Wassup. I'm on my fist grow. I'm a few days from switching to 12/12 and I just wanted to get some input on my nute lineup. I've been using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro with GREAT success. I've been using the entire botanicare lineup: PBP Grow, Liquid Karma, Aqua Shield, and Cal-Mag+. When I start flowering, I'm going to start using Sweet and then Hydroplex in the later weeks.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Can't seem to find much on it an what I did find wasn't that great. Hoping I can find some growers out there with some first hand experience. Does it really work? Do you know of a better product that does the same thing? Any info would help.

I'll be waiting bongsmilie

Here's some pic's of the ladies. Some of the smaller plants in the pic will be taken out and continue to be vegged for use as Mothers in the future

i grow in hydro, it looks like your p.h. has been off alittle like 3-4 days make sure p.h. is always in the orangy area if using liquid tester and if not use 5,5 on the digital meter. The digitals suck I use the g.h. tester liquid myself. Otherwise looks good not too tightly packed but i wouldnt put anymore plants in there.

Hey Tamorin. Thanks alot, I'm taking plants out actually. +REP. I don't think the p.h. has been off for that long but it varies. I have a digital meter. I usually drop my ph with some ph down when it gets to 5.9-6. I read that optimum was between 5-6. I have a 50 gal res (bout 55 gal actually) and 10 ml of Mad Farmer PH Down drops my ph exactly .5. So it ranges somewhere between 5.5-6, it occasionally gets a little higher before I have time to catch and correct it. Just so I know in the future, how can you tell my ph has been off? Any experience with Hydroplex?

And should I be taking my ph lower. Like all the way to 5. I read something about ph drift a while back and how it was good because different nute's get absorbed at different ph levels. Am I missing out on nutes that get absorbed before 5.5. Are there any?
