Anyone else using Roots Organics products or have in the past?

This is my second grow with Roots Organics Soil. Last grow I used a mix of Regular Roots Organic and Roots Organics Lush with a Fox farm trio for nutes.

This `time the grow supply didn't have any Lush so Its 100% Regular Root Organics Soil. I did change my Nutes to Roots Organics Buddha Grow, Trinity and Buddha Bloom. Im not real sure how to use the Trinity https://www.aurorainnovations.com/trinity Do I use it at full strength mixed with Buddha Grow or would that be too hot?

Each grow I usually make 4 big mistakes. Last grow overfeeding was one of them. I'd like to skip that one if I can this grow Any advice other than changing to a different nutrient line this grow is welcomed.

Forget the advanced calmg. What’s your water source????

also your gunna have a MUCH harder time over feeding wi try the roots Buddha line.

origanol soil has plenty of food for the first 4-6 weeks. I like to too dress earth worm castings to help the soil get super active.

then start feeding as directed the day before plants are getting hungry. That’s gunna be an experience thing but keep pics here and we can help you know when to start feeding.

also with Buddha series once plants are mature and big/hungry you can go mid to full strengths and follow the instructions! I’m pretty sure if you read the fine print it says to make yournutrient solution and let it sit for 24 hours or something.

the ingredients are al natural and organic. And not as “instant” asFF trio. So it will be harder for you to over feed. You could go full - high strength and still see little burn.
Good luck !

If you want to grow organic then you need to drop the RapidStart and AN calmag which are both inorganic.

The rapid start I just use on sprouts until a couple weeks old and a little in my cloner (still learning about cloning - just cloning tops at this time) The cal mag I never even thought about that but Roots Organics has a organic calmag formula so I will switch to that. I want to be as close to 100% organic as I can. Thank you for your reply!

This year Im using a locally produced spring water. I have a ph meter but have never taken it out of the box. Knowing that I cant really over feed them now Ive upped the nutes to the recommended levels and they have responded nicely last week of watering/feeding. Not that I am real experienced at this I have to say outside of the few problems I had germinating the Anesia seeds Ive never seen plants quite so vigorous with their growth. Your reply was very helpful, thanks!

Im gonna buy me some bushdoctor cal mag from foxfarm tomorrow just because i need it and have small pots but i dont really know if it’s organic and wont kill the beneficial stuff..

I dont know? And Ive never thought of that. I use Mycorrhizal each time i transplant. Im going to pickup the Roots Organic calmag tomorrow.

before you buy cal mag, check your tap water. most city tap water has plenty of cal mag in it already

I just ordered a bottle of Uprising bloom. Never used it but seems worth a shot. I also ordered a gallon of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom. Will use both in flower.
I used Alaskan fish 5-1-1, Botanicare Cal-Mag plus, seaweed extract, a organic worm tea concetrate for feeding in veg. Soil is Black Gold organic with some Gardner & Bloome 13-0-0 blood meal and 7-3-1 bat guano worked in there.
I am possibly going to try some Roots Organic stuff in veg for the next run.

I picked up the Roots organic Calmag and won some Foop Cloning Gel along with a bunch of Foop products (look like great products) in an Instagram drawing. So now its so now Ive gone from 95% organic to 100%

I used the Foop ready to use Mist and liked what it did. Plus it smells of peppermint. Going to try their cloning gel soon.

I've never seen it as a liquid, but I've used the powdered Uprising line with great results, one of my tastiest most aromatic plants.

I've used the roots Buddha Grow and Bloom along with Trinity with real good results.

How was the cal mag? I got a gallon and found it thick and gell-ish didnt mix well in the water had pre mix it in the syringe with a bit of water and an air bubble

I use roots original soil. It’s good stuff plants like it. Good quality control, doesn’t come full of gnats. Haven’t tried any of their other stuff, I’m sure it’s fine though.

yes its sticky have to really wash out my measuring (shot) glass. I mix it in with my nutes the day before using. My air stone seems to keep it all moving but always another good stir before application. Thinking with the Foop freebies I got I might do a side-by-side of the two products next grow. I just used the cloning gel I think its best cloning product Ive ever used.
