My hydro shop gave me some grow and bloom samples. I guess I'll run a hydro grow with them and see how it does.

What do you use to boost P and K?

Pretty much. I added some free tester bottles of bloom food at the end and lowered the max sea a bit but that was right after i took that picture. I run grow food almost all the way. I finnish it up with higher pk feeding. It works. They stay green and healthy.

No, we buy the bloom bro.. run both the first few weeks of flower... max sea is lacking Cal mag though.

did years of testing nutrients in hydro, best yield to cost ratio hands down go with general hydroponics maxi grow, maxi bloom.. great stand alone nutrients for beginers to experts, great yields, just do a good 3-5 day flush at finish...

believe it or not, even tho its a cheap nutrient it stood up to serious testing against the higher priced nutrients.. in my tests advanced came in 4th place under 1st gh nova, 2nd foiliar pro, and 3rd plant life 3 part,,? but in my water those wer the real results after years of side by side tests in 4x4 f&d tables...

Good bang for buck nutrients ive used. Lets see...there all overpriced. Lets get that out.of the way. With that said Botanicares CNS17 is complete and cheaper than most shelf brands. But its diluted. Dynagro line is pretty cheap considering how little you use to hit target EC. Ionic is awesome, cheap but again diluted. Notice these are all one parts? Mbferts out of Detroit is extremely bang for buck and very effective. I do like my one parts i must admit. Easy, cheap and to the point. I like working in my gardens not mixing up plant food. That whole process should but quick and simple. Bust out the Bluelab combo meter, refill and reset my feed tanks and get back to topping, tying, CLEANING , checking for pests and diseases, the normal stuff. Mixing up nutes for my tanks is dead simple and just part of my regular routine. Once you get to a certain consistent and dialed in level with indoor cannbis cultivation you start to realize that the varieties and the genetics of those varieties is the most important factor in trying to accomplish what you set out to acheive.

Im tired of running bloom food. Ive been experimenting for years when it comes to the bloom foods. My best runs have been grow nutes all the way through. Every damn time i switch to the bloom food i start to yellow out early and my yeild suffers. So now i just run grow to week five of flower and then give em bloom for the last couple weeks or run a weak dose of grow and give it some pk boosters to hit those pk values for the last little while. With my outdoor i just ran sample bottles i got over the last season to get the pk up.

Is there a reason to run bloom food that im missing? Cause ive gotten the best weights from straight grow start to finnish.

I would say there isnt a reason in your case. And thats all that matters. Ive ran many of grow nutes all the way and crops turned out fine. Dynagro foliage pro for example. Ive also ran Ionic Bloom 3-2-6 for veg thru bloom and it worked fine. If your getting results id say your doing it right!!!

I run both till after the stretch then just use bloom. Less nitrogen in the bloom.


You can run 1 all the way threw and be fine.. it's just the way I've always done it.

I'm currently using 2/3 bloom and 1/3 all purpose. I just began wk 4. They look amazing, not one complaint.

I mix about 4gal at a time. My water is 7.3pH and 380ppm. I mix one level tsp of 16-16-16 and two level tsp of 3-20-20 and my water comes to 6.8pH and 1050 ppm. Bam, they love it. They get that every other day or so, with the occasional watering in between. Super easy I tell ya
