healthy recovery from the transplant, then switch it to flower. Also my seeds shipped out today, expecting them to be here around when I can get my veg light in a couple weeks.

My tastiest buds so far were my Somango.

They got nice and big for a two week Veg, but the AK-47 I grew
out-yielded them. I way preferred the Somango for smoking.

The AK has good strength, but my pheno is kinda boring, taste-wise.

Onward and upward,

JD
