so with foilage pro... do i mist them with it? or water like normal?
I like promix better than coco but DG works fine with either medium. I'd suggest against using their bloom outside of hydro.Can Dyna-Gro nutes be used with coco? I was thinking of doing coco/Promix combo for my soil. Then use Foliage Pro and bloom. Will these nutes be ok to use?
i have and I'm currently using Dyna Gro with coco. I personally have had better luck and yields with Promix HP/Sunshine 4. I get around 6.5-9 ounces per plant in 3 gallons of promix or coco. The coco grows faster in Veg, but doesn't make as big a difference in final yield. I also have to adjust ph with coco and don't bother with promix.Can Dyna-Gro nutes be used with coco?

Not too many here are taking this point of view and more should. The hype and arguments on this subject is unbelievable! I can grow using anything, getting good results doesn't come down to what brand you use or how you mix your soil, no, it comes down to experience behind your knowledge. I recommend AN to any new grower because of ease of use...that's it! I can leave a grower for a week or two and if they have followed the instructions laid out for them,(because you see a lesson or two come with my product recommendations)I know what to expect. Once these growers have the knowledge from their own experience, some move into building their own soils, some switch it up but most stay with what they know, not because its better because they now understand it. JASYea and that's the one thing I can say I learned from RIU Thanks to guys like you. Most people think there some secret formula or step by step way to grow top notch stuff and That's simply not the case. A lot of its is based on a solid general knowledge then being able to analyze problem and use deductive reasoning to get to a solution. That's my goal at this point. Screw grams per watt or how frosy nugs are or mind blowing end results. I want to get the basics down and get to where I want to be knowing that it was skill and experience that got me there, not accidentally getting there by throwing nutes at the plant blindly without really knowing the "behind the scenes" workings
I was kinda thinking the same. How much more simple can it get for a grower than using a one part fertilizer?You definitely work for AN
My experience has been great. I use 5 gallon buckets with about 3-4 gallons of promix. I water when they need watered and the 'max ppm' is kinda-sorta strain-specific. I feel like their 'maintenance' directions are a pretty good starting point to work from.Homebrewer I am interested in your experience with Pro Mix and Dyna Gro. What size pots? How often do you water? Max ppm? ect ect ect. Thanks.
Thanks. Do you use a certain amount of run off like with the coco dtw group of growers?My experience has been great. I use 5 gallon buckets with about 3-4 gallons of promix.

Oh, and don't use bloom with promix, grow or foliage pro is what you want from start to finish.
Assuming you have an established plant and 'watering to runoff' doesn't water-log your medium, I like to see maybe 10% runoff when I water. It sounds basic but good watering practices are very important.Thanks. Do you use a certain amount of run off like with the coco dtw group of growers?
Yep, it's the "basics" that will make you or break you. All the other 'stuff' is secondary...... It sounds basic but good watering practices are very important.
I ran Pureblend Pro line, Earth Juice and various organic soil mixes (either blood/bone meal or guano based) and have run Lucas H3ad coco formula, osmocote plus and Dyna Gro. IMO the organic based does give a sweeter flavor, but I don't like to taste fertilizer in my buds. Once you taste a clean bud grown from Dyna Gro or even GH or a CRF and then try an organic version you will taste that "organic" flavor that IMO taints the real flavor of the bud.Do you guys notice a difference in flavor or any other properties using DG vs. an organic or partially organic line like pure blend pro?
I have been running DWC with DG... my latest grow is coco hempys with pbp and lineup. I have switched to this method for 1. less work and 2. move towards organics for better flavor. I know a lot of people say organics tastes better, so I want to find out for myself. But what do my fellow DG growers think?
