Man I have been using Genl Hydroponics Grow and Bloom and the Bloom (Flora Nova) is about 4-8-7 which is weak.

Same exact nutes I use now.. just don't think they push a plant to its full potential

Is it because you are using fox farm that you need the cal mag? Or is it because of the water that you use??

I used the ff trio and ran into calmag issues, so I'd say it is. Didn't supplement back then cause I thought the line had enough in it, obviously not. Lol

Always used a combination of general purpose and tomato Miracle Grow. Never had a problem. My current little White Widow is moving along just fine.

Do you add in any supplements or just those two? One during veg, the other for flower.

Nice. I can't say I haven't ran the good old mg in the past. Lol ran into issues with nute burn, mainly because I was mixing in larger containers 55gln drums to be exact to feed my garden. I guess it ended up being to hot for the mj. That's when I decided to go with something more cannabis friendly.

Most folks make the mistake of following the outdoor mixture levels and use the large tablespoon per gallon. That will burn them up every single time. You use the indoor guide and smaller spoon per gallon and you'll never have an issue.

And that's exactly what I believe I did. Mainly because I was outdoors feeding the garden.. may give it a try again.

You ever run into any calmag issues? These strains I have going now have been a down right pain in the ass.. started off in veg with a slight calmag, now their in week 6 of flower and eating calmag like mother's milk!! Only two though, the Lemon OG Kush, and Grape Kush..

Never had that problem. I use another cheap alternative from the beginning: A 5 dollar bag of Lime from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Espoma-6-75-lb-Garden-Lime-100508617/203192761

You can either mix it with the soil when you plant or mix it with water and water it in later. Either way.

Cool, thnx for the info.. just getting tired of purchasing calmag at 20+ a bottle.

CalMag was made more for hydroponics growers. Lime is what you use in soil. You use the lime, you'll never again have a need for the CalMag. You can't really have any decent soil crop of any kind without a bit of lime added.

Will do.. I'm going to purchase a bag of soil today. How much lime would you recommend to add?

If you're in pots, 2-4 table spoons per plant unless it's a really big pot. I grow in 3 gallon containers on current grow and I put in 4. I just add it with the soil and perlite in my wheelbarrow, mix it up really good and then into the pot it goes. Water it down with RO water to settle it, top it off, then it's ready to go.

Cool, I'm going to just mix it directly into the bag. I'm thinking along side of bone meal, cotton seed, kelp, and a excelerite for added micros.

I don't use any of that junk. Just regular old, cheap ass Miracle Grow potting soil, Perlite, and that bag of lime. That's it.

I spent a grand total of 40 bucks for the last two grows I've done and still have enough materials left to do 3 or 4 more at least.

2 weeks later. Grow is in my sig.

Just get a bottle of DynaGro Foliage Pro. Its really all you need. If you want a bloom nutrient as well get their Bloom, but its not really needed. Cheap and effective.

This was done with only foliage pro and protekt (silica) and it turned out great.

Finally. I found someone that is using Jacks. Ok, can it be used with hydro? I had planned on running a few soil, and a few dro. I'm currently running soil and about finshed up, just wanted to know if Jacks was good for hydro. Also, would you recommend adding in calmag along side of Jacks? Do you run it all the way through flowering, or so you switch from the all purpose line to the bloom? Sorry to bombard you with all the questions, just hadn't seen many using Jacks. Thanks for any insight in advance

They have 2 hydro formulas, I always tell hydro growers to check out DynaGro

TimeToBurn · Aug 31, 2016

I use Jacks Citrus along with a bottle of Cal/Mag from veg to bloom with Promix HP soil and get super dank, big buds. Its very cheap and easy to use.
