Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

Great thread HB, subbed. First time grower here and am using "Grow"+ "Bloom" for food. My chicks are at 37 days and just gave them their first 50/50 feed of grow+bloom (1/4tsp+1/4tsp). I plan starting my first flower in about a week or so :)

Actually, I have about 12 grows under my belt. I started by babysitting a friend's grow from start to end for about 6 runs and it was great. My last run with him yielded about 2.3 lbs/light. It was when I went on my own that everything fell apart.

Foliage Pro kills it in promix but any 1-1-1 balanced formula will do really well too.

Was thinking about giving Jacks Classic 20-20-20 a shot in Sunshine Advanced #4 which is Coco and PEat but then also considering trying the Foliage Pro as well.
 
I'm about to do Foliage Pro in Coco. With some new clones should I start out at 1 ml per gallon every other watering? And do I need to worry about pH? I'll be using RO water and I have the mag pro, pro tekt, and KLN too.

1ml/gal is definitely safe. I'd recommend balancing the pH of your water with protekt before you water your plants. So maybe you need 1/2ml/gal protekt? Experiment. Magpro isn't needed and I only use KLN for rooting purposes.
 
HB..I don't why people got negative thing to say, when someone like you to taken the time to share your knowledge and experience with people. Keep do what you are doing...You kool man.

No enzyme products here, I just knock the dirt off the roots and reuse the dirt. I don't think I'm going to push a batch of dirt more than two rounds but we'll see. Maybe there is a way to process the dirt (leaching, soaking, washing, or whatever) so that it can keep being used over and over. I'm all ears if someone has experimented. An important thing to note is that the dirt now has a mineral content to it so do not feed as frequently during its second use. Read the plant and you should be just fine.

Perhaps try some caps and bennies? Here's link. I'm currently using them in promix bx. https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/testimonials-for-caps-bennies.46603/
someone on forum reuses his soil several times applying caps and bennies and has good results.
 
What kind of pests? I def wont be reusing more than 2-3 times. I used caps and bennies for controlling fungus gnats and it did wonders! Within 12 hours it killed larvae by creating a white fungi barrier on them, adults didnt want to stick around in medium much. Larvae basicically decomposed in rockwool. I posted images on thcfarm forum. It can also be used against root aphids. To each there own. Just sharing my experience with it. Always good to share what works. :)
 
I had a mite outbreak and recycling the soil didn't seem to help matters at all. Like I said, if I could sterilize my dirt between runs, I'd be all about reusing dirt.
 
Sucks to here about mite problems. I been battling those critters all summer using stylet oil. Hopefully this run will treat me much better considering summer heat waves are over. I'll be giving the promix a shot with protek/grow/ caps and bennies see if I can push 3 runs with reused promix. Wish me luck! ��
 
@Homebrewer (since I'm not able to pm yet.) =(

I'm a new grower and started with dyna-gro, week 1 in flower (EC @ 1.2). Ebb&Flo Bucket system and pH @5.8-5.9

All my leaves are green, however looking through all your pictures it seems like all your petiole are lime green in color. But mine's are pinkish purple. Is this a sign I need add grow into the bloom mix?

Any advance how to use to the Dyna Gro line for a newbie?

Thanks in advance.

I would not recommend using only bloom during flower. A 50/50 mix of grow and bloom during flower at your feeding levels is a surefire home run.
