Everybody seems to say the say AN works great, but I hear a lot of people saying it's really expensive and same results can be had with other, cheaper stuff. So...I dunno... the choice now is to pay 75 bucks for AN Grow A & B to finish of this veg stage and have a ton left over or just buy something new worth trying to finish this round and then use it to start from ground zero on the next. Or... maybe just start them on the AN bloom nutes I have now to finish veg... maybe just change proportions close to what NPK should be... Whatever the case, I have to decide soon since I have enough only for one more feeding...lol

I tryed AN Jungle Juice line. Was an epic fail. When i opened the bottle of grow there were xhunks of algae floating around. When i mixed it up it would turn from green to blue.. I took that shit right back to the store. We checked other bottles and found like 12 of them to be bad. To me House and Garden Soil. + GO line= Winning...ohhh yeah and a shit load of mycos an castings..

IMO,An is overpriced snake oils.I agree with Mr lopez...Good soil base and EC,and Mycos.
I also brew teas,and my plants love em...And the taste you will get from organics is great.
I help a few ppl with MS, and they do edibles and be damn if im gonna give them any Chems.

Hey what's the brown rust looking like stuff on your leaves on the right of the picture.
I have a similar issue going on and I put it down to over fert issues.
it doesn't sound like you are feeding that much though. Just wondering if you have any ideas?

Could be a couple things, heat, nute burns due to the slow release nutes in MG or maybe even older fan leaves starting to die off. Maybe he has started to flush and those fans are about to turn to little brown crispies, you know? I would vote of some of those little nute balls in MG stuck together then releasing late in the grow.

I use MG from time to time, actually about to use some in my current grow, i pour out what im gonna use and go through it thoroughly and look for build ups of nutes and any foreign objects that might have been dropped in at the factory. I also add a small amount of lime and worm casting and about 1/3 to total ratio perlite. MG is good soil but like anything you use you should really inspect what your about to put your babies into. I have found odd objects and even mold growth in even the "high grade" soils out there.

Peace,

wow, some of you guys are using a lot of different types of nutes...makes me wonder what i might be missing out on. I am currently on week 5-6(i have it written down, just not next to me) since switching to 12/12, and this is my first grow. I was able to pick up the general hydroponics flora micro, bloom,and grow 3 part nutes (only using 2) from a friend of mine for rather cheap so i have been using this, i am growing in FFOF soil with 3 parts soil mixed to 1 part perlite. I waited until the 5th week of veg before i started to give nutes. Started at 1/4 strength and worked up to full. After doing some research I found the lucas formula, and decided to follow it because i was lost without it. Full strength nutes are 8ml flora micro and 16ml flora bloom mixed to 1 gallon of water. I vegged for 9 weeks total, so by the time I was ready to switch to flower I was using this full strength formula, and saw no issues. About 2-3 weeks into flowering it started showing calmag issues. So now i give 8-16-5 (micro-bloom-calmag) and have not seen any issues. What i wanna know is, should i be using all these other fancy nutes you guys are using? Am i missing out on more thc and bigger buds?

8ml flora micro 16ml flora bloom 5 ml calmag per gallon of tap water left to sit out overnight. feed 2 gallons each plant every 5 days. plants are in 5 gallon buckets

In veg i run House and Garden Soil. Nutes 100% strenght

Transplanted clones get
1.5 gallon pots.
Promix hp w/mykos.
Inside of pots
stripped with Molasses, then sprinkled with Crab meal, Blood meal. Domolite lime..Layed down half
of pot with soil then applied one cup of
wormcastings, Azos, and granular mykos.
Slighty stir..
Did the same thing when i put the clones in the
cups.. I have great success with this method
I use Home made SuperSoil to top dress in the
transition from veg to flowering.

In flowering i run The H&G soil all the way to week 5.
The most ppms is 1000.
Ohh yeah w/ Fox farms beastie bloomz in week 5. (
That stuff works ).

Week 5 till 7 i run the General Organics w/ppms @ 800-600ppms

And till chop i run Water with molasses. All the way
to the end. Keep them bitches fat..

I feed water feed water feed water feed.

Everytime i water in veg i apply extreme garding
mykos and azos benefical bacterias.

And in flowering when i water i use Silica Blast,
Molases, Budswell..

Its complex.. but the end result is Class A.. Just
thought i would share with u..

Hey sup Stew......Ive been sick with Flu or something.
I think we have only really touched the surface here, and this thread could help
with Yields for alot of ppl.Thats really whats I intended it to do is let ppl get
alot of different methods and then choose for what application fits there needs
as im not doing anything but...Organics in Soil.

I am gonna due DWC in a big Waterfarm,Its the big one,think its like 8 gallons.
I have 4 diy DWC I built,and 1 small and the big Waterfarm.I get bored, just growing
and always do some form of Soiless in the fall n winter months.

Just got some samples of Great White and Jellyfish to try out next grow.. :)

Getting some killer strains to run too. Check out page 84-85 of my thread if you got a minute.
I updated the other night with my new camera and i put up about half the strains for next grow, maybe a little more than half. :)


Hope you feel better bro.


As for this thread, absolutely will help with yields.
Going to be looking into almost every setup people have posted to this point before i run the next grow.
Gonna experiment with a few different things so that i know what the strains i make can do with different nutrient systems.
Got Peruvian Gold Organic nutrient system to try out. Maybe a few more by the time I'm ready to start up again, after harvest.
